Mr. Rea's works are evocative and rational responses to history. Constructed from untreated wood and memory, they invoke one simple axiomatic truth, Fictions or established hearsay allow for flawed interpretations that lead to flawed results. Michael Rea creates something short of that outcome, the idea of an object that remains a dream. His temporal works are humane in scale acquiring their patinas naturally, through interaction, by touch. Offering simultaneity, they are a service to what could be and what never will.

We are open to the public on Saturdays from noon until 6pm or by appointment
to make an appointment please call 312.421.1917

CLOSING THIS SATURDAY Geoffrey Todd Smith @ BSD Butcher Shop Dogmatic


Dates:
Sat Mar 11, 2006 00:00 - Mon Mar 06, 2006

CLOSING THIS SATURDAY MARCH 11TH FROM NOON TO 6 PM

Geoffrey Todd Smith
The Dynamite I Might Light

BSD Butcher Shop Dogmatic
1319 W. Lake St., 3rd Floor
Chicago, Illinois 60607

Mr. Smith's choice to work in a manner that reflects his sense of wonder in simple geometry, perspective and those elements ability to convey tangible ideas or emotions conveys a kind of visual alchemy that illuminates their simplicity with fractal awareness. His drawings are intended as a poetic response to visual culture. The work reflects an exposure to videogames, puzzles, sticker collections, hand-made Valentine's, and other bits of visual ephemera and activities from Mr. Smith's youth. The intensity of each image is heightened by the repetitious, hand-drawn hexagons that are indicators of the care, attention, and fixation common to his involvement in these youthful activities.

Brady Haston's drawings, paintings, and prints explore abstract graphic qualities of this specific urban environment. Interested in hybrid spaces, Brady's imagery is informed by hand painted signage, murals, and censored graffiti. The work in his exhibition, "Intersection" exists, the artist says, "somewhere between the realm of the abstract and the world of symbols and image." Brady's work addresses the overwhelming urban encroachment on the natural world and the endless cycle of graffiti tagging. He intends for his work to be seen as "a reprieve from the saturation of recognizable images that confront us on a daily basis."

Todd Chilton makes abstract paintings composed of simple, layered patterns that are bound by the edge of the canvas. His work is primarily concerned with line, figure/ground relationships, and compressed space. The images convey both ambiguity and subtle humor, and Todd's interest in both visual resistance and openness creates a tension in his work. The way these particular paintings activate the architecture of the surrounding spaces allows for a unique viewing experience.

Brady Haston + Todd Chilton @ Contemporary Art Workshop

Founded in 1949 by John Kearney, Leon Golub, Cosmo Campoli and Ray Fink, the Contemporary Art Workshop is one of the oldest artist-run alternative spaces in the country.
