The Third Culture- New works by Piotr Chizinski
September1-September 30 2011
Belmont University- Nashville, TN.
Gallery 121 in the Leu Center for Visual Arts
Reception: Thursday, September 1 from 4:00-6:00pm
Piotr Chizinski’s current work investigates the underlying misconceptions associated with classism in the United States. In The Living Room Scale Project, and his Centre for Calculation, Chizinski utilizes sociological research methodologies to investigate cultural and technological artifacts, reconfiguring them to expose the viewer to new ways of understanding. The ultimate goal of the work is to make the viewer comfortable enough with certain information to utilize principles of logic and reason to evaluate its validity.
Culture Laboratory: "Response" a Collaboration with Noah Simblist
August 6th to September 10th 2011
Box 13 Artspace :: Houston, TX
“I am writing this (self reflexive) sentence but it is writing you.”
Exhibition format: “Response” is part of an ongoing series of exhibitions where Culture Laboratory invites an outside party to propose a theme in the form of a 12 word sentence. A word is designated for each artist in Culture Lab. The gallery will be set up to be read in a linear format following the sentence structure. Each artist will be given 4 feet of horizontal space in which to ‘consider’ their word. In this exhibit our sentence is contributed by Noah Simblist, Texas based artist, writer, curator and Assoc. Prof. at SMU, Dallas.
