Andrew Prayzner: New Pictures
WORK Gallery
July 22- 31, 2011
OPENING
Friday July 22nd, 6-10PM
New Pictures is an exhibition of paintings by Andrew Prayzner executed from late 2010 to mid 2011. While seemingly diverse in their formal qualities, the works are unified by their use of grids and geometry. A central theme of these works is the dissemination of visual information by analog and digitally mediated means. The ubiquity of images and their ability to inform or obfuscate information are explored in this exhibition.
ARTISTS TALK
Conversation with Chris Joy and Zachary Keeting of Gorky's Granddaughter, a blog that visits artist studios

DISCRETE POWER
A vizKult organized exhibition
in conjunction with the 5th Annual
NYC Anarchist Book Fair
Saturday April 9th & 10th
OPENING: SAT April 9th, 6-8pm
Judson Memorial Church // 55 Washington Square South // NYC
Revolutions always result in the dissolution of power; the curious fracturing of what once appeared solid. No longer does the eye have a single focal point. Instead, it opens up like a wide-angle lens to reveal the millions of people at play within this movement of power. Or else it zooms onto a street corner, an alleyway, or a vacant lot for traces of a more discrete source of power. Even the outer lying suburbs are panned and scrutinized. In Chris Marker’s 1977 film-essay A Grin Without Cat/Le fond de l’air est rouge the narrator asks “Why is it that images sometime tremble?” In this case, it is the lack of a focal point that causes the eye to tremble. The eye is given no rest.
The work in this exhibition shares the theme of power. Some exude this through the material choices and process, while others keep it contained like a battery. Still there are others who are more curious, testing, searching for the ever-illusive sources of discrete power.
Participating Artists
Hsiao Chen, Pablo Gomez-Uribe, Kristen Kee, Julia Kul, Carlos Little, Rachel Mason, Lucas Michael, ANDREW PRAYZNER, Colette Robbins, Begonia Santa-Cecilia, Ama Saru, Antonio Serna, and Jacob Zurilla

Dvorak sec contemporary is very pleased to present A Taste of New York, a group show featuring an exciting and eclectic mix of young and emerging artists based in New York City.

Manifest Destination: Andrew Prayzner & William Crump
July 3, 2009 – July 31, 2009
Opening Reception: July 3, from 6:00-10:00 p.m.
Tiger Strikes Asteroid

Tiger Strikes Asteroid is pleased to announce the opening of its July two-person exhibition, Manifest Destination: Andrew Prayzner and William Crump.
Horizons play an important part in our psyche: personal, national; actual and imagined – they are a commitment to raising our eyes from immediacy, and casting hearts ahead of us. Our future is always out of our reach, but we can either hope and prepare for the best, or dread its crashing halt and terrible unfolding. In Andrew Prayzner’s painting series depicting captured drug trafficking mules, we see the exposed, raw ends of a dashed horizon hope. The intense desires of these captured and objectified humans that motivated them to traffic – for better lives; safer children; financial freedom – have suddenly clashed with the limitations of that risky trespassing: actual borders have collided with their horizons. And for William Crump, there is a bittersweet, wistful and perhaps naïve sense of the ongoing journey towards those horizons – his mountain folk and Kit Carsonesque explorers recall America’s pioneer past, but are a metaphor for all of us, as they survey and travel on towards a grand and abstract horizon; the search for our own heart’s nation within a nation.
