[curatorial.net] Tomorrow:: "Skinning" art exhibition: Saturday, September 27th 7-10pm

[ab]

Dear Friends,

It would be great to see you tomorrow evening at the opening of
*Skinning*in Long Island City. There will be a tent outside the
gallery for the rain.
Members of the bands bands *Gutter & Spine* and *Easy *will be performing
and there will be snacks and drinks of all sizes.
So come out and throw some handmade coins for the I Ching, lounge on
pillows, and discuss the first Presidential election debate of 2008!

Love, Alison







*Skinning *is a time-specific art exhibition which intends to provide a
cathartic calming space within Long Island City. The title refers to the I
Ching hexagram of approaching change and revolution, as well as the current
still point of the approaching Presidential election and swelling economic,
social, and environmental pressures.

Symbolically, *Skinning *is a shapeshifter -- a bird shedding its feathers
-- a ruler can be overcome.

*Molt and revolt. *

 *Windows Gallery* will be available for you to take time out to relax and
meditate upon the liminal state created by the following artists:

 *Ryan Coleman'*s paintings blur the line between literal representation and
abstraction, flatness and depth, and cerebral and sensual gesture, while
exploring subjects and themes which deal with the human condition and
experience.

 *Betsy Heistand's* intimate and colorful paintings play with the picture
plane, inhabited by fanciful, lamenting biomorphic creatures.

*Natalia Pikula'*s installations incorporate various 2D mediums to build
structures. Her prints stride through landscapes and abstractions, as well
as danger and liberation.

 Dream upon *Michael Mahalchick's* *Silver Pillows*: Meditation center meets
the Factory.
