Ghosts of a Dream<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cOur sculpture and installations embody the essence of opulence while being constructed of materials that typically end up in the trash.\u00a0 We mine popular culture searching for discarded materials that people use trying to reach their goals.\u00a0 Whether it is a romance novel someone reads to transport them into a dream reality, a religious track promising the glory of eternal life, or a lottery ticket that gives the possibility of a future full of rich decadence; we use these remnants to re-create people\u2019s dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cynthia Connolly<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cAn alumna of the Corcoran School of Art (now the Corcoran\u00a0College of Art\u00a0+ Design), Connolly documented Washington\u2019s legendary punk rock scene from the 1980s into the 1990s, making portraits of its most committed participants and producing the photography book\u00a0Banned in DC. More recently, Connolly has directed her lens toward commercial displays and details of vernacular architecture, particularly elements of our surroundings in transition or facing obsolescence. Much of this work draws on traditions established by photographer Walker Evans and California artist Ed Ruscha, both important inspirations for the artist. Connolly\u2019s series “Letters on Top of Buildings” is rooted in childhood memories of riding in the backseat of her mother\u2019s car, with a view across the building tops from Los Angeles\u2019s elevated freeways. These typographic signs, which advertise resident businesses, seem like relics of a bygone era, exemplars of a more colloquial period of commercial marketing and civic pride. The twelve photographs that comprise “Letters on Top of Buildings” are a promised gift to the Corcoran\u2019s collection.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kaysa Johnson<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cKysa Johnson\u2019s paintings combine the traditions of landscape, still-life and battlefield paintings with a detailed look at the pollutants, pathogens, and pharmaceutical cures for disease in our culture.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tim Kent<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cBorn in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1975 of a Turkish father and English mother, Tim Kent has been a New Yorker since 1990. The shifting cultural voices of his childhood contributed a resonant respect for tradition, but also instigated an impish imagination to skew the traditions it honors. Kent\u2019s paintings often directly reference historical artworks, in dialogue with his favorite influences. Introducing actual historical paintings and sculptures, or altered versions, into his paintings offers a play within a play in Kent\u2019s own work. This conversation highlights the aesthetic context of his work with the goal of engaging the spectator\u2019s own imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
