de/construct opens in providence on may 17th (gallery night) and will run through may 27th, 2007.




The exhibition title “de/construct” refers both to the show's theme of art and architecture and to a particular way of looking. It also evokes the show's unusual setting: the 4000 sq. ft. loft at 150 Chestnut St. is slated for interior demolition following the show, so that the artists were free to literally deconstruct and reconstruct their environment. The work ranges from photographs and paintings to sculpture and installation, all presented in interesting and unusual relationships to the specific site. All eight artists live and work in the Providence area: Erin Eberle, Avi Forman, Graham Heffernan, Jon Laustsen, Olga Mesa, Allison Paschke, Lisa Perez, Magaly Ponce, and Antonio Rocha. The show was curated by Allison Paschke in conjunction with the other artists.
