WE ARE HOSTING A FOOD DRIVE TO BETTER SERVE ARTISTS! Unlike non-profit residency programs that charge artists to participate, EAST/WEST does NOT charge artists any fees. Beyond sponsoring a living space and exhibition gallery for participants, EAST/WEST is now going the extra mile and fundraising to purchase food for the entire residency program as well. A $13 donation goes far in good hands and feeds up to 10 dinner...We are well on the way to hitting our goal in pledges and have special rewards to those who donate online: READ MORE OR DONATE. |
Special Thanks to Miya Ando, Stumptown, Foxfire Tea & Kickstarter. |

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: In July of '05, Mark Andreas premiered at Dam, Stuhltrager Gallery and was immediately retained for a show at the CAC in North Adams, MA. Since then, Andreas has exhibited in Chicago, Hamptons, Newark, Miami and Brooklyn... Not merely once- but twice in each city. Fresh back from rave reviews in Istanbul last November, Andreas kickstarted '08 with simultaneous shows in Chattanooga and Newark. This April, Andreas makes his NYC debut. Dam, Stuhltrager is proud to partner with Leo Kesting to bring the brightest Brooklyn stars to NYC. Three sculptures from Andreas "Reactive Sculpture Series" are ready for action in Manhattan: AVIAN RESERVOIR (2007) In Andreas' first wall installation, majestic wood wings are propelled into downward strokes. Referencing movement of a large powerful bird, the sculpture is triggered into motion by loss of water. From within the winged body mounted to the wall, a defined amount of water slowly drips out. Removing the water's weight lifts the reservoir thus lowering the wings. The dripping among a quiet, serene environment creates an echo familiar to a leaky faucet. In an environment flooded with noise of busy lives, water falling becomes indistinguishable among white noise. "'Avian Reservoir' conceptually speaks to the repercussions of water depletion as a priceless natural, global resource." - MA CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM (2007) Ignited by the artist for an audience, Conservation Of Momentum's demure composure depends on the existence of fuel in a chamber. Aware of sculpture's dependancy on a finite fuel source, viewers await the impending transformation once the oil supply vanishes. The latent energy stored in the body of the piece deploys the sculpture’s cloak, ultimately shrouding and veiling its delicate allure with a luscious red cloak. "We are all subtly aware of a latent power and potentiality underlying a society almost wholly dependent on fuel." - MA SEED SPREADER (2005) In a laborious performance the towering, 400lb Seed Spreader is assembled and wound. Andreas builds tension to a climax, then replaces his physical energy/force by inserting a twig into the sculpture. The twig fends off releasing under pressure until snapping. The twig succumbs to its strenuous environment, activating the sculpture to jump in the air, spin 3ft blades and shoot grass seeds which grow. "Seed Spreader conceptually speaks to the lack of control consumers have over food production. It physically mimics techniques employed by media and politicians to draw audiences by the use of fear and intimidation."- MA Borrowing from extensive experience as a metalsmith and ship builder, Andreas' art has informed technical skill/physical craftsmanship. It is only after seeing the young artist perform with his sculpture that one realizes this work was created by a man who just entered his thirties. Catch Andreas' live performances at the opening reception- he is headed to Basel before you can say "I saw him when..." Also Exhibiting at Leo Kesting/ NYC: BRIAN LEO |

For Immediate Release: When the going is great at home, relocating just doesn’t make sense... Expansion does.

Here are just some of the places Dam, Stuhltrager Gallery will move and shake in the coming months... Frankfurt/Germany (Gallery Exhibit), North Adams/Massachusetts (Institution Exhibit), Hamptons/New York (Fair), Indianapolis/Indiana (Museum Exhibit), Madrid/Spain (Cultural Exchange sponsored by Spanish Government), Boston/Massachusetts (Institution Exhibit), Newark/New Jersey (Public Art Project), London/England (Fair), Breta/Netherlands (Institution Exhibit), Miami/Florida (Fair), Istanbul/Turkey (Museum & Fair), Tallahassee, Florida (Museum Exhibit), Louisville/Kentucky (Museum Exhibit), New York City/New York (Museum Exhibit), Wiesbaden/Germany (Institution Exhibit)
Not to be outdone abroad- Dam, Stuhltrager's fall/winter lineup in Brooklyn brings home solo exhibits from favorites Loren Munk, Ruth Marshall and Mark Esper... In October: Consult Munk's map paintings to trace where art's been, at and going. While making connections through history, become an immortalized part of the present by adding yourself to the record then and there. In November: Catch Marshall's complete collection of handknit coral snake skins (all 66 species found on earth) and the viper tapestry that launched her into the world of textiles. In January: After three sprawling simultaneous solo exhibits at three Williamsburg galleries in '05, Esper breaks new ground by becoming the first artist to fill all three of Dam, Stuhltrager's galleries. 2007 Marks the "Year of Esper".
