If you’re in NYC next Saturday, be sure check out the show at Booklyn:Hunter/Gatherer July 9 - August, 7, 2011. Opening reception July 9, 2011; 7 - 10pm.  The Booklyn Art Gallery is pleased to present Hunter/Gatherer, featuring works by Evan Robarts, Jason Kachadourian, Jessica Williams, Jon Bocksel and Scott Meyers. Hunter/Gatherer includes artists with the common practice of borrowing both aesthetic inspirations and found objects from their local surroundings. These artists accumulate visual, physical, and conceptual source material from everyday encounters and observations. They manipulate materials and appropriate techniques from discarded objects, sign-painting and murals, printed ephemera, and urban architecture. While each artist has their own unique approach to collecting and manipulating, their work evokes similar appreciations for the found and overlooked. With their work combined, Hunter/Gatherer creates a personal map of the city they share and the scenery they encounter. The viewer is confronted by these recognizable, yet often ignored images and encouraged to take a second look when walking down the street. — A full set of Jessica Williams’ Zine Subscription will be on view plus original small drawings and collages used to make them. Thanks to the wonderful Aimee Lusty for including us! Above image by Jon Bocksel.
