ANTENNA Pop Druid Pop Druid, includes a feature film and an eclectic mix of painting, sculpture, video, and photography. The gallery work critiques the artistic traditions of pop, minimalism, expressionism and conceptualism while exploring a range of subjects from Jackson Pollock’s grave, to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, to the ancient art of rock stacking, to Pop Tarts. These elements trace a circuitous through-line that indirectly, and sometimes directly, relates to the film, titled Unloosened and Root. The film is both documentary and narrative fiction, and alternates between scenes shot in pre-Katrina New Orleans during Mardi Gras and a haunted campground in upstate New York. It is an elegiac film that eulogizes the death of the artist’s mother by enlarging her death through allegory. This is done partially by focusing on the unusual funerary ceremony conceived by New Orleanian Robin who died of cancer at the early age of 32. She too was a mother, and Dixon documents as her family and friends execute her final wishes, creating an uncanny artistic collaboration between the living and the dead. Premiered at MoMA in 2005, this will be the first public screening in New Orleans: Antenna, Sunday March 15th at 7:30 PM. David Dixon grew up in North Carolina but has been living and working in New York City since 1989. In those years he has exhibited, performed and/or screened his work in venues including The Kitchen, Saint Marks Church, Galapagos, Monkey Town, Momenta Arts, Postmasters and the Museum of Modern Art. He is currently enrolled at Cornell University as an MFA candidate. Opening Reception: March 14, 2009, 6-9 pm |

Rachel Jones: empty ciphers This exhibition will feature artwork by New Orleans resident Rachel Jones. On display will be a collection of new paintings, specifically designed for the exhibition space. Ralph Bourque & Pal Shazar "My drawings are done with ink on watercolor paper. I often combine the images with embossed messages into the paper in an effort to temper the sentiment with sarcasm." Singer/songwriter and visual artist, Pal Shazar, “My paintings are oil on canvas. My work is figurative. I use only primary colors and mix my own. My inspiration comes from nature, films, and other painters.” NEW YORK BASED, SHAZAR WILL BE PERFORMING AT THE FRONT ON SATURDAY, MARCH 15th AT 8PM! Heidi Cody & Stephanie Patton Heidi Cody explores the bewildering range of tactics marketers use to bait consumers. She will show her high gloss American Alphabet signs, which needle the flash and jazz of corporate marketing, and Spokescritter Hats, sculptures based on famous food mascots. Patton’s multi-media work addresses issues of emotion, relationships and attempted stability. Opening Reception: Saturday March 15th, 6-10pm |
