little berlin is proud to present an exhibit by Tyler School of Art Students Nathaniel Mell and John Shoemaker.
ESCAPEMENT | April 6th-21st 2012
Opening Reception, First Friday April 6th [FACEBOOK]
Time exists so that everything doesn’t happen at once.
(Albert Einstein)
The human experience orders life into a linear narrative, dissecting events and placing them into a sequence in which one succeeds the next. Yet, the mechanics of the universe present time as an aqueous medium in which chronology dissolves and events move freely about one another rather than conforming to a linear track.
In Escapement, artists Nathaniel Mell and John Shoemaker present a number of works that find their commonality in a fluid notion of time and history realized through found and formed objects. Utilizing the figure as well as numerous cast and sculpted elements, Nathaniel’s work references an amalgamation of appropriated characters, narratives, and symbols with a common thread of wanderlust and disillusionment. Concurrently, John’s installations explore the mechanics of space and time through elementary machines, utilizing industrial and maritime aesthetics and materials in order to investigate the matter of objects and reveal the complexities of simple systems.
Opening Event on First Friday April 6th | 6-10PM at little berlin
