The Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery is pleased to present #BWGSummer, a
group exhibition featuring highlights from the gallery's collection.
Incorporating photography, sculpture, drawing, and new media, the show
celebrates the diversity of our artists, while examining the interplay
between these different mediums. From David Opdyke's microscopic
machinations on daily waste, to Edward Burtynsky's massive scenes of
industrial might, each work evokes an aesthetic urgency and shared sense
of global connectivity.
Edward Burtynsky is renowned for his
large-format color photographs that document humanity's impact upon the
earth, revealing scenes of powerful beauty and surreal devastation. He
has work in the collections of over fifty major museums around the
world, and has received many honors, including the TED Prize.
Ingo
Günther repurposes globes to "map" and craft visual narratives. Each
sphere depicts geo-political data, visualizing social trends and
infrastructure which span international borders.
Ola Kolehmainen
questions our built environment by photographing architecture in its
purest forms, rendering it in abstract fields of pattern, light, and
space. He does not manipulate the images, although their mesmerizing
colors and repetitions often evoke a digital aesthetic.
David
Opdyke takes a critical look at the decay in our political and social
systems, capturing the tipping point between coherence and chaos. His
intricately crafted sculpture and ink drawings are darkly humorous looks
at a overdeveloped and upended world.
Alan Rath is known for
creating robotic hybrids which fuse the animate with the inanimate. His
machines blink, wink, and "watch" us, creating unexpected scenarios that
question human beings' autonomy and privacy.
