Things were delayed a bit, but the blog is back up and running. DCAC welcomes the seven new member artists of Sparkplug: Rob Chester, Chajana DenHarder, Todd Gardner, Joseph Hale, Chandi Kelley, Matthew Smith, and Dafna Steinberg. Blair Murphy is the lone member of Sparkplug F1 that will continue in the new iteration of the group, and she is most certainly welcome back.
To introduce the new members, DCAC presented Facts and Fiction, which closed last Sunday July 18. Thanks to those of you that came out for the opening reception on June 18 and for the artist talk on July 11. Below is the press release for the show:
Sparkplug Presents
Facts and Fictions
June 18 - July 18
Opening Reception: June 18, 7-9pm
Artists Talk: July 11, 5pm
Curated by Blair Murphy
Featuring work by Rob Chester, Chajana denHarder, Todd Gardner, Joseph Hale, Chandi Kelley, Matt Smith and Dafna Steinberg
Featuring work by the seven new members of DCAC's Sparkplug artist collective, Facts and Fictions highlights the tension between the real and the constructed, between the production of elaborate fictions and the documentation of a seemingly concrete reality. Working in painting, photography and mixed media, the artists in the exhibition blur the boundaries between documentation and creation. Fictional narratives and imagined characters inhabit fantastical worlds that nonetheless speak to everyday experiences and anxieties. In other instances, work created with an eye towards everyday human experience transforms otherwise ordinary moments into unfamiliar and surprising visions.
