Jillan Valpy
Friday, August 13th, 7:00–11:00 pm
Open stage, music, and refreshments.
One night only in the gallery. On the Balcony from August 13 to September 13, 2010.
This one evening exhibition will feature work of conventional wisdom and odd materials to construct unique 2- and 3-dimensional rubber painting and sculpture installations. Imagine swimming through a painted rubber sculpture on The Balcony Gallery that spills over into the Xchanges Gallery to find what is there?
Jillan’s use of recycled rubber concepts alludes to the gluttonous waste of the oil industry. We are surrounded by oil-based products which appear around us everywhere and in everything. This exhibition pokes fun at the absurdity and abundance of this rubber waste by constructing innovative rubber art and interactive environments out of this highly viable and perfectly reusable material.
