Distance and intimacy offer a range of perspectives toward viewing a work of art. Many times proposed intimacy can invite an uncomfortable response of distance from one party or another not wanting the responsibility intimacy needs. The works in this exhibition on one level or another engages distance and intimacy, while occasionally embodying both. In all of these works distance is what we have when we come to the work, intimacy is what we give to it by participating in it and internalizing it. All of this takes place in space, through the eyes, and in the mind.
The artists in this show deploy their visions within this field and bring to it a range of ideas about perception, meaning, content and form. This diversity is intended as is a challenge to a superficial grouping of appearances. ~M.M.

Like the Spice Gallery Presents:
Jason Bryant and David Mramor
featuring new work and new performance art!
Come join us on February 12th for this fantastic 2nd Friday event. Really, we’ll have everything. Upstairs you’ll be enjoying the work of Bennett Morris, the artist behind our current show, Climate Untamed. Take moment to mingle and check out the mix of painting, sculpture and photography that each of Bennett’s pieces has to offer.
Then it’s a short walk downstairs to see the new work of Jason Bryant. We’ve given you a taste of the new piece above, but we’re keeping the whole thing a secret you’ll have to discover in person. You’ll also get a chance to say hi to Jason in person, and maybe ask a few questions about his piece. And… dare we say it? Well, no, we don’t dare. We can’t commit to it just yet, but maybe, just maybe, we’ll have an extra surprise waiting for you as well…
But don’t think that’s all you’ll be getting. Upstairs, you’ll be able to enjoy perfomance art from Enid Allen, the alter-ego of artist David Mramor. Enid’s joined us once before (click here to check out our blog post about it) and it really brought the house down. If you were a fan of David’s recent show, you’ve got to be here.
