Surface to Air, 2006

Opening reception tonight at small A projects that will include a *nightviewing* at 8:30p of Diana Puntar’s show “An Hour On The Sun”. Her work is described as “forms (that) draw equally from the slick high modernist ideals of IKEA and pseudo-organic forms that reference logs, fire, and stones. Utilizing materials ubiquitous to design and construction: laminates, mirrors, fluorescent and phosphorescent pigments; Puntar’s work underscores our cultural obsessions with surface, our willing acceptance of synthetic and disposable surrogates, and our general proclivities for bright and shiny objects.“

From what I gather the *nightviewing* at 8:30 is not to be missed. I hate to give this away but Laurel has the best openings and shows in the city. But for your sake and for hers, you should go.

I rarely get too excited before an opening but Laurel, Jen and many others have been talking about this to me for some time.... and I think they might be right this time. Has Laurel been reading Dave Hickey again?... except there is more of a 60-70's sci-fi film aspect here....

Bones, Spock, get me a tri-corder reading! (sometimes... and only sometimes is space camp a good thing)
