Exhibition Dates: January 14 - February 25, 2007
Reception: February 11, 2007 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Gallery Talk with curator Judith Page at 2:00 p.m.
Through painting, photography, sculpture, computer graphics and video, seven artists -- Elise Engler, Susan Hamburger, Dahlia Elsayed, Chris Bors, Josh Jordan, Charley Friedman and Jim Costanzo -- give us a window into the world of their personal inventory.
Judith Page says in her essay, "Controlling one's inventory is essential". This exhibition examines the work of artists who look at inventory in terms of possessions, information, and personal emotions.
Each artist focuses on different aspects and interpretations of this theme. Elise Engler's colored pencil drawings record all of her personal effects from 1998. Susan Hamburger's small paintings of her kitchen inventory this one fragmentary slice of her world. Using predominantly text, Dahklian Elsayed's paintings make us aware of the emotional changes we may experience during major shifts in the seasons. Artist Chris Bors uses video and electronic media as his medium of choice to inventory his own personal experiences at a rock concert in 2003. Women are the subject of Josh Jordan's drawings and paintings of beautiful women he had the pleasure to draw during a brief ride on the L train. Charley Friedman symbolically equates each strand of wool to a person, and their place in the world, in the hand-made latched carpet that signifies the world political situation.
Located at the corner of Idle Hour Boulevard and Biltmore Avenue in Oakdale, The Anthony Giordano Gallery at Dowling College is dedicated to exhibiting and promoting contemporary, innovative, and experimental work by established artists, unaffiliated artists, emerging artists, and artists primarily from the New York tri-state metropolitan area. Through exhibitions and education programs, the gallery reflects, reinforces, and complements the curricular dimensions of the Visual Arts Department and addresses the cultural life and enrichment of the Dowling College community, the general public, artists, and the Oakdale community at large.
Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and Sunday 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm Admission is free. For more information, please call 631.244.3016.
