WHAT'S NOT ON MY MIND

by Carla Gannis

Reception: 01/23/2010, 6pm - 9pm



Exhibition: 01/23/2010 - 02/27/2010

Is there anything NOT on your mind? With the ubiquitous proliferation of social and information networks in our lives, EVERYTHING seems to always be on our collective mind(s).

In her second solo exhibition at Pablo's Birthday, Carla Gannis posts her personal "mind" reflections onto the gallery walls, and offers us, like the "drink me" bottle that jettisoned Alice into Wonderland, access into a world of nostalgic-futurist visions, pleasure-principled dystopias, and myth-based mash ups wrapped in blurred social metaphor.

In these digitally painted narratives, we find fragments, like so many tweets or Facebook "on my mind" commentaries, stirred into a cocktail of subconscious visual meanderings and hybridity. For instance, in Gannis's centerpiece, The Park, references to art history and social networks collide, in an expansive panoramic triptych that exists pictorially somewhere between a traditional watercolor and a virtual role-playing fantasy game screen.

Welcome to the massively multiplayer world of Gannis’s imagination as seen through these preludes to online networked portals. Within the limitless worlds of design and interaction, what artistic possibilities exist and what rules apply? Where does virtual meet or become real? In these social communities what danger lies on the rocks where the binary Sirens sing? Are these even "communities" or rather viral masses of self-centric individuals, each a Narcissus drowning in his or her own reflection?

BERLIN REDUX - Lost and Found

Featuring :
Jimi Billingsley,
Karsten Konrad,
Marc Lueders.

Exhibition :
June 13th – July 11th

Berlin Redux is an exhibition about old things and places of Berlin that have been revisited by the participating artists, then transformed, re-contextualized and reconfigured.
The distinct aura of entropy that suffuses the materials and subjects: the disintegrating murals of the Berlin wall (Lueders), the defunct and over grown amusements of Treptow’s Spree Park (Billingsley), and the discarded refuse and furniture of the Berlin streets (Konrad); evokes the passage of time. Each artist takes something that’s time has passed, and conjures a vital reality from it, simultaneously rooted in history, and all together new. The contrast of old and new in this recycling process conveys an emotional substantiveness to the viewer, and while the works of these artists intrinsically celebrate the weight of time, their vibrancy and inventiveness refreshingly lighten the effect.

DRAWINGS: Mattia Barbieri, Sebastiaan Bremer, Carla Gannis, Frank Gerritz, Eckart Hahn, Karoly Keseru, Martin Kippenberger, Ernst Kirchner, Kristian Kozul, Elena Monzu, Mariana Palma, Michael Rees, Winston Roeth, Jim Shaw, Mika Yokobori, & Dan Zeller


Exhibition: 02/21/2009 - 04/08/2009

Spanning time, genre, and nationality DRAWINGS endeavors to celebrate the act of drawing itself and its continued breath and diversity. For example, master works by German artists Ernest Ludwig Kirchner and Martin Kippenberger are juxtaposed with the youthfully exuberant digital rendering of Italian artist Mattia Barbieri. From the organic and obsessive drawings of Sebastiaan Bremer, Dan Zeller, and Mika Yokobori and the minimal and rigorous geometry of Frank Gerritz, Winston Roeth, and Karoly Keresu; to the gestural figuration of Elena Monzo and the provocative narrative works of Carla Gannis, Jim Shaw, and Kristian Kozul, this exhibition includes significant gems across the spectrum.

LIFE IS REAL
by Paul Haworth

Opening Reception : Saturday, January 17th, 6-9pm



Exhibition: 01/02/2009 - 02/18/2009

This exhibition features oil paintings by this fast-rising British artist. Haworth’s idiosyncratic paintings suggest fragmented narratives that draw from his personal life and the culture at large. He creates tribute paintings about figures such as: Freddie Mercury, Donald Judd, and Cat Stevens. These raw, beautiful, and sometimes unruly paintings, are imbued with fragmented stories of youth, desire, music, and melancholy.

FACE THE FLAMES
Artist: Eckart Hahn
Opening Oct. 31, 6-9 pm



Exhibition: 10/31/2008 - 12/20/2008

The new paintings by this young emerging German painter have a distinct magic realism style. Hahn is widely exhibited in Europe, where his paintings are likened to Magritte's for their symbolist themes and illusionism. These are sensuous paintings that propose the viewer question how one draws meaning from figuration. Hahn's authentic looking realism, in tandem with unrealistic subjects, brings a heightened awareness to the question of what the meaning might be, without unsealing the hermetic narratives with in.
