Super Imposition, Third Party Gallery’s June exhibition showcases images and objects in conflict with context. For the selected artists, embracing new technologies means aligning wholly disparate objects, situations, and imagery as a method to push, mold, or break our predetermined approaches to consuming media.
Featuring work by Ria Roberts, Abby Cornelius, Maxime Guyon, and Olivia Erlanger.
Third Party Gallery, located at 2159 Central Ave, Cincinnati 45214
Ryan Mulligan mines the best and worst memories of his life to create works that serve as private inventory drawers. Mulligan’s illustrative drawing style, pastel palette and cartoon-like use of line, reduce the severity of his subjects, casting them in a playful light. He often works at home; multi-tasking while watching television, cooking dinner, or playing on the ground with his son. The studio becomes an extension of the home, a playground for a stimulus junkie.
Ryan Mulligan: Inventories + Diagrams will feature drawings, paintings and sculptures that are in part inspired by the role fatherhood has taken in his everyday life. In many ways Mulligan’s new work is the creation of a special language with his son, Hobbs. The loops and swirls and semi-structures relate to the environments Hobbs frequents.

In 840 gallery this week (May 21-25) there is a really compelling painting exhibition on display. Joe Hedges and Nick Scrimenti, the artists of the exhibition, seem to be exploring ideas of manic collection. The boxes (done by Joe Hedges) while multi-colored and varied in size don't exactly make me feel as overwhelmed as an episode of hoarders does or stepping into some people's basements. In fact there is an elegant organized chaos to them.I love the composition of the boxes as well, it offers that fullness that exemplifies the act of hoarding. Nick Scrimenti's self proclaimed messes however incites an anxiousness that straddles the border between comfortable and panic. That incantation is done beautifully. My iPhone photos don't do their pieces justice, so go check out 840. The reception is Thursday May 24th. See you all there!
