The Common Mind Elinor Milchan, Christina Kruse, Tatyana Murray, Eve Bailey. June 25 - September 10 2009 Opening reception: Thursday June 25 2009 6-8pm Gallery summer hours: Monday-Friday 10am-6pm When reading over an article in Frieze magazine about the British artist Eric Bainbridge, I came upon an inspiring note that accompanied his works during a previous show: art critic and curator Greg Hilty states “We don’t all choose our neighbors but they affect us. We don’t always choose our thoughts but they also have a bearing.” The title of this text is “The Common Mind.” This equivocal notion, characteristic of our times, which claims all and avoids responsibility, operates as an entryway into the exhibition of the same title at Cueto Project NY. It encapsulates all that simultaneously links and distances the four artists who show their works in Valerie Cueto’s art gallery. Elinor Milchan, Christina Kruse, Tatyana Murray, and Eve Bailey. Their work, exhibited together for the first time, presents a great Jungian lava that fuses the collective subconscious with the personal subconscious. The product is a common spirit that embraces multiple artistic discourses and processes. Here one can say that the collective subconscious plays the role of an excuse because what stands out is what differentiates these women. In no way does the fact that they all live in New York City, that they are of the same sex and from the same generation, or that they speak the same language interfere or provoke this dialogue of creativity in a range of artistic media.

Pretty Tough: Contemporary Storytelling
June 21, 2009, to January 3, 2010. Exhibition Reception: June 21, 2009; 3 to 5 pm.
The women in this exhibition, although formally distinct, all reclaim storytelling as a strategy to address contemporary discourses on warfare, the environment, and female struggles. The artists focus on narrative representation and figuration. Their fairytale-like depictions are in reality reflections on submerged violence, played out through refined, delicate, and meticulous work. The artists look back at traditional modes of expression, such as storytelling, as well as engaging traditional or vintage techniques that require a labor—intensive process—obsessive, elaborate, yet impeccable manufacture. This highly stylized work—pretty—offers profound assessments of our contemporary world—tough—by relying on storytelling as a subversive strategy that permeates the public sphere more efficiently than confrontational discourses.
