MFA 2007 Leigh-Ann Pahapill exhibits in Brooklyn
John Delk, Patrick Doyle, Sean Glover, Carolyn Funk, Lara Kohl, Matthew Lusk, Melissa Barrett Lundquist, William McMillin, Leigh Ann Pahapill, Tim Saltarelli, Dave Shull, and Nikita Vishnevskiy July 26 - August 24 + opening night Saturday, July 26, 7-9pm - 155 Freeman St. Greenpoint, Brooklyn. REPETTI - GREENPOINT - July 20, 08: Using a derelict industrial building in Greenpoint, an international group of artists reconstitute the Olafur Eliasson survey on their own terms. This show responds to the unquestioned acclaim for Eliasson's faux-natural creations, and inaugurates Repetti's future home. Twelve artists each address a different Eliasson work using the squalid state of this former carriage house as inspiration. The building will undergo major renovation in the fall and become the new home for Repetti in late '09. Organized by William McMillin and Sam Farnsworth, this group of established and emerging artists has strong ties to the Greenpoint area, though also included are several foreign-based artists. Please contact sam@repetti.org for more information, or visit www.repetti.org. Open by appointment only at 155 Freeman Street, Greenpoint Brooklyn. (718) 786-8007. Subway: G to Greenpoint Ave. Posted by Alison on July 30, 2008

Martina Nehrling, MFA 2001, Exhibits at Zg Gallery, Chicago 6/6/08 MARTINA NEHRLING
Martina Nehrling "Through a Purple Patch" detail, panel #2 of 3, full size 42"h. x 21 feet, acrylic on canvas, 2007 ÂMartina Nehrling uses painting as a means of engaging in a dialogue with the visual world, communicating through an emotional use of color. Nehrling's palette is distinguished by a euphoric almost manic use of primary and spectral colors banded together in a system of marks across the surface of the painting. Nehrling states that she uses color, "in order to engage and explore its imprecise language that is suspiciously downplayed as a rule." Nehrling's paintings question the decorative label attributed to these hues and call for a re-examination of those colors previously written off as too pretty and inconsequential. Martina Nehrling received her MFA from the University of Chicago and her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Posted by Alison on Mar. 20, 2008
