MINTY NICHOLAS BUFFON BEN HORNS MEGAN MARRIN CASSIE RAIHL MATT SAVITSKY CURATED BY EBONY L. HAYNES June 27 - August 2, 2013 Reception: Thursday, June 27, 6- 8PM Performance: 7PM Minty is a color and taste and smell and the sickest band in the world. It is the visceral ingredient for this group exhibition. It feels soft and loose around the edges. It isn‚t rigid. It escapes its own form, and there‚s something alienating about it. At its best, it is a heraldic device for the show. Working from a disquieted place, Minty is a struggle to connect with people: like Ben Horns‚ Thomas paintings, which are devoted to a constant revival of the fantasy of someone and their presence. Minty is a thorny negotiation of what is public and private: like Megan Marrin‚s fusing of personal and everyday objects, bound by the fragility of images and materials. It is a lengthy humiliation: as felt in Matt Savitsky‚s documentation and ephemera of transforming and performing gender. It is a constant negotiation of limits: like Nicholas Buffon‚s continual build up and break down of materials, and his pleasure in testing his audience. And Minty is rid of idols but not completely void of fetishes: Cassie Raihl‚s assemblages use latex, rubber, and flesh tones to construct familiar objects with familiar, but sometimes chagrin subject matter. The artists reflect what‚s at stake in both the process of making and the presentation of art. As an avenue for the distribution of ideas, Minty starts with a sense of anxiety that conjures forms and transforms performance. From these articulations, it then returns to a sense of anxiety.
