• KANSAS: Streamlines

    Date posted: July 27, 2012 Author: jolanta

    KANSAS is pleased to present Streamlines, a group exhibition of new works by Ryan Lauderdale, Owen Kydd, Ignacio Torres, Chloe Wessner, Constant Dullaart, Andrew Pomykalski, Juliette Bonneviot, Ann Hirsch, Kevin Kelly, Aude Pariset, Artie Vierkant, Jared Madere, and Sarah Faux. Graphic design by Calvin Waterman. These artists are working towards a negation of cultural ephemera into slowed down tactile pursuits that can remain both resolute and disparaging as future cultural currency.

    “The new works featured in Streamlines respond to the growing need to preserve and validate image making in contemporary existence.”

    KANSAS GALLERY: STREAMLINES

    KANSAS is pleased to present Streamlines, a group exhibition of new works by Ryan Lauderdale, Owen Kydd, Ignacio Torres, Chloe Wessner, Constant Dullaart, Andrew Pomykalski, Juliette Bonneviot, Ann Hirsch, Kevin Kelly, Aude Pariset, Artie Vierkant, Jared Madere, and Sarah Faux.

    In concurrent realities, images, and information have evolved from the Google image search to our mainstream sub-conscious consumption. Thereby leaving many artists to excavate and cull from these visual arenas. Are these investigations cyclically involved with the state of history in our time? Time capsules.

    The new works featured in Streamlines respond to the growing need to preserve and validate image making in contemporary existence. Acting in collaboration and response between observation and products, these artists provide careful reflection on the use-value and emotive qualities of images that transpire and unravel each day in visual stimuli.

    These artists are working towards a negation of cultural ephemera into slowed down tactile pursuits that can remain both resolute and disparaging as future cultural currency. These new paradigms will affect the progressive trends of societies’ desire–responding to developing techno-biological symbiosis and the relationship with our- future-selves.
