September 11-October 6, 2010

Kavachnina Contemporary, formerly Art Rouge, is opening the art season with two solo exhibitions. “Possession” by Scott Ashley and “Gang for 4″ by Pedro Vizcaíno are on view from September 11 through October 6. Both of these exhibitions, in very different ways, discuss how the human spirit persists, even when surrounded by the traps and foibles of our current world, by making physical the irrepressible, innate desire for adventure.

One of the main pieces in Scott Ashley’s “Possession” is Talent Possessed. The piece consists of white neon, a white amplifier, and a white guitar and case. The premise: A voodoo priest bestowed the electric guitar with a soul. Concerned with the contemporary obsession with celebrity and the commodification of spirit, Talent Possessed questions whether talent is a natural thing or can be manufactured and purchased. The piece, as well as the other pieces in the exhibition, addresses the manufacturing of aspirations and the sale of the equipment “necessary” to fulfill these dreams.

In “Gang for 4″ Pedro Vizcaíno utilizes drawing, collage, and painting to animate vehicles, guns, lightbulbs, and stars, endowing them with animal and human attributes. The resulting cyborgian depictions are sometimes funny but more often are lurid images of power gone awry. Vizcaíno draws on the traditions of action painting, cartoon, and street art. The goal: a pointed depiction of a world teetering on the precipice of collapse.
