"Odie Rynell Cash: A Shift in the Fabric"
2005-04-22 until 2005-05-14
Polvo Art Studio
Chicago, IL,
USA United States of America
At Polvo, Odie Rynell Cash will show selections from
a new body of work in an exhibition
titled ‘a shift in the fabric'. Cash
installs objects, drawings, videos and
digital images questioning recent
conventional thinking of national
surroundings and ideas about
reformulation, the use of religion,
patriotism and "assisted" selfimprovement.
The basic concept for the
exhibit is the relationship between
personal ideas/beliefs and social
standards in addition to questioning
current experiences at face value as out
of the ordinary circumstances in the
context of the everyday.
Odie Rynell Cash (b. 1969/Detroit) works
in the mediums of video, digital
imagery, installation/interventions,
collecting/drawing and actions in
public. His work is concerned with a
variety of issues from the political to
the mundane, simplicity, repetition and
anticipation. His 2005 schedule includes
a 3 week performance residency with
Skaftfell Arts Center, Seyoisfjörour,
Iceland (Aug.) and a four (4) week
residency with Factor44, Antwerp,
Belgium, (Sept). Previously he has been
included in international exhibitions
such as Co-ordinates of the
Supersensible at High Street Projects
(New Zealand), Text Associations (solo)
Factor44 (Antwerp, Belgium),
eKsperim[E]nto Film and Video Festival,
(Manila, Philippines), kaBOOM, The
Museum of New Art (Detroit), The Drawing
Show, UnitB Gallery (Chicago) and was
selected for the 2004-2006 Drawing
Centers Viewing Program (New York). Cash
is also an independent curator of work
dealing with social issues and/or the
examination of experimental practices.
Along with this show, Detroit artist
DECAY will do a mini-exhibit and the
Society for the Representation of
Society will do a mini-installation.
