HANNAH LEVY - Basic Essentials


HANNAH LEVY
Basic Essentials
March 22 - April 5, 2015
Opening Sunday March 22, 6-8pm
At Allen & Eldridge

A man in khakis sits in a waiting room on a pleather couch, his skin bridges the pantone gap between the color of his pants and his soft seat. It's very hot. Although he is waiting, he is excited. It's very exciting to sit on a seat with the texture of cow skin, the tone of human skin, and the softness of another body. His sweaty arms make a noise as they slowly detach from the pleather. He wonders if there is a sweat stain on his pants; it would match the love seat by the door.

Levy describes her work as existing in a kind of design purgatory. The design strategies of impossibly curved and leaning signage are pushed to a point of humor. Ergonomic purpose is suggested, but the forms and materials indicate some anemic quality. They are medical, but they are also patients. They are exercise equipment, but they are weak. There is a focus on the body through a synthetisized contemporary understanding of the care of the self; ergonomic forms created to fill bodily cavities become their own pulsating bodies.The rubber used is that of prosthetic limbs and Hollywood horror films, the vinyl is the imitation flesh of inflatable sex toys, the carpet synthetic fur. Cat furniture looks like cat fur; human furniture looks like human skin. These synthetic materials embrace the clammy reality of ultra-sleek surfaces. A sweaty hand squeaks as it moves across a plexiglas surface, revealing the material stickiness of the ultra-clean. The work is quietly kinky in the way that the khakis and beiges of business casual are flesh toned.

Hannah Levy (b. 1991) is an American artist living in Frankfurt. She attends the Staedelschule where she holds a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). In 2013, she graduated from Cornell University with a BFA and was awarded the Distinguished Achievement Award. This is her first exhibition in New York.

ZUR Insel beim LICHTER Filmfest Frankfurt Main**

Premiere
(SPIELFILM, D 2014, OV, DAUER: 30 MIN.)

Zur Insel ist ein Reisefilm. Viola ist die Reisende, nur, dass ihre Reise eigentlich noch nicht begonnen hat. Sie hat einen Job in der Gaststätte „Zur Insel” am Molenkopf des Frankfurter Osthafens angenommen. Kein schlechter Ort, denn von hier aus kann man auf Containerschiffen anheuern. Aber wann wird Viola endlich losfahren? In dieser selten gefilmten Industriekulisse zeigt Christin Berg, dass eine Reise stets im Inneren beginnt.

Sandra Kranich / Ausstellung und Katalog



Sandra Kranich
Short Ride in a Fast Machine
Verlag für Moderne Kunst

Licht und Feuer sind wichtige Gestaltungsmittel der Objekte, Skulpturen und Reliefs von Sandra Kranich (geboren 1971). Die ausgebildete Pyrotechnikerin versieht ihre minimalistisch anmutenden Aluminiumkonstruktionen mit komplexen pyrotechnischen Vorrichtungen, die als integraler Bestandteil des Schaffensprozesses konzipiert sind. Durch das Abbrennen des Feuerwerks durchlaufen die Arbeiten unterschiedliche Metamorphosen des Bildwerdens – von der zweidimensionalen Zeichnung zur flüchtigen Lichtkomposition im Raum zum „verschmauchten" informellen Gemälde. So referieren Kranichs Arbeiten einen Werkbegriff, in dem Konstruktion und Destruktion, Kontrolle und Zufall aufs Engste miteinander verbunden sind.

God Only Knows
Brandon Cramm 

"I stopped about six feet from the creature and he didn't look as bad close up as he did at a distance. His eyes seemed to be kind and gentle and his funny face, as it was, had a sort of peacefulness about it. But even so, you can't always tell.

We stood there looking at one another. The both of us understood there was no use talking. We just stood and sized one another up.

Then the creature took a couple of steps and reached out a hand that was more like a claw than a hand. He took my hand in his and tugged for me to come.

There were just two things to do - either snatch my hand away or go.
I went." - Cilfford D Simak
