Triangle Alum Karlis Rekevics site specific sculpture at the Brooklyn Bridge Park (Sculpture)
Untitled, 2009, Plaster, Human scale, approx. 15 x 16 x 45 feet, Installed for Sculpture Key West 2009, Key West, Florida
Karlis Rekevics has created a temporary large-scale sculpture based on the unique urban environment of DUMBO. Rekevics is inspired by the overlooked infrastructure of the man-made landscape and translates this experience through memory and the intensely physical construction process of making molds and casting plaster. The artist seeks to make something significant about the insignificant places that we see but don’t see everyday.
Triangle Alum Eve Bailey, 56 Water Street
Eve Bailey’s performances will be:
Saturday September 24th 2-5pm
Sunday September 25th 2-5pm
French-born, NYC-based artist Eve Bailey likes to snuggle closely with the forms she creates. She designs and builds ergonomic sculptures that she uses to perform humorous body workouts and poetic balancing acts.

(Box Engraving: EIDIA House Studio 2011)
In the EIDIA House Studio, Pia Linz created the whole room drawing by sitting on a table in the center of a room, within the polyhedron structure and drawing everything in her view onto the plexi-glass sides of the polyhedron. Later, in her studio, she renders the drawing permanent by engraving the lines into the plexiglass.

‘Runaway Cape-Cart’ is an investigation in both individual and communal concepts of ‘nest/home/community’ as a temporary shelter, through a task of ‘nesting’ a mobile habitat and performing it.

Please join us Thursday, September 15 from 6-9 pm for the closing reception of between the tongue and the taste and then again on Sunday, September 18 from 12-6 pm for the soft opening of Rain Dance.
How does an artist’s mark derive its power? Using a variety of media, Eve Bailey (workshop ‘04) and Albert Pedulla (workshop ‘02) examine the relationship between body and mind from opposite ends of the spectrum.
Rain Dance, like the ritual from which it takes its name, features work that metaphorically examines the contemporary ambivalence with the state of the natural world, and considers how much control we can have over it. Additionally, the work of Nick Lamia (workshop ‘04), Jason Middlebrook and Leslie Wayne, each in their own way, investigates the universal notions of ambivalence and simultaneity.
Rain Dance will be on view next week Tuesday-Thursday and Sunday from 12-6 pm.
We will also be holding extended gallery hours during the DUMBO Arts Festival, Friday, September 23 from 6-9 pm and Saturday, September 24 from 12-8 pm with the official reception for the artists, Saturday, September 24 from 5-8 pm.

Pierogi is pleased to present an exhibition of Michael Schall’s recent works on paper. The drawings in Schall’s previous exhibition revealed the natural world and the man-made, industrial world often merging, and in some instances industry even seemingly attempting to rebuild what has been compromised. In his new works both realms have become so precariously balanced that they begin to mimic each other. A number of the drawings focus on the middle ground between these two realms, where the natural world seems so artificial, unpredictable, and reinforced, that it might be taken to be purely man made.

Rekevics (workshop alumni ‘01) will be participating in our first cultural exchange with the city of Le Havre, France. Visit Karlis’ Kickstarter page to learn about his project and how you can help him cover his expenses.
Excerpt from Kickstarter page:
For this first-ever cultural exchange, sponsored by the City of La Havre and Triangle Arts (NYC) the artist proposes to take this New York sensibility and look at a different city that is much-influenced by New York. Karlis is intrigued by the connections between the cities: the maritime history, the architectural and aesthetic characteristics that have inspired generations of artists. He is also interested looking at the differences; teasing out the urban idiosyncrasies that define a place. Through his highly developed visual language, he wants to hold a lens up to both cities and create drawings that reflect similarities and differences. The residency is from October 9-December 23, 2011.

Larry Poons is the subject of a mini-retrospective in upstate New York at the Sam & Adele Golden Gallery. Befitting a pioneer of acrylic paint, the recently opened exhibition space is on the grounds of the Golden Artist Colors paint factory complex in New Berlin, major producers of handmade and custom-designed artists’ pigments. On view through Nov. 19, “Larry Poons: Velocity”—organized by Jim Walsh, with painter Paula DeLuccia, Poons’s wife—features seven large-scale acrylic-on-canvas paintings (up to 9-by-14 feet) from the years 1975 to 2009.
