Fakin' It

Props, Stage Sets, Case Studies and Forced Emotions.  The fake in our lives is our life.  

Opening Reception Thursday April 12 5-7 pm.

Show runs till May 20th 2012 in UC's Meyers Gallery (directions and info here)

Gallery Hours:  Sun - Thursday 10 to 5

An exhibition that believes every object has layered authenticity.  Coinciding with an exhibition of forgeries by Mark Landis, Fakin' It plays with the concept of "false" by showcasing  a sincerity of materials and authentic voices of a group of international artists.  Works question the continually blurring line between sculpture and painting.  SOme explot the studio as stage for decoys and charlatans.  While others are masterfully hand -crafted versions of debris and dollar store items.  Fakin' It showcases the playfully acute struggle artists have with honesty.

Artists:  David Herbert, Cynthia Gregory, Marc Horowitz, Alex Ebstein, Seth Alesberger, 

Megan Shvaneveldt, Katie Bell, Roula Partheniou, Allan Ludwig, and Cabinet Magazine.

Semantics

Semantics and Robert Fronk present: Industrial Compositions. Simply put, Fronk composed assemblages from vintage wood milled foundry patterns. Assisted Ready-mades; a sort of quasi - reverse - Bauhaus, where function instead follows form.The work is approached with equal amounts of unconditionality and intentionality. Fronk lived in Chicago for 18 years, painting sets for ballets, opera, theatre and amusement parks. He created faux finishes for painting studios in NYC and Chicago, worked on church restorations and commercial signage, all the while working on his personal paintings and assemblage. Born in Cincinnati, Fronk graduated from The Art Academy in 1981, w/ scholarships and concentration in Drawing and Printmaking. Show opens Saturday April 7th from 7-10pm Semantics gallery 1107 Harrison Avenue Cincinnati, OH 45214 tel. – 513-348-7261

Third Party Gallery

"Art for Sport is dedicated to the proverbial jock, and in pure sport fashion is a celebration and contortion between fandom, competitive spirit and camaraderie/angst amongst peers. As a practitioner of art and dedicated sports fan, I find the similarities blaringly blatant, yet the two worlds overly separated due to opposing societal ideals. The work created for this show is centered on a neutral bias between the two professions if you will, by combining a function culmination of both."

Matt Wiseman is a huge sports fan, advocate of wasting your time memorizing sport stats, co-curator at Museum Gallery/Gallery Museum, member of SLAPface, and an occasional artist.
