Opening reception for Had: Thursday, June 12, 6 - 9 pm
Opening reception for Between Two States: Thursdau, July 10, 6 - 9 pm
The artists in Between Two States, who live literally in two different states - Pennsylvania and New York - produce works that inhabit the spaces between interpretive binaries. In Trenton Duerksen's sculptures, functional objects are interpreted for their abstract qualities; they vaciliate between permanence and imperpanence, the symbolic and the everyday. Ryan McCartney's paintings also rest within a continuum of values; their intentions as "analogs" place them between image and physical document, abstract and concrete.
Ryan McCartney lives and works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He holds a BFA from The Cooper Union and an MFA from Tyler School of Art. His work has been exhibited in group exhibitions at Thomas Erben Gallery, New York, Fleisher/Ollman Gallery, Philadelphia, and Vox Populi Gallery, Philadelphia.
