Pat Place
Skies: 2008-2014
Opening reception: Friday, March 28, 2014 from 6-8 pm
March 28 - May 4, 2014
GALLERY HOURS
Wed - Sun // 11AM-6PM
Jane Kim and 33 Orchard are pleased to present Skies: 2008-2014, an exhibition of recent work by Pat Place.
The opening reception is Friday, March 28th from 6 to 8 pm and the show
will be on view until May 4, 2014. Place’s body of work is comprised of
groupings from a personal archive of thousands of iPhone photographs of
the sky. The colored lines of both the clouds and sky are used in the
same manner as expressionist brushstrokes, creating flow and movement
within the grid-like patterns of the work. Themes of impermanence and
time within the pieces are made visible, while the compositions echo the
sky’s constant change.
Pat
Place, primarily known for her contributions to music and the New York
No Wave scene, graduated from Northern Illinois University, IL with a
BFA in Painting & Sculpture. Place moved to New York in 1975 and was
a founding member and guitarist of The Contortions and Bush Tetras,
whom she continues to tour with. Place has been showing her visual art
in New York galleries since 1977.
Her
work has been included in the recent group exhibitions at AI Earthling
Gallery, Woodstock, New York (2013), Harper’s Bookstore, East Hampton,
New York (2012), Julie Keyes Art Projects, New York (2011), and ILLE
Arts, Amagansett, New York (2012). Her last one-person exhibition of
photographs “The End, 1981 - Infinity” (2008) was at Jane Kim/Thrust
Projects, NY. Place, who was born in Chicago in 1953, currently resides
in New York and continues to work on her art and music.
