Standstill Exhibition runs till January 31!
ART IN THE AGE
Standstill
Ends January 31, 2010!
116 N 3rd St
Philadelphia, PA 19106
For those unable to attend last month’s First Friday show, you still have another month to view current work by Beth Beverly and Ole Bye until the end of January. This exhibition unites two artists who bring forth a mindful stare into nature, distilled by way of preservation, addressing its vitality and the imminent change toward material culture.
Beth Beverly, a local artist and Junior Taxidermist, creates whimsical sculptures using mounted animals with found objects. Materials such as pearls and discarded jewelry are paired with textures of soft furs and feathers, evoking a new kind of beauty reminiscent of luxury and pleasure.
Ole Bye, a resident of rural West Virginia, recreates historical landscapes in three-dimensional custom models within the confines of a glass bottle as a means to prolong its current state of decay. Inspired by the coalfields of West Virginia, he relies on historical photographs to assemble each meticulously crafted piece and provides a certificate explaining the features within each model.
