Consider the connection/disconnection between memory and discarded artifacts of communication. If old letters, photographs, or videos are connected to past events in our lives — what happens when they are discarded or lost? Hoffman uses obsessive or meditative actions to explore how we classify, organize, and recall the contexts and memories attached to these orphaned objects.

This exhibition comprises three works of conceptual and performance art: Slideshow, Talent Show, and Dear Mad, I really like your hair today! Love, Johnny

artwork by Danielle Bursk
exhibition
October 3 October 5, 2011

Danielle Bursk’s work is primarily abstract and incremental, the accumulation of small lines creating abstract forms that are suggestive of objects. Creating these forms, Bursk references nests, networks, webs, traps, nets, and the interconnectivity of actions and associations.

She is showing with Amie Potsic’s photographs and large format graphite drawings and ink and varnish paintings by Gregory Brellochs.
