The Upstate New York Olympics: Tim Davis  

and Thick and Thin: Ken Landauer and Julianne Swartz

Combining his ongoing interests in performance, photography, sculpture, and poetry, Tim Davis has developed a series of video and installation works and objects entitled The Upstate New York Olympics. By turns uncanny, bold, ridiculous, illegal, and downright dangerous, Davis' "events" document, and powerfully comment on, the artist's concerns with the fundamentals of performance art, personal expression, regionalism, and the risks and rewards of the creative life.  

Ken Landauer and Julianne Swartz, independent artists and a married couple, have produced distinct bodies of work that complement one another in process, form, and effect but have never before exhibited or made work together. Landauer's drawings and objects play with scale and humor to provoke realizations about our expectations about representation and abstraction. Swartz's sculptures, installations, and architectural interventions shift our perceptions of space, form, and light.
