TOMMY HARTUNG
In this exhibition, New York based video artist Tommy Hartung’s work will investigate common mythmaking and story telling tropes that often address the relationships between education, history and religion. Hartung creates alternate worlds in his studio made from ordinary objects (water mirrors’, plants, various found objects) altered for the camera, resulting in elaborate stop motion animations using low tech, yet innovative lighting techniques and camera settings. The result is simultaneously visually hypnotic and self-critiquing, probing further into the divide between dogmatic teaching and objective accounts of the past. Hartung explores the use of entertainment and cinematic devices often used to communicate knowledge between generations and the manner this information is transmitted. By exposing the mechanics of the moving image Hartung provides the means to excavate the past, examines how we transcribe the present and invariably casts doubt into the future.

Presents:
VIDEO SCULPTURE
DAAP Galleries invites our audience into the world of three-dimensional objects with integrated video components. These pioneers of media art have been preoccupied with examining the relationships that arise from the living world interacting with the artificial. This type of work has taken on many characteristics, from the monumental to the intimate, yet always alluding to self. As media technologies develop, it seems that the artists’ perception, relationship, and execution continue to push our understanding of reality and sense of self.

Pared: Works by Matthew Deleget and Ellen Nagel
April 2nd - 30th, 2011
Opening reception: Saturday, April 2nd, 7-10:00pm
For Pared, U·turn Art Space presents works by Matthew Deleget and Ellen Nagel that consider reduction as a maneuver in painting, sculpture throughout art history. Deleget presents a series of monochrome works on panel, along with a long-term and ongoing conceptual project based in the collection of artist catalogues that have been purchased at deeply discounted prices. Nagel has created a number of brand new sculptural installations for the exhibition. Together, Deleget’s and Nagel’s work continues a line of inquiry into reduction and restraint in which U·turn is persistently invested.

People Who Make Us Smile
March 5th—26th, 2011
Opening reception: Saturday, January 5th, 7:00 – 10:00 pm
Cincinnati, OH—U·turn Art Space is pleased to announce People Who Make Us Smile, a group exhibition featuring Meg Duguid, Charley Friedman, Russell Ihrig, Jonathan Juravich, Cary Leibowitz and a collaborative project by Loraine Wible and Chris Reeves. Through sound pieces, sculpture, photography, video, installation, screen printing and a collaborative project designed especially for and executed by U·turn, these artists present works that are quirky, upbeat and dryly self-deprecating. Certainly contemporary uses of humor in Art have its origins in the history of Pop Art, but these artists use punch lines and visual comedic timing in a direct way that critically asks, What is funny? Is that funny? and much more broadly, How can humor be used effectively in an art gallery to touch upon subjects without frivolity? Often, the answers these artists come up with relate to the iconography of celebrities, shared pop cultural knowledge and eager (or else effacing) means of addressing the viewer directly. People Who Make Us Smile is an exercise in admiration, a blame game that reveals why we see the world the way we do. As a gallery, these are the artists who make us smile. But the artists themselves defer to another cast of characters: family relatives, Liza Minnelli, Bart Simpson and Gandhi are but a few of the depicted, with whom we share our glee.

MARCH 2nd. 7pm
Lightborne Lecture: Philip-Lorca di Corcia
Philip-Lorca diCorcia is among the most recognized photo-based artists working anywhere in the world today. His images build on a fascination with the “look” of ordinariness and the snapshot and extend to far more complex references to advertising, film and popular culture and media, doing so through an ambiguous, quasi-documentary style. The artist will discuss the trajectory of his storied career as well as acclaimed recent series of works.
Free. Reservations not required
Parking $4.00; Art Museum members park free.

Ryan Mulligan: "Channel Surfing Till Sunday"
Exhibition Dates: March 5 – 26, 2011
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 5, 7-10 pm
Regular gallery hours: 12-4, Saturdays and by appointment
semantics Gallery is proud to present “Channel Surfing Till Sunday,” new works by Ryan Mulligan. Images generated while multi-tasking on his sofa. Mulligan draws while absorbing romantic comedies, and bouncing his infant son in a floor seat. The images are abstract, glowing, and folkish, residing somewhere between a child’s scrawl in marker and an educated draftsman. Re-interpreted in the studio into highly layered and weathered paintings they are stream of consciousness process paintings forced into a self imposed time management system. His massive site- specific wall paintings metaphorically captures the mental state of an overgrown teen trying to enjoy the state fair while hallucinating from a spoiled cheesesteak. Both real and imagined imagery become disparate props expelled from a phantasmic cartoon.
