Marty Walker Gallery is pleased to announce 7023629730, an exhibition of paintings, video and collage by
Jeff Zilm; and in the other gallery,
Allison Schulnik's claymation video "Hobo Clown". Join us Saturday, June 13, 6-8pm for the opening reception for these exhibits.
Jeff Zilm continues to make paintings by transferring complete films, materially, from reel to canvas. Through a process of chemical destabilization he is able to extract the sound and image data from the celluloid base of a reel of film and bind it with an acrylic emulsion. The process is completed by literally re-projecting the film onto a canvas with an industrial paint sprayer. The resulting painting, existing as a kind of spectral presence, is both collapsed montage and impenetrable mise en scène - the terminal edit.
Allison Schulnik’s stop-motion video “Hobo Clown”, depicts ambiguously sad and scary clowns as they rotate and mutate, their wildly expressive eyes repetitively transformed through explosive swirling colors, while a languid, contemplative, flowery sequence hints at something momentarily joyful. Hobo Clown captures in claymation Schulnik’s compulsive gestural brushwork, beautifully decadent use of paint, and the nightmarish if at times wistful narrative depicted throughout the artist’s work.
