2 X 3 X 10: MARSHA COTTRELL, MATT HARLE, JAMES SHEEHAN
an exhibition organized by Charles Goldman.

A reception will take place on Saturday, May 23, 2009, from 6 to 9 p.m.
And the exhibition will be on display through Sunday, June 21st, 2009.

2 X 3 X 10: MARSHA COTTRELL, MATT HARLE, JAMES SHEEHAN, examines two works made ten years apart by each of these three mid-career artists.
“Marsha, Matt and James are some of the first people I met when I moved to New York over 10 years ago. There’s something about "intimacy" in this show -- it exists between these artists and within (and between) their works. The work suggests a language just beyond the viewer’s reach. One that is simultaneously infinite and intimate in scope and one that continues to resonate.”–Charles Goldman



Marsha Cottrell has exhibited solo in New York and Paris and been included in group exhibitions at the Tang Teaching Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art at Altria, and the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art. Cottrell has received awards from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, the N. Y. Foundation for the Arts, and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.

Undead in the Night, Jillian Mcdonald

Undead in the Night May 28 - 30, 9pm to 1am.
Malmö, Sweden
*Already sold out!*

The performance Undead in the Night is a collaboration between Jillian Mcdonald (New York) and Lilith Performance Studio in Malmö, Sweden that involves over 100 actors, out in the forest in the middle of the night. The artist places two undead creatures (hideous Zombies and stunning Vampires) in the same scenes with their victims, violating the codes and boundaries of the horror genre, and creating an impossible scenario. The observer becomes a visitor in a living horror movie. Starting at twilight a bus transfers the audience 8 people at a time to an undisclosed forest location. Following a path in the dark various scenes come alive along a 3 km long horror path.
