The Bio Arts Gallery is proud to present "LET IT BREED, C.A.L.F.'s Fifth
Anniversary Exhibition" Monday, May 13th through Saturday, June 28th,
with an opening reception Saturday May 11, 6-9
For the past five years C.A.L.F., the Coalition of Artists and Life Forms,
has led a dialog between the art world, the public and the biotechnology
industry through a series of screenings, symposiums, pranks and informal
conversations that sought to educate the art community on issues of bio-tech.
These discussions and investigations have led to a substantial body of work
that both reflect an informed and enlightened vision of artists concerned
with the most important issues of the day.
"LET IT BREED , C.A.L.F. 's Fifth Anniversary Exhibition" brings together
the work of many of C.A.L.F's original and most devoted members including
Marilyn Donahue, Linda Ford, Amy Hicks, Jo Jackson, David Lawrence, Malka
Lehmann, Scott MacLeod, Chicory Miles, Eva Strohmeier, Gabrielle Thormann,
Steve Thurston, and C.A.L.F. 's founder and Executive Director Dale Hoyt.
The exhibition features artists working in a wide range of mediums and materials.
Partner's in crime Steve Thurston and Dale Hoyt's "Kitten Kollaboration"
drawing series envisions feline babies in various satirical jeopardy and
now includes several unauthorized portraits of CC, the world's first cloned
cat. Chicory Miles' epic fountainary piece "Eternal Generation" addresses
in ambitious scale the objectification of progeny, David Lawrence lovingly
dwells on pet fetishism in his digital print work, while Malka Lehmann's
paintings call into question the public fight between mortality and vanity.
The show will also showcase the fleshy and minimalist sculptures of
Linda Ford that pay homage to biological chaos as well as the storyboards
of Amy Hicks' internationally screened video "Hatching Beauty" and Gabrielle
Thormann's canvases pictorializing/romanticizing cell division.
