HORROR VACUI

Nudashank presents "Horror Vacui", a group exhibition featuring Laura Brothers (NY), Harrison Haynes (NC), Benjamin Phelan (NY), Dan Gluibizzi Jr (NY), and Charles Broskoski (TX). This multimedia exhibition will include painting, sculpture, photography, video and digital prints. The title Horror Vacui refers to a fear of empty spaces, each of the works use retro sci-fi aesthetics to examine the fear of the emptiness of a contemporary existence so heavily enmeshed with technology.

Opening Reception: Friday April 16th 6pm-8:30pm
The opening reception is free, but to see the rest of the festival that occupies the 3rd through the 6th floors of the H&H, there is a $10 admission. 
Shows runs from April 16th - May 7th, 2010

The exhibit will be open as part of the Transmodern Festival on Friday the 16th, Saturday 17th, and Sunday 18th from 8pm-midnight. $10 admission to the festival in the lobby of the H&H. The show will also be open to the public from noon- 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. 

Transmodern is a festival of provocative works by cultural experimenters from Baltimore and the World. The artists of the 7th Annual Transmodern Festival defy traditional genres and embrace radical innovation through transmedia, clashes of organic vs. artificial intelligence, psychogeography, dislocation of consensus reality, real politic and collective cultural action.

The 7th Annual Transmodern Festival (Live.Art.Action) will be held at the Baltimore Museum of Art, the H&H Building galleries and Baltimore waterfront from April 15th to Sunday, April 18th. Following last year’s record attendance and crowds, the festival expands programming to the Baltimore Museum of Art, continues programming on all four floors of the H&H Building and moves outdoor site-specific work to selected areas of Baltimore waterfront. The festival’s visionary approach to presenting new multi-disciplinary work continues to attract regional art lovers, local cultural mavens, occasional passers-by, critical acclaim, and on-going academic interest.

We visited the studios of Benjamin Phelan and Edward Max Fendley in the past few weeks, picking up work for Horror Vacui (April) from Benjamin (who is currently touring with Yeasayer, doing the light installations for their live shows) and for Fountain Art Fair (March 4 - 6) from Ed. Check out photos from our visits, and look for their work in our upcoming exhibitions!
