Group Show 2006Presented by Baumgartner Gallery October 5, 2006- October 12, 2006Marisa Baumgartner, Fernanda Gomes, Marcia Hafif, Francis Holstrom, Chris Martin, Andrew Masullo, Stephen Mueller, Schandra Signh, George Quasha.Baumgartner Gallery is pleased to present this special Group Show, a one week event, featuring original works by nine of the gallery’s artists.This short exhibition is powered by the longevity of its highly diverse band of contributors. Over the span of three generations of artists, beginning with such paragons of the contemporary aesthetic as Marcia Hafif, Fernanda Gomes, and George Quasha, passing through the imminent and ultimately influential new art of Chris Martin and Stephen Mueller, and ending at the exciting new talent of emerging artists such as Schandra Signh, the thirteen artworks carefully collected for this exhibition serve to “objectify” some of the most unique evolutionary paths of contemporary art. The fascinating and at times surprising nature of visual-discovery, faced with this consortium of artwork, offers up subtle parallels between distinctive approaches to contemporary art that might otherwise seem banal: The sturdy daintiness of Gomes’s strung glass with the fragile virulence of Quasha’s Axial Stones, for example. Likewise, in addition to accentuating tenuous affinities, the abundance of positional variations of these collected artists simultaneously emphasizes each individual artwork’s singularity, challenging us to more succinctly observe them. The artists showing in this exhibition include Marisa Baumgartner, Fernanda Gomes, Marcia Hafif, Francis Holstrom, Chris Martin, Andrew Masullo, Stephen Mueller, Schandra Signh, and George Quasha.
