New York-based Jil Weinstock’s minimalist, feminist-influenced cast rubber pieces echo the texture, folds and ephemerality of clothing.  Working to exploit fundamental flaws in the logic of fashion, her cast media—often collaged with women’s vintage garments—explore substantiality and insubstantiality.  Weinstock’s translucent, brightly hued dresses, stretched skin-like over light boxes, and her linear rows of slick, cast rubber men’s shirts seem a comment on consumer choice and retail display.

Represented by Charles Cowles Gallery, New York, Jil Weinstock has exhibited at Catharine Clark Gallery, San Francisco; Caren Golden Fine Art, New York; The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT; and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco.

Gary Nickard and Reinhard Reitzenstein work collaboratively to make manifest the philosophy, artistry and alchemy of the sciences.  Scientists’ blackboard notations and whirring, buzzing, flickering lab experiments are considered objects for artistic, poetic re-description.  Nickard and Reitzenstein employ working equipment such as a linear electron accelerator, a cosmic ray spark chamber and a radio telescope in their most recently completed installation, Pluto’s Cave (2006).  Recognizing that science is fundamentally a means of making, of visualization, Nickard and Reizenstein who typically team with academy-based scientists, attempt to make the unknown visible.

Gary Nickard and Reinhard Reitzenstein are faculty members in the Department of Visual Studies and Department of Art at the University of Buffalo.  Together, Nickard and Retizenstein have exhibited at CEPA Gallery, Buffalo, NY; SPACES, Cleveland, OH; New Jersey City University Art Gallery, Jersey City, NJ; and Big Orbit Gallery, Buffalo, NY. 

Based in Red Hook, NY, photographer Jeff Brouws has documented the American vernacular landscape for the past twenty years.  A self-styled visual anthropologist, Brouws examines the growth and construction, entropy and decay of man-made landscapes including strip malls, big box stores, parking lots, gas stations, motels, abandoned, rust-belt industries and blighted urban neighborhoods. 

Brouws has published and co-published several books, including most recently, Approaching Nowhere (New York: W. W. Norton, 2006).  He is represented by Robert Mann Gallery, New York; Craig Krull Gallery, Santa Monica, CA; Robert Klein Gallery, Boston, MA; and Robert Koch Gallery; San Francisco, CA. Brouws’s work is represented in the collections of San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Princeton University Art Museums, Princeton, NJ; The Whitney MusTTimelkdum of American Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA.

A Professor of Art at The Ohio State University, Mary Jo Bole has long studied the  commemoration of death.  Her intuitive, sociological inquiry includes the salvage, collection, appropriation and meticulous fabrication of mortuary-like motifs, epitaphs and ephemera.  In addition to her drawings and artist books, Bole’s sculptural and  installation works include media such as bronze, iron, porcelain, ceramic tile and resin.
