O NATURALE

In the near future, the experts say we're going to have to return to an economic model based on local suppliers. Rising fuel prices and the end of cheap overseas labor will one day force us to grow our own food and make our own shoes. What's going to happen when this is no longer a pricier option, but the only option?

The existing landscape is marked by irreverence brought on by a couple hundred years of mass production and the spread of globalism. Perhaps these things have kept us from seeing the broken washing machine in our own backyards. Some of the detritus of the soon-to-be past will make excellent fertilizer for the homegrown vegetables of the future; And some of it will kill you.

O Naturale, accentuates the tense dual folly between machinated minimalism and the rhizomatic tangle of the past. The reconciliation of this nostalgic regret brings forth a new sense of self-aware, ironic wonder, which is still irrefutably genuine.

O Naturale is group show co-curated by Simone Frazier and Emily Steinfeld. Opening in NYC, May 22nd 2008, 7-9pm

-the gallery is open by appointment Tuesday through Friday (May 26th-30th).

The child within the adult unravelling through the unconsciousness is the theme in Molly Gochman's exhibition entitled Lullabies.

Lullabies is the looking back at childhood through the sobering eyes of the adult that is transfixed with emotion of growingolder. yet still feeling the same spiritually as a child.

These feelings create dichotomies withtn the individual of inner and outer conflict, young and old presence of being. as weIl as change and stagnation with life itself.

Ms. Gochman through her photographic images of fabric, objects, writing, and self depicts cycles of creation and destruction. One of her main objectives is to give the viewer a sense of refiecton of oneself and the quietness and stillness within each of us.

The work is beautifully created on watercolor paper that resembles timeless layers of life itself unravelling through the meaning af one's very own existence.

Ms. Gochman agrees with Gaston Bachelarrl, that the subconscious is ceaselessly murmuring and the listening to these munnurs that one hears the truth.
