Triangle Arts Association, in partnership with FUTURA, is pleased to annouce an Open Studios evening reception for resident artists Štefan Papčo and Laura Pawela.
Triangle Studios: 20 Jay Street 3rd Floor, Suite 350 Brooklyn NY 11201, 6-8pm.
Štefan Papčo, Restless Souls 7+, 2009, 540x330x160 cm, plywood, site-specific installation
Laura Pawella, Project in Utopia (Ohio) and Jones Beach, NY , 2011 ("Bloodbuzz Ohio")
Štefan Papčo’s sculptural spatial experiments investigate land as a bearer of potential to describe long-term development of a society bound to a specific place. He recently won Best Open Studio as well as the Grand Prize during the DUMBO Arts Festival in September 2011.
The work of Laura Pawela explores reality filtered through the imagination. Pawela first observes her surroundings and then overlays all of the absurdities, interesting phenomena, social habits or phobias that she discovers. Her work encompasses installation, video, sculpture, photography, and drawing.
Triangle’s Fall 2011 Resident Artists also include Stephanie Beck, Astrid Busch, Mathilde Delahaye, Sabine Meier, and Myriam Mechita.
Triangle Arts Association is a non-profit arts organization committed to supporting emerging and midcareer international visual artists. Founded in 1982 by the British sculptor Sir Anthony Caro, Triangle aims to encourage dialogue and experimentation through workshops, residencies and exhibition opportunities. Triangle’s partnership with FUTURA brings four European artists each year for three-month residencies in the Triangle studios.
Eyes Wide Shut: Contemporary Drawings from Germany
Nowhere is the artist as naked as when it comes to drawing by hand. This exhibition highlights artists whose artistic perception emerges from within, working almost as if the eyelids were closed, accessing an enormous potential bank of imagery.
Ongoing until October 22
