Resistance
August 2 – Sept 2, 2007
Opening Reception:
5-8pm
First Thursday, August 2, 2007
Artist Talk: 2pm on Saturday, August 4, 2007
Punch gallery presents Resistance, a two-person exhibition
by convergent artists Andrew Kaufman and Donna Stack, who have
jointly distilled wide-ranging ideas into sculpture, video,
works on paper, and installation. Although they work as individual
artists, Resistance combines the mutual interests of
both artists, which mediates political currents into contemplative
forms. Each artist was inspired by recent domestic and international
events, and question ethical failings experienced at home and
abroad. Kaufman’s video Hold On, Hold Up, functions
on a level of simplicity which defies the struggle he undertakes
to hang onto the weight of his body or support the weight of
a bar, and which speaks to the struggle of the human condition.
Stack’s installation piece (shouldn’t throw
stones) directly questions notions of hypocrisy as a video
displays one-minute clips of events ranging from the Twin Tower
attacks to the Indian Ocean Tsunami inside a life-sized stained
glass pup tent.
Andrew Kaufman and Donna Stack both received their MFA from
the University of South Florida in 2002. Andrew Kaufman has
exhibited nationally and internationally and his work was included
in The Fragile Species at the Frist Center for the
Visual Arts. He is also the recipient of a 2007 Artist Trust
GAP Award. Donna Stack has also exhibited nationally and internationally
and was recently included in the exhibition Dichotomic
at Gallery Korea in New York City. She is also the recipient
of a 2004 and 2007 Artist Trust GAP Award. Both artists live
in Ellensburg, WA and teach at Central Washington University.
First Saturday Art-talk: August 4, 2007 at
