and then, there’s . . the blinding white LIGHT of a SNOW-STORM . . !!
FREDDY / a JOSH ABELOW PROJECT & CURATORIAL SPACE . .
in a old, former . . church, in UPSTATE HARRIS, NY /
PRESENTS:
IAN MILLER, ‘SNOW SHOW’ . . .
a conceptually heavy, but visually dominated – project, “that was staged on JAN 23, 2023, during a snow storm.”
“IAN MILLER (b.1995) presents a series of paintings on the exterior of FREDDY in HARRIS, NY, during a snowstorm. That this presentation has already happened & was photographed, and that the majority of us will not experience in person the cold, snowy day, is as much a part of the paintings themselves, . . as Miller pushes . . at the limits of what is reproducible . . with the assumption that any image created will . . be dominantly seen – on a screen.”

a big group show which opens today, FEB 2 & runs thru MARCH 25, 2023 — in LONDON !!
COB GALLERY, 205 ROYAL COLLEGE STREET, LONDON, UK
HRS: THURS-SAT / 12 – 6 PM
“AS light fades and the shadows deepen, all petty and exacting details vanish, everything trivial disappears, and I see things as they are in great strong masses: the buttons are lost, but the sitter remains; the sitter is lost, but the shadow remains; the shadow is lost, but the picture remains. And that, night cannot efface from the painter’s imagination.”
