“These paintings are based off of interests and ideals clashing. Disagreements are had and quarrels begin over different colored hats and how outsiders don’t understand but cope with these events. Some violence may happen, but that’s the way it goes.”
– Jeff McMillan

Commenting on the tribalistic tendency found in modern societies, Jeff McMillan presents his audience with boldly painted yet minimalist graphic imagery mixed with humor. Highly rendered characters engage in stories of both inclusion and exclusion, amid secrecy, while set against sparse backdrops. The simplicity of the spaces these figures inhabit draws the viewer into their mysterious tales.

Rock posters, album art, comics, music, comedy and cartoons influence Jeff McMillan. With inspirations like Frank Kozik, Robert Williams and Phil Hale, and Robert Crumb, McMillan pays close attention to the drawing and execution of his work. The juxtaposition of a rendered painting with subtle humor as a subject fascinates him most. His work has been widely exhibited and featured in various publications. Jeff lives and work in Los Angeles – he’s a painter, teacher and illustrator.

” Some Dispute Over the Color of Hats, and How Outsiders Cope,” paintings by Jeff McMillan, runs June 9 through July 14, 2007 at Fuse Gallery, 93 2nd Ave (between 5th & 6th Sts, 2nd Ave stop on the F), NYC, NY. The opening reception, on Saturday, June 9th, from 7 to 10 pm, is free and open to the public.

Pictured above: Bear 36, 16 x 20 inch chromogenic print, 2006.

Foley Gallery is pleased to announce Bears, an exhibition of photographs by New York-based artist Kent Rogowski.

In this body of work Rogowski presents a delicate and sensational series of teddy bear portraits. The bears appear different than ordinary stuffed animals. They have been turned inside out, re-stuffed and sewn back together, transforming them, creating entirely new creatures. The result of this enabled metamorphosis is a new kind of bear, sometimes grotesque or pathetic but often rather endearing. These new emblems no longer sustain the perfect image of childhood, but break apart this image into a complex picture of youth and development.
Photographed on a stark white background, the bears are removed from any relevant or meaningful context. They are placed in an environment where they appear as specimens to be studied, separate from any memories a viewer may associate from their own teddy bear experience. The neutral setting emphasizes comparisons between the bears. The revelations of the bears’ innards are strong analogies of how people may differ from the inside out.
Rogowski’s interpretation of this childhood staple raises questions about childhood security. A stuffed animal’s pleasant and cuddly outward appearance may mask or misrepresent what is happening inside. More literally, a happy outside may be hiding the inner drama of a child. This symbol of childhood comfort has, by way of Rogowski’s process, been altered and skewed.
Kent Rogowski received his MFA in Photography from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. He has received many awards, including the Center Award from the Center of Photographic Art, and was selected as a finalist for the Calumet/Friends of Photography Emerging Artist Award and the Nerve.com.
Foley Gallery is open Tuesday – Friday, 11am – 6pm. For more information or for images, please contact the gallery by phone or e-mail. Work from the exhibition are available to view on the website in the Artists section.

The video-container presents an interactive video programm of innovative young video art, with a focus on the latest video works by Johanna Domke, Marzia Migliora, Eske Schlüters, Mark Raidpere, Ene-Liis Semper, Nadja Verena Marcin and Nikolaj Recke.

Eric Eley outdoor sculpture „Infinite Orange“
For the Volta outdoor/ sculpture project we have selected a site specific sculpture next to the bar by the American artist Eric Eley. His sculpture is a crisp line in space that, at a distance, resembles a chart or graph on its broad sides and is meandering and fluid in profile. The line defines space in a way that is simultaneously organic and mathematical, shifting with perspective, creating a space of ambiguous clarity amongst the organized chaos of an industrial landscape.

See you at VOLTAshow 03.
