SUMMARY:Jia Wang: Residual Imprint
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibition of new work by Jia Wang. Jia’s work explores the traumatic memories that are prevalent in a family. Examining and displaying how trauma is revealed through complex family relationships and how it alters an individual and a family’s identity when visualized. Her work addresses both a personal and cultural perspectives\, through site-specific installation comprised of video\, collage\, and photographic images. \nIn Jia’s work\, she exploring domestic violence and sharing her visual inquiry into trauma through personal storytelling. These stories are both past’s future and future’s past\, physically and psychologically speaking. In traditional Chinese culture\, the family is the most basic unit and many aspects of Chinese life can be tied to honoring one’s parents or ancestors. Family practices\, such as interactions between family members and disciplinary actions\, are passed down from one generation to another. Family is the most intimate relationship but also the most confusing as love and hostility can be difficult to separate. \nAbout Jia Wang:\nJia Wang was born in Lanzhou\, Gnasu Province\, China.

SUMMARY:Brick Fiction Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Artist Carrie Rubinstein will discuss her work on view in her solo exhibition\, Brick Fiction\, which runs through January 27. \nArtist Statement:\nInfluenced by the abundant brick and plaster walls of the Crosstown Concourse building in which it was conceived\, Brick Fiction consists of two freestanding wooden structures that are covered in drawings that mimic those surfaces. The walls of Crosstown Concourse reveal layers of sandblasted paint\, plaster\, brick\, and concrete from the previous century. The beauty of this raw surface inspires my sensibilities as an artist because it sparks my curiosity about the prior occupants of this place. \nBoth structures stand at 10 x 9 x 8’ tall and contain full-size doors and two windows. The viewer is invited to experience the work from its interior and perimeter. One structure features hand-drawn individual bricks for its entire exterior. Even though each structure is nine feet tall\, the overlapping placement of each interior drawing of plaster walls produces an unexpected intimacy. Other objects made entirely from hand-drawn and folded sheet paper include a ceiling that resembles wooden planks\, an electrical outlet\, and a three-dimensional fuse box with bolts and wire housing. \nRubinstein is motivated by the dichotomy of building representational space out of non-traditional construction materials. This natural tension drives her practice and she continually seeks to give it structure. Brick Fiction celebrates the renewal of an old space and its objects complement the revitalized edifice from which they are inspired. \n\nBrick Fiction is inspired by the raw beauty found in the walls of Crosstown Concourse\nAside from the wooden framework\, the objects are all hollow constructed sheet paper.\nUsing paper to represent solid construction materials is a driving force for the artist.
