Dana Bell / Alasdair Duncan / Don Voisine @ Theodore: Art

Dana Bell / Alasdair Duncan / Don Voisine

14 January - 3 March 2012

Opening Reception: January 14, 6 - 8 PM

The unity of the thing remains mysterious as long as one considers its
different qualities as so much data belonging to worlds entirely distinct
from sight, from smell, from touch, etc.
- Merleau Ponty

Theodore:Art is pleased to present the first exhibition in our new home in Bushwick: work by Dana Bell, Alasdair Duncan, and Don Voisine.

These three artists, while creating very different work, all touch on the possibilities of communicating ideas in a space outside of language. The familiarity of signifiers – form and gesture – is offered without the reliable connection of a signified or finite meaning. A viewer is confronted with evasive focus: unspoken directions, mute expressions, opaque progressions. The potential “unity of the thing” is proffered as a semblance of infinite suggestion.

AFTER LORCA by Ted Hughes The clock says "When will it be morning?" The sun says "Noon hurt me." The river cries with its mouthful of mud And the sea moves every way without moving. Out of my ear grew a reed Never touched by mouth. Paper yellows, even without flame, But in words carbon has already become diamond. A supple river of mirrors I run on Where great shadows rise to the glance, Flowing all forward and bringing The world through my reflection. A voice like a ghost that is not Rustle that dead in passage Leaving the living chilled, Wipe clear the pure glass of stone. Wipe clear the pure stone of flesh. A son...
