Curated by Subtext Projects

23 July – 06 August, 2009
Reception: July 24, 2009 7:30-8pm
Film screening & discussion : July 25, 2:30pm

The final Window Space project this summer has been organized by Subtext Projects, a group of young artists, curators, and writers based in the Metroplex.
Unable to physically enter the gallery space during the run of the exhibition, the viewer will experience a truncated view similar to a storefront window display. This type of viewing raises questions regarding the ubiquity of an often half-alert audience and speaks to the deeply ambivalent reality of commercial display.

Avish Khebrehzadeh: Solace, So Old, So New
August – October 2009

Avish Khebrehzadeh work most often takes the form of drawings, paintings and animation that are suggestive of otherworldly narratives. An extended cast of protagonists populates the work; both human figures and animals are seen engaged in the fanciful and the mundane. Khebrehzadeh is Iranian and moved to Rome, Italy to study and is now living and working in Washington D.C., USA. She has had recent solo exhibitions at Albion Gallery, New York (2008); MACRO, Museum of Contemporary Art, Rome, Italy (2007); Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Providence (2006). In 2003 Khebrehzadeh was the recipient of a Leone d’oro at the 50th Venice Biennale.
