Lambert Fine Arts is pleased to present a new collection from international
artist collective Gutbox titled GRID. Comprised of nine core members, Gutbox
embraces the true nature of collaboration in which each piece of art is
developed improvisationally by two or more artists without prior planning. Each
artwork evolves from the creative reactions of one artist in dialog with the
one preceding and then the collective determines as a group when the piece has
matured to completion.
Living in NYC, it's impossible to be unaware of the gridded hive of modernity,
our action within it, and its psychological impact. Grids that are often laid
across the land like a map pop up into three dimensions of the city,
mushrooming to the heights of skyscrapers, and burrowing underground in the
form of subway tunnels. Cross-town busses, car traffic, pedestrian zig zags,
and flight patterns complete the transportation grid and perpetuate its motion.
To some of us the order of the grid could be experienced as safe and
comfortable, while others feel confined by its predictability and regiment.
Though all members of Gutbox live in major metropolitan systems, some have
experienced life in more spacious areas. Gutbox member, Jazz-minh Moore, was
born 'Off the Grid', at Breitenbush Hotsprings, a community in the Oregon woods
that creates its own electricity out of the natural current of river water.
Maps of this place are woven into GRID. Some members were reared within the
suburban sprawl and its ever expanding footprint, offering a sense of order,
uniformity, and a far-reaching grid.
Some of the works in GRID reference aerial landscape photographs of the
agricultural grids that pattern most of this wide country. Others are a nod to
the gridded patterns in plaid shirts, the complex mapping of computer chips,
and metal grids found in the old security glass of fallen windows in the Navy
Yard. Gutbox's goal is to leave no grid unturned.
Present in GRID will also be deviation from, and destruction of, the human-made
grid. Points of transition, from the right angles controlled by humankind to
the organic geometry of nature, include riverbeds, which snake their way
organically across gridded plains, or the linear structure of an abandoned
building falling into oblique angles of ruin.
One way or another, we all participate in GRID.
Gutbox is Nick Dyball, Ray Sell, Ulrike Theusner, John J. Hagan, Heather Hart,
Thomas Witte, Jazz-Minh Moore, Jeff Sims and Seth Mulvey
