WYNNE GREENWOOD �Face It� February 2 � March 8, 2008 Reception: Saturday, February 2, 6 - 8 pm (* exhibition images 7 - 12 )
Susanne Vielmetter Projects in pleased to present new work by Wynne Greenwood in an installation entitled �Face It�. The exhibition includes sculpture and a video that are linked together in a scene. Large brightly colored plaster sculptures of heads guard an archway, the space of a personal civilization - a place where rules used to be made. The videos, partly taped with and within the installation itself, elaborate on the sculptures, articulating the pieced-together and cluttered identity of a modern instinct.
Greenwood, who is also known for her performances as the three girl band Tracy and the Plastics, has recently begun to explore the intersection between her work as performer on a stage and a wider range of expression. In an earlier project at the gallery, she activated the particular features of the gallery space through a grouping of live and recorded actions. She collaborated this fall on a performance with Nicole Eisenman, working with the relationships between narrative, performance and painting. This new exhibition combines sculptural and performative strategies to look at, in order to re-shape, the effects of hierarchical social structures within an individual's landscape of body and mind, instinct and choice.
Wynne Greenwood received her MFA in 2004 at the Milton Avery Graduate School for the Arts, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY. Her work has recently been shown in solo exhibitions, partially in collaborations with Fawn Krieger and K8 Hardy, at the Moore Space, Miami, FL; at the Hayward Gallery, London, UK; at the Frye Art Museum, Seattle, WA; at Reena Spaulings, New York; Foxy Productions, New York; and at The Kitchen, New York.

Project Space PATRICK WILSON Selections from Suite for Mount Washington: new works on paper
Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects is pleased to present new works on paper by Patrick Wilson. Presented in the exhibition are selected pieces from �Suite for Mount Washington,� which consists of 49 unique gouache prints on Rives BFK paper. Named for the Los Angeles neighborhood the artist lives in, the body of work is the result of his collaboration with master printer Christian Zickler.
The silk-screening process allowed the artist to create a complex group of interrelated paintings that expand his studio painting practice. By removing the element of physically executing the works, he was free to focus exclusively on the formal and conceptual relationships that stemmed from a simple alphabet of shapes and colors and grew into a complex visual experience. Less concerned with issues of surface and gesture, Wilson explores the relationships between color and shape in a more layered configuration where the juxtaposition of elements achieves surprising and finely syncopated color chords.
Patrick Wilson received his MFA from Claremont Graduate School. He has shown in a two-person exhibition at Claremont Graduate University Museum, Claremont, CA, and he has been included in group exhibitions at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC, the Riverside Art Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum, the Long Beach Museum, at the Mount San Antonio College, Walnut. His work is in the collections of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Long Beach Museum of Art, the SunAmerica and KB Homes Collections, Los Angeles, the Capital Group Inc., Los Angeles, the Creative Artists Agency, Los Angeles, the Progressive Corporation, Mayfield Village, and the Radio Shack Collection, Dallas, Texas.
