Unveiling paintings this special spans two continents: Oct 10- Nov 10: Loren Munk in MADRID Oct 13-Nov 13: Loren Munk in BROOKLYN |
(Williamsburg, Brooklyn) Dam, Stuhltrager Gallery is bracing itself for an exhibition of historic proportions that invites the greater New York art world to be an active participant in recording itself. ABOUT THE PAINTINGS: Loren Munk's "Map Paintings" are unmistakably the inheritor of painstaking research, insider information, enormous ambition, insightful wit and a highly developed hand/eye. Names, dates, places and time lines form visual commentaries that surpass recording a moment to connect eras, movements and generations. ABOUT THE PROJECT: Loren Munk's paintings serve as a record of New York's contemporary art world and it's powerful lineage, tracing neighborhoods, trends, trend setters and transitions of the past 50 years of Art History. Now Munk sets his sights on being the first to historically document the thickly condensed and unwieldy plethora of the emerging and emerged Art of Williamsburg. An intrinsic component of Munk's upcoming exhibit is a 8 ft by 12 ft triptych depicting Williamsburg's topography. Presented in the gallery as "a work in progress" this Map Painting will not be finished by the artist's brush but by it's own subject, Williamsburg itself, throughout the exhibit. Williamsburg's artists, gallerists, critics and collectors are all encouraged to leave their mark in history. Equal parts performance, participatory art and documentary- the artist allows viewers to go on the record with a snapshot and ribbon. More about Loren Munk:
