FAMILY MATTERS

March 4 – April 24, 2010 | Hosted Exhibition Reception: March 5, 6-9 PM — Exhibition introduction by curator Brian Goeltzenleuchter at 7 pm

Gallery Hours for FAMILY MATTERS Wednesday – Friday 1 – 6pm

Family Matters introduces Sushi’s audience to a group of artists who reflect on the esoteric legacies of the avant-garde through work that is formally- if paradoxically – influenced by popular entertainment.

A visual art exhibit interspersed with performances, lectures and film.

Featuring San Diego based new media artist Lisa Hutton making dada nonsense poems the subject of her multimedia animations. Andrew Kaufman plays the role of artist-as-amateur-magician in his Kiss series, which pays homage to the lineage of sculptors, from Constantin Brancusi to Felix Gonzalez-Torres, who have made work based on the subject of the kiss. The Hague-based artist Oscar Prinsen takes on the persona of a self-help guru who erects playground sculpture (for adults) that comically institutionalizes many of the themes of early performance art. Iowa based artist, Donna Stack embraces the feminist legacy of using soft, gendered materials in a series of profanity-laden, handstiched welcome mats that would make Martha Stewart blush. The two-piece Canadian band The Cedar Tavern Singers compose pop songs about such avant-trivia as the Futurist Manifesto and Robert Smithson’s iconic earthwork, Spiral Jetty.

This highly anticipated multi-media, multi-genre art exhibit will prove to be a memorable, and NOT-TO-BE-MISSED  month+ long art experience.
