‘FLASH FLOOD – JIM MANGAN & PETER SUTHERLAND’
\nOCT 3 – OCT 17, 2014
\nMUDDGUTS<\/a> – 41 MONTROSE AVE, BROOKLYN, N.Y.<\/p>\n

this was a seriously awesome, and moving . . show.
\nso I’m putting up the pix right now, before they fall thru the cracks.<\/p>\n

ERIK DEN BREEJEN paints a mural at ATLANTIC RECORDS – is up next.
\nDEATH BY ART, and . . 170 SUFFOLK will follow & we’ll leave the CAB\/BROOKLYN COMICS ART FEST coverage for a little later – just in time to sync with, brighten & lighten the lead-in to the xmas holidays. time passes so quickly once you hit October, and then the summer is up and over and . . it’s Christmas ?!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJULIAN GILBERT was handling the gallery the day I dropped by – Julian has a B.F.A. in Photography from SVA, class of 2009. he’s also a native New Yorker – having grown up on the east side of Manhattan, around 14th St. and trust me – that counts for a LOT !!<\/p>\n

behind him is a large piece by PETER SUTHERLAND, ‘Seen, Not Heard’, 2014.
\nwood\/vinyl, 4 ft. x 6 ft.
\n($9,000)<\/p>\n

this was a nice lead-in piece to the show, silent – but immense in emotion, beautifully proportioned. speaking to the vast desert, and the ever-shifting, but also cohesive – infinite nano particles that compose it. a footprint, looking like concrete, and looking like sand shifting before your very gaze – a classic image – re-formatted.
\nspeaking to deep friendships, passage of time, and finally . . to making – ‘your mark’. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nyes, that’s an ASGER CARLSEN t-shirt, Julian is wearing.<\/p>\n

and, follow some of this: ASGER CARLSEN GOOGLE SEARCH<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nactually, JULIAN GILBERT . . has a pretty amazing website, himself !!
\nthat logo\/banner: ‘dumbluck’ is . . a riot, and a great VISUAL.
\nlike we like to say around here: indie NYC . . rules.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nbut, back to the show !!<\/p>\n

JIM MANGAN, ‘Untitled (#23)’, 2014.
\nink jet print, 50 in. x 33 in.
\n($1,800)
\n(11 in. x 17 in. edition of 3 – $500 ea.)
\n(24 in. x 16 in. edition of 2 – $900 ea.) <\/p>\n

it’s exciting to see shows at MUDDGUTS, not only because they are so on the edge, but because the place itself – has a great hardcore, from-the-streets up . . vibe. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthe desert, it’s loneliness, mystery.
\nJIM MANGAN also captures in exquisite compositions – it’s profound capacity for graphic . . tracery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nin the face of amazement at how pink things were – out there, I forgot to ask: what is this ?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJIM MANGAN, ‘Untitled (#21)’, 2014.
\nink jet print, 60 in. x 40 in.
\n($2,500)
\n(11 in. x 17 in. edition of 3 – $500)
\n(24 in . x 16 in. edition of 2 – $900)<\/p>\n

this photo – had a more literal snippet of a narrative, a red truck or monster SUV pulling a huge RV – and flying down the road, snow banks adding to the horizontal, never-ending journey . . . <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJULIAN turned me on to the pretty obvious – JUM MANGAN likes to get to the tallest point around in any particular location and zero in, I get that.
\nI like doing that to the art I see, bringing up the details, the nano-world. ‘scale’ – is just so much of the – the real deal \/ total picture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nhe must use a very high definition large format camera, most definite on tripod.
\nthe pixel-ation up close – is intense. very very ‘active’, most def adds to the ‘unseen’ or ‘hidden’ emotionalism of the pieces – for sure.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJIM MANGAN, ‘Untitled (#20)’, 2014.
\nink jet print, 45 in. x 32 in.
\n($1,800)
\n(11 in. x 17 in. edition of 3 – $500)
\n(24 in. x 16 in. edition of 2 – $900)<\/p>\n

nature-made, not – man-made.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthis desert \/ world . . has so much pink in it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

