Christian Nicolay "Project Flyleaf"
April 12th to April 26th, 2007
Opening Reception Thursday April 12th, 7 to 9 pm.

Nicolay's art is about paying attention to systematic confusion. Everything around us can be understood through systems of chaos. Nicolay constructs chaos. Making sense out of random chaos may seem absurd. Reality is itself absurd.

"Searching for a Better World"

April 28th to May 10th, 2007
Opening Reception Saturday April 28th, 1 to 4 pm.

"Skoracki's art is admittedly caustic satire, but closer to Pantagruelism - the Rabelaisian philosophy of dealing with serious matters in a spirit of broad and somewhat cynical good humor".

Steve Mennie
"The View from Here: Mapping the Road to Nowhere"

May 12th to May 24th, 2007
Opening Reception Friday May 12th, 7 to 9 pm during POSH, a ticketed event..

In a time of relentless and near-hysterical "doing" I think of my artistic practice in terms of Heidegger's "being-in-the-world" and the resulting works as, to quote Mark Kingwell, "slabs of existence". These slabs are not pieces of equipment subordinate to the concept of "usefulness" but are instead openings or spaces in which we are called to remember what it means to be.
