Project 4 is pleased to present My Kind of Magic, a group exhibition curated by Brooklyn-based painter, Beau Chamberlain exploring the varying studio rituals and techniques utilized by ten artists from New York, Washington, DC and Toronto. My Kind of Magic will feature works by Patrick Berran, Beau Chamberlain, Jay Davis, Jackie Gendel, Todd Knopke, Dave McDermott, Danielle Mysliwiec, Anders Oinonen, Graham Parks and Tamara Zahaykevich.

Employing unique methodical techniques not always evident to the viewer, these artists create intricate details, dark expanses and discrete narratives. My Kind of Magic investigates these diverse practices; the intentional and accidental results that occur as artists attempt to manipulate their materials and an artwork develops from concept to finished piece. Happy accidents, mistaken drips and the play between chance and intent are explored and celebrated in this exciting collection of works.

Concrete Abstract:
Seth Adelsberger, Lisa Dillin, Jeremy Flick, Steven Frost, Sue Johnson, Becca Kallem, Patrick McDonough, Danielle Mysliwiec and Matthew Smith
March 1 – April 20, 2013
Opening Reception: Friday, March 1, 2013, 6-8pm

Heiner Contemporary is pleased to announce Concrete Abstract, a group exhibition curated by Matthew Smith that explores the confluence of abstraction with the everyday, featuring work by Seth Adelsberger, Lisa Dillin, Jeremy Flick, Steven Frost, Sue Johnson, Becca Kallem, Patrick McDonough, Danielle Mysliwiec, and Matthew Smith. The works in the show cultivate a non-representational visual language that emerges from familiar ready-made objects, whether these objects are found or alluded to compositionally. Their formal and functional properties provide the contextual framework for works that are ultimately understood visually via their entanglement with abstraction, even as they remain securely tethered to the real, concrete world.
