Human Resources

Artist Curated Projects is pleased to present the work of Tony Payne and Suzanne Wright. Each artists' work is inherently concerned with the body though their approach to the subject is vastly different.
Using text, Tony Payne’s work explores both the actual letterforms and their various levels of context - the text / image is rendered in a painterly fashion - using hand made materials (pigment) with elements directly related to the body (it's host, the interior), saliva, blood, semen. Words (often parts of lyrics, found text or elements of the artist's dreams) subconsciously emerge to become subjects. The letters somehow both stand for, and come from the body, mirroring the struggles (the elation, the power) within.

mal-dis-tri-bu-tion

n. Faulty distribution or apportionment, as of resources, over an area or among a group. Maldistribution is a term generally applied to economic disparity: It most often refers to

the inequal distribution of resources or capital.

It is a term that also suggests ‘bad’ distribution- a common complaint of producers of cultural artifacts: records, films, mass-produced objects. In this context, it refers to a lack of wide commercial availability of a specific product, usually through the fault of the distributor. Maldistribution has poor consequences for mass-produced objects and good consequences for their opposite in the realm of distribution: objects of art.

What we wear is often shorthand for who we are, or who we want to be. The codified manner in which we dress signals positions of power through public and private spheres, specifically the public notions of meaning and private hierarchal structures of inclusion and exclusion. Fascination with cultural identity is both the means and the end: fashion, like art, engages a public desiring insight on culture from seeing itself reflected back on a critical, yet consumable scale.

Opening Night & Reception, September 18th With performance/discussion by Cake and Eat It at 8:00pm Closing September 30th, till late Gallery Hours: Wednesday-Sunday, 1pm - 9pm Cake and Eat It will spend as […]

The work in L​et it Yellow is process driven - performances build objects creating a syntax as gestures break down their materiality, starting the process over again. Art objects exist equally as both a means of representing the present and a remnant of the past, both combined to reflect upon the future.

An exhibition of new work by Sabrina Chou consisting of backdrops, equipment, furnishings, and clothing. The exhibition proposes an ambiguity around these objects, and how they might oscillate between aesthetic proposition, functional use, and absurd adaptation.

"I'd just like to point out that if anybody cares to look at the video evidence, at no point was my bare backside revealed.
