Triple
Base is pleased to announce multi-media artist Elyse Mallouk’s second solo
show
at the gallery. The exhibition, Notes for an Open Score, is an experiment
in the limits
of
sentimental expression. Using video, sculpture, text, and drawings,
Mallouk
reduces romance novels and pop love songs to their most basic elements:
words,
rhythm, tempo and intonation, so that their sentiment is made to bleed,
silent
and suspended. The works take ubiquitous ways of expressing connection —
ones
that are repeatedly claimed and dedicated on late night radio — and
directs
them instead toward elusiveness through a systematic removal of information.
A
coinciding Event Series
“Sunday
is for Lovers” will take place in the gallery November 7, 14 & 21,
2-7pm.
Live music and poetry readings will revolve around the theme of love. Poet
Tom
Comitta will curate readings by a diverse group of established and emerging
Bay
Area
poets. Featured musicians will
include:
45isdistance, The Old Thunderhearts, The Lambs, Crooked I, Small
Hands,
Creature Comforts, Marc Dantona & Friends and many more TBA.
In the
Triple
Basement, painter Peter
Scherrer (Bellingham, WA) will present a new body of paintings within
a
site-specific tent structure. Scherrer’s work relates to the history of
the
Pacific Northwest – from homesteaders, miners and loggers to music
posters,
hippies and folk
art.
Triple
Base’s Backroom
will
feature an exhibition of eye-popping new colored pencil drawings by
gallery
artist Rachel Kaye (San Francisco). Kaye’s new body of work
brings into
focus
the fashion industry’s obsession with the primitive. The artist has
culled
Missoni and Givenchy magazine ads and selected key details to render in
great
detail.