JIM MANGAN and PETER SUTHERLAND turn out to be close friends, who met in college. as the gallery notes: their works “celebrate a shared affinity for nature, particularly the mountainous regions of UTAH and COLORADO.” but, while JIM MANGAN remains Utah-based, with a very nomadic lifestyle, PETER SUTHERLAND lives and works here in NYC. but he’s also known to be very ‘nomadic’, in that he travels, and documents those travels, a lot – as well.
\naccording to the Muddguts notes . . Peter Sutherland is also known as The Aging Skater, The Prophet Dube, Tree Beard, and best of all . . Prince Peh Peh !! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPETER SUTHERLAND had a huge, and very real ‘crystal’ on display, wonderfully imbedded with a man-made element \/ i.e. the human touch. the colors and details of this giant ‘translucent’ rock crystal – beautifully echoed that previous photograph by JIM MANGAN. <\/p>\n

I can’t give you very much more info on it, as it’s not included on the gallery works list – except to say: it was sold immediately . . during the opening.
\ncollectors of cutting edge art, take note, you just<\/strong> can’t blink. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\na dissected crystal, that’s so metaphorically . . un-bound, organic, lush. almost porn – in it’s sensuousness. in contrast to . . it’s cold hard surface.
\nesp when one considers – a man-made ‘boundary’ runs through it.
\nin that, it very much echoes those photograph landscapes of JIM’S: I was . . here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPETER SUTHERLAND’S . . wall.
\nalthough known mostly as a photographer and filmmaker, in fact Peter SUTHERLAND had more ‘objects’ in the show than . . photographs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthis is one of 2 vertical displays of . . hand-painted, silver reflective paint, ‘mud flaps’ – by PETER SUTHERLAND.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPETER SUTHERLAND, ‘Back Off’, 2014.
\nmud flap, with reflective silver paint, 17 in. x 20 in.
\n($300\/pair)<\/p>\n

$300 – for the PAIR, unique images . . on heavy-duty rubber ????<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

count me . . in !!!
\nI bought this set, on the spot.<\/p>\n

PETER SUTHERLAND, ‘Fuck Fear’, 2014.
\nmud flap, 17 in. x 20 in.
\n(SOLD – $300\/pair)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nand my ‘friend’ who came with me to see the show, bought this set !!
\nafter I bought mine, and I got so<\/strong> jealous – because then I noted her’s actually had “Peter Sutherland” inscribed around the lower right half of the ‘sun’.
\ndamn, there is NO winning – even when you’re winning !!
\nfuck it – I still like MY ‘face in a truck-box’ – !!
\nit’s those sad sack – carton eyes . . that got to me.
\nand, come-on . . muddguts – mud flaps, hysterical funny, or what !!!!!!<\/p>\n

PETER SUTHERLAND, ‘Keep On Truckin!’, 2014.
\nmud flap, 17 in. x 20 in.
\n(SOLD – $300\/pair)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI would have bought this one, too – but I was tapped out.<\/p>\n

PETER SUTHERLAND, ‘E-Z Trip’, 2014.
\nmud flap, 17 in. x 20 in.
\n($300\/pair)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJIM MANGAN, ‘DISC’, 2014.
\naluminum\/stickers
\n($1,500)<\/p>\n

Actually JIM also had some non-photographs in the show, he had some really colorful vintage aluminum snow discs, or one-person ‘sleds’ hanging from the gallery ceiling. they were covered in what I’m assuming were the vintage stickers, that the original ‘kid’ owner had put on them. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthese were essentially very scary fast, one man sleds, that you hopped onto and held onto for dear life, as you went spinning, and hurtling – down the snowy slopes.
\nwe used to do that a lot when I was a kid growing up, in Montreal. we used to head up Mt. Royal, in 3 or 4 layers of clothing – you know, that big mountain in the center of the city, and how we survived, I do not know. there were trees and brushes. no supervision, and everywhere – dare devil kids speeding by – right on course to hit you. man, you had to be . . quick. it was friggin steep, and icy !! you had to, literally – rock and roll your way out of danger, on those discs – as you hung onto those small leather straps, with your double layers of snow-encrusted, icy frozen mittens.<\/p>\n

I bet they don’t let the kids do that – anymore !!<\/p>\n
