Art Review of "Curiosities of the Curio" in ArtScene (April, 2010) by Mat Gleason.
“Curiosities of the Curio” is an outstanding small delight of a group show. The exhibit is an ensemble cast of quirky pieces resembling both the scale and eccentricity of the curio cabinet, a tradition of personal and eccentric display dating from the 16th century. Carolie Parker’s map pages mounted on plaster have a sculptural rigor straight out of arte povera. Her twist is adding geopolitical concerns. The countries she has torn from the globe are countries at war that, as she observed in conversation, “are for some reason always colored pink on the map.” Tuan Phan paints mapped surface streets and interstate highways on human forms whose torsos morph into an intense tangle of wires before their heads can develop. Susan Sironi alters flower arranging books by physically removing most of each photo so as to reveal a composite flower arrangement made of one small aspect of each photograph in the book. Denise Kraemer uses melted glass application techniques to mimic sign painting in two raw yet exquisite small wallworks. Like the curio cabinets of yore, the rewards here lie in the details of this expertly crafted work. A-List gallery names like Moira Hahn, Sant Khalsa and Sandow Birk contribute small works in their signature styles that add a heavyweight art world presence (Andi Campognone Projects, Pomona). - Mat Gleason
