LOS ANGELES, CA.- Durden and Ray爄s presenting Intersections, an爀xhibition that explores爐he connections燽etween disparate ideas燼nd media, drawing爌arallels with society’s燼ttempt to make sense爋f the endless stream of爄mages and information.燯sing a wide array of爉edia like photography,爌ainting, drawing,爏culpture and爄nstallation, the artists in營ntersections destabilize fixed forms and ideas by reframing them to build new relationships with object and viewer.牋
Works from Intersections exhibit formal, psychological and subliminal intersections where the燽rush marks, images, objects or iconography collide, slowing down time while highlighting their燿ifferences. Curtis Stage’s photographs of overlooked Los Angeles architecture fluctuate between clear recognition and the abstract predictability of a city landscape, while Jenny燞ager’s paintings create a prolonged visual experience that explores the tension between the爀xplicable and the inexplicable, the familiar and unfamiliar of pattern and brush stroke. Gul燙agin’s paintings traverse the visual codes of representation to negate the effects of collapse燼nd media streaming by highlighting visible and invisible aspects of the signs, while David燬panbock’s paintings and sculptures celebrate the fragmentation of what is seen and unseen in a dance between pattern and randomness.
Reacting to the changing cultural realm of overwhelming image circulation, works from Intersections illuminate a new kind of “Society of the Spectacle” where there is no time to爌rocess the 24-hour cycle of streaming images and ideas. Intersections posits the viewer to爎ethink our relationship with the objects that influence our lives.
