culturshoc: Short Surveys | Noelle Wharton-Ayer
Inspired by our often-anxious relationships with nature, the work featured in Short Surveys stands as a testament to our innate desires to examine and catalogue our natural environments. Large paper-based works tap into fragmented encounters with a space and our effort to set up shelter…

Orphans Offered Up
February 4-March 6,
547 W. 27th St, 5th Floor (suite 500)
Hrs: 1-6 pm
NY, NY 10001
Opening Feb. 4 6-8 pm
What will you offer?
Participation Installation Project
“But, art as a practical precedent is forever young and physically here with us. Works of art, as theoretical constructs, hold their place in a field of knowledge. As historical artifacts, they speak of ancestry and parental origins. As practical precedents, works of art are orphans, ready to be adopted, nurtured and groomed to the needs to any astonishing new circumstances.”—Dave Hickey, “Orphans,” Art in America, January 2009
Orphans Offered Up is participation installation in a space that was formerly an art gallery that is now empty.
Orphans that I’m offering up are a series of conceptual oil paintings that are very small, 4” x 4”, and intimate. They are fragments that appear to be abstractions. They are offered up in several different ways.
Offer is defined as: act of worship or devotion: sacrifice; to present for acceptance or rejection; to propose or suggest; to try or begin to resist; to threaten; to make available; to present in performance or exhibition; to propose as payment; to make an attempt; to present itself; to make a proposal.
What will you offer me? Offers will be document accepted. Some will be accepted. Suggestions: Stocks, bonds, a house, another painting, a manuscript, or something else? Something that is much less tangible? What are you willing to sacrifice? If you insistent on money, then the price will be determined by random walk, and that price will be a number between one and five hundred, that will be generated randomly by RANDOM.ORG, Trinity College. They provide a “random number service that generates randomness via atmospheric noise.”
The inspirational sources for the paintings are the invisible engraving marks found in old postage stamps that belonged to my late father. These painting were first started in 2002. They are not studies. They are not miniatures. They are finished paintings. I have completed more than fifty.
Or simply suggest a name. Come by and post it during the exhibition. Names maybe also submitted by email. Peter Selz has already done just that.
I would like to thank the Pinetree Group for the offer of the space for this project.

The Inexpressible
OCCCA, Orange County Center for Contemporary Art presents
The Inexpressible
Artists: Dalibor Polivka, Rob Mintz, Guillemette Buffault, Chau Thuy
April 3- May 1, 2010
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 3-2010, 5:00-11:00PM
at Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, 117 North Sycamore, Santa Ana, CA 92701
; 714.667.1517, www.occca.org
Inexpressible is an exhibition of works by the important French contemporary artist Guillemette Buffault, orchestrated in space brought to life by the graphic and installation interventions of Dalibor Polivka, with wall texts by Rob Mintz presented by master Vietnamese calligrapher Chau Thuy. In a spiritually-charged atmosphere, gallery-goers will discover the inexpressible within themselves. This exhibit seeks insight into the nature of a mysterious, shared universe described by mystics, philosophers and physicists. A creative alliance between artists from different countries, it will be a model of contemporary practice, a hybrid with exalted aims.
Dali Polivka
No form an artist might use is equal to the unbounded void where the phantoms of memory arise. To represent the absolute in a manner that does not instantly betray its transcendental meaning is the challenge that motivates Dalibor Polivka. The beauty and depth of the historic cultural traditions of his native Slovakia inform a restless pursuit of the underpinnings of perception, across contemporary disciplines, in painting, sculpture, installation, performance, digital imaging and graphic design.
Rob Mintz
Rob Mintz’s writings are influenced by the history of the avant-garde in all its manifestations. Evolving spontaneously and organically with a series of decisions that embellish or obliterate each line, they exude subjectivity, authenticity, anxiety, and the drift of autonomous introspection, the philosopher’s first step.
Guillemette Buffault
The “fold” (le pli) is the structure at the center of Guillemette Buffault’s research, taking form in paper, cloth, metal, sheets of lead, woven polyester, graphite, bronze, and glass, depicted in prints, or captured in photographs. The fold is both an object and a means of investigation. In her hands it becomes paradoxical, material and immaterial simultaneously. The fold is a connective discontinuity. When multiplied, its implications become metaphysical. Like apparitions, Buffault’s art oscillates between the opaque and the transparent.
Châu Thuy
Inspired by the Vietnamese calligraphic tradition, Châu Thuy’s popular and widely-exhibited work incorporates stylized figurative elements to symbolically express personal, historical and spiritual themes.
