Directions to The Synthetic Zero Art Space

Laura Napier's show, Stranger Than Fiction, closes on Thursday, April 23rd. If you'd like to see the show please email Laura Napier at laura_napier at hotmail dot com or events at syntheticzero dot com to make an appointment.

May 1st (7pm opening), 2nd (noon - 6pm), and 6th (6pm)

"Otherworld: Explorations of the Uncanny"

Alison Ward curates a show featuring artwork by Lauriston Avery, Jenny Doussan, Josh Kil, Wyatt Nash, Clive Murphy, and Alison Ward. It is a mix of painting, drawing, sculpture, video, and sound work that deals with the notion of cognitive dissonance - that uncanny feeling that happens when one holds two contradictory ideas simultaneously. All of the work that she has chosen for the show has a dialogue with the other pieces as well, so the whole exhibition should read as a larger installation piece. The show opens on Friday May 1st with a reception that evening, and will be open for the 3rd Annual Mott Haven Open Studio Tour on Saturday the 2nd from 4pm-6pm.
