From ITP Alumnus, Nathaniel Stern

Several of the hand-made prints, which were produced as details and iterations from my performative digital image series “Compressionism,” will be exhibited as part of a group show at David Krut Projects in Chelsea, New York from 7 February to 16 March. More on the series and these particular works at the links provided, and info on the exhibition follows. Please make it if you can. I’ll unfortunately only be there in spirit!

Swamp Eyes

7 February – 16 March 2009

Opening: Thursday, 7 February at 6pm

A curated exhibition of works on paper that contemplate the external, natural world from a set of aesthetic dimensions.  Bringing nature and culture into alliance, these works explore the natural and cultural with wit and sensitive observation. From the raised surface of the etched line to thoughtful use of colour, the works are emphatically physical and intricate.

“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the Eyes of others only a Green thing that stands in the way. Some see Nature all ridicule and deformity, and by these I shall not regulate my proportions; and some scarce see Nature at all. But to the Eyes of the Man of Imagination, Nature is Imagination itself.” William Blake

South African and International artists exhibiting:

Ryan Arenson, Willem Boshoff, Wim Botha, Gail Behrmann, Willie Cole (US), Claire Gavronsky, William Kentridge, Alice Maher (UK), Suzanne McClelland (US), Colin Richards, Michelle Segre (US), Rose Shakinovsky, Sean Slemon, Kiki Smith (US), Nathaniel Stern, Sandile Zulu.
