Jil Weinstock, Group Portrait, 2007-08, rubber, vintage
clothing
Jil Weinstock’s minimalist, feminist-influenced cast rubber pieces echo the folds, color and ephemerality of clothing. Exploiting fundamental flaws in the logic of fashion, Weinstock's works, often collaged with women’s vintage garments, explore the substantiality and insubstantiality of dress. The artist's translucent, brightly-hued fabric and dresses stretched over light boxes, and her linear shelves of slick, men’s work shirts seem, in part, a comment on retail display and consumer choice.
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.

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.

October 2-November 1, 2008
Artist talk: Thursday, October 16, 7:30 pm
Olin Auditorium
Reception follows in the gallery
Based in Cincinnati, Tim McMichael’s works explore the human constructs of mapping and the natural systems and structures of ecology, geography, biology and fossils. McMichael creates delicate drawings and prints, dimensionally layered with resins of varying opacity. He finds commonality in the honeycomb structures of nature and systems of global geographies. The artist combines traditional tools of drawing such as ink and gouache with volcanic ash and resin to achieve depth and plasticity.
Tim McMichael has exhibited at Clay Street Press, Cincinnati, OH; Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnati, OH; and at Alice F. & Harris K. Weston Art Gallery, Cincinnati, OH.
