The Shape Of Things To Come

Stacy Fisher
Tracy Thomason
Maria Walker

Opening Reception:
Saturday April 16th
7-10pm

Exhibition runs from April 16th through May 13th

Nudashank is pleased to present The Shape Of Things To Come, an exhibition of abstract, sculptural paintings and objects by Brooklyn-based artists Stacy Fisher, Tracy Thomason and Maria Walker, in conjunction with the Transmodern Festival. The works of the three artists, while comprised of varying materials, share a similarly casual, wonky posture. Falling somewhere between sculpture and painting, works balloon off the walls, hang from the ceiling, sag in imperfect shapes and collectively posess a subtle animation that ties into the Transmodern aesthetic, while remaining grounded in abstraction and object art.

Stacy Fisher received a BFA from Ohio State University. She has recently exhibited at Cleopatras in New York, in a two-person show with Gary Panter, Heskin Contemporary, The Bronx River Art Center, and Samson Projects.

Tracy Thomason has a BFA from MICA and an MFA from Cranbrook. She was recently included in a group show at James Fuentes in New York,

Maria Walker received an MFA in painting from Tyler School of Art. She has exhibited at Camel Art Space, NYU's Rosenberg Gallery, Sideshow Gallery and as part of the FAWC Visual Fellows Invitational exhibtion in Provinctown, MA.

In conjunction with the 8th annual Transmodern Festival
April 28th - May 1st

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.
