Rhapsody

Oct 4 – Nov 2

"Rhapsody began with one specific work of art and unfolded one artwork and one artist at a time, eventually including five artists with distinctive work.  The idea was to put together these unique pieces to create a contemplative show that has a resonance between works, a powerful and lingering chord, a rhapsody that precludes words." – Mike Olin

Guy Goodwin (b. 1940 near Birmingham, AL) has shown his work in NYC for over 5 decades, with solo shows in many galleries and museums.  His work has been featured in countless publications. Guy has work in public collections including: The Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, NY, Centro Cultural Arte Contemporaneo, Mexico City, Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, MI, Lannan Foundation, Los Angeles, CA and The Museum of American Art, Philadelphia, PA.  Guy began in NYC as part of the downtown artist scene of the 1970’s and currently lives and works in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

Sarah Peters (b. 1973, Boston, MA) creates sculptures referencing idols, monuments, and pop artifacts to explore how these forms convey power, devotion, and hierarchy. Drawing on a personal history with ecstatic and highly controlled religious communities, her work reinterprets classical sculpture with humor, tactile intimacy, and absurdism. Peters has shown her work throughout NYC and internationally and her work has been reviewed and featured in publications such as The New York Times, The New Yorker, Art in America, Artforum, and The Brooklyn Rail. Peters lives and works in New York, NY.  

Jonathan Allmaier lives in New York, where he has presented three solo exhibitions at James Fuentes Gallery. His work has been discussed in The New Yorker, San Francisco Arts Quarterly, Hyperallergic, TimeOut New York, New American Paintings, The Brooklyn Rail, New York Magazine, and other publications. In 2014, James Fuentes published Which World, a collection of his essays. He earned his BA in Philosophy and Visual Arts (honors) from Brown University, and his MFA in Painting from the Tyler School of Art.

Dan Bainbridge (b. 1976 in Dubuque, Iowa) lives and works in NYC.  Dan’s art projects are interactive sculptures and hybrid drawings - built from found objects - that activate vibration and communion as a medium of storytelling, healing, and prayer.  His practice seeks to weave poetry, geometry, vibrations and animal forms in sculptural instruments, experimentation across sound, form, and scientific technologies within collective performance and planetary resonance.
