In conjunction with DUMBO 1st Thursday Gallery Walk, Brooklyn based painters Erik Benson and Angelina Gualdoni will present a joint slide lecture about their work, its relationship to the legacy of modernist architecture, and its contemporary fall out. Erik Benson's large scale paintings depict the intersection of financial and commercial power of skyscrapers, big box stores, and imposing housing towers, juxtaposed with more anarchic spaces at street level. Angelina Gualdoni's work investigates the decline of knock-off modernist architecture vis-a-vis Midwestern "dead" malls, and the possibility of improvisational architecture as a model towards regenerative abstraction.
BAC programs are made possible, in part, with public funds from New York State Council on the Arts, the Brooklyn Delegations of the New York State Senate and New York State Assembly, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and New York City Council and its Brooklyn Delegation.
Erik Benson and Angelina Gualdoni are both 2008 Artist Fellowship Recipients of the New York Foundation for the Arts. This presentation is co-sponsored by Artist & Audience Exchange, a NYFA public program.
BAC Gallery participates in DUMBO 1st Thursday. Come down the first Thursday of every month for special programming and extended gallery hours!Related Categories
