Human Craters- A Group show in Brooklyn

My friend, Hillary Wiedemann will be in a group show at BRIC Rotunda Gallery in Brooklyn.
The opening is Wednesday, January 21, 7 – 9 pm and Curated by Nina Horisaki-Christens.
The Artists Include: Vincent Como, Robert de Saint Phalle, Alex Dodge, Jason Ferguson, Manuela Paz, Eugenie Tung, B.J. Vogt, and Hillary Wiedemann.

An oblique exploration of the human figure, the works in Human Craters hint at the human form by placing it at the edge of the frame, removing its details, or presenting only its imprints. Approaching their subjects in manners ranging from the semi-reverent to the comical, the binding factor within the exhibition is an exploration of the remnants of a human presence. Moving on to sound actualized, Hillary Wiedemann's Conversation Pieces present the crystallized form of the human voice as an extension of the body, offering us representations of the spaces between human forms. This de-materialization of the physical and solidification of the insubstantial points to the tenuousness of the corporeal form that we so often take for granted.
