Wennie Huang: Installations and Collaborations

Wennie Huang's recent installation at G owanus Studio Space :

Wennie has been collaborating with Brooklyn poet, Ed Go. They produce one or two new images weekly:

The medium varies week to week, but usually for the drawings by Wennie, it's graphite or red colored pencil while Ed usually uses the inkjet printer - but Wennie also uses a printer for some images as well. While Ed's part of the collaboration is typically text-based, and Wennie's tends to me more about the image, the collaborators go back and forth sometimes. The size is 8 x 8 inches on either stonehenge drawing paper, or watercolor paper, or sometimes even just printer paper.

Bernard Williams in Remix

Bernard Williams speaks about his artwork in the Remix exhibition @ AGO at the Musee des beaux-arts de l’Ontario.

Bernard William’s installation “Buffalo Chart” combines popular and cultural iconography in the form of individual black cut outs resembling silhouettes. Together the work presents a pictographic alternative interpretation of the history of America. A variation of "Buffalo Chart" was exhibited at Slate Gallery in "Nighty-Nite," his first solo show in New York City. Recently, a variation of Buffalo Chart was exhibited in REMIX: New Modernities in a Post Indian World, at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in New York, and at the Musee des beaux-arts de l’Ontario.

John Kindness @ 'Source' Library and Arts Centre

'Herakles and the Stymphalian Birds' piece was commissioned for the 'Source' library and Arts Centre in Co. Tipperary, Ireland. In the launch shot, John is on the right with two Irish writers, Dennis O'Driscoll, centre and Ciaran Carson, left. 'Source' is a new building by award winning architects McCullough Mulvin. The piece is a reworking of the Herakles painting showed at Slate Gallery. Both works are based on an attic vase painting of Herakles and the Stymphalian Birds. This time the birds form a brief history of writing from cuneiform to offset litho. It is more to do with the appearance and technology of the texts rather than their literary content. Herakles is again made up from the detritus of a contemporary fly tipping site. He is the denizen of a sort of D.I.Y. heaven, a book-free domestic bliss.

'Herakles and the Stymphalian Birds', enamel paint, oil and gold leaf on zinc.
