It's the last week to see Organized Chaos and On the Way to Abstraction in the gallery. Swing by before the shows come down Sunday evening. If you missed last week's talk with the artists on view this month, grab some refreshments and watch at your convenience. Moderator and gallery artist Karen Gibbons digs deep into each artist's process and the ideas behind the work.

After studying with photographers Aaron Siskind and Arthur Siegel at Harvard, David Stock exhibited his work at the Panopticon Gallery and the Fogg Museum in the 1970s. In addition, Stock was a member of the prestigious Polaroid Photographers Program and Collection. After moving to Los Angeles in 1980, Stock exhibited at the California Museum of Photography, the Santa Monica Museum of Art, the Long Beach Museum of Art, the Palos Verdes Art Center, the Kerckhoff Gallery at UCLA, and the Angels Gate Cultural Center, among many other spaces. He has also shown his photography at Blue Sky Gallery in Portland, the Colorado Photographic Arts Center, and at museums and galleries in Denmark, Brazil, and Mexico. Stock’s images have been widely published as magazine portfolios and covers in both print and online media.

A long time labor and political activist as well as an artist, Stock lives in Jackson Heights, Queens.

IN THE PROJECT SPACE
On the Way to Abstraction

Leigh Blanchard  -  Amanda Michele Brown  -  Robin Roi

On the Way to Abstraction is a group show contrasting the work of three artists, Leigh Blanchard, Amanda Michele Brown and Robin Roi. Each artist uses their own distinctive process to examine how formal visual means can be used to translate aspects of our lived experiences. Abstraction can be the result of a broad array of inspirations, but whether the image is derived from completely subjective sources or had its origins in realism, it is the choices made through the creative process that give it meaning.
