opening. Friday. April 7. 5 - 7pm

​

Pastine Projects is pleased to present a solo show of sculptures and drawings by Sheila Ghidini.

Sheila Ghidini writes “I’m interested in calling attention to the ubiquitous, but often overlooked spaces between things, as well as the shadows cast by them…..what’s lost, missing, or obscured is as critical to the work, if not more so, then that which is tangibly present.”

Leonard Rosenfeld Wires and Graffiti

​

date. April 7 thru May 13.

opening. Friday. April 7. 5 - 7pm

We're thrilled to be able to present work by New York artist Leonard Rosenfeld  (1926-2009).

 

Rosenfeld started his Wires in 1982 after finding a piece of electric wire on the floor of his studio and nailing it onto the stretcher bar using carpet tacks. He liked the way it looked and, eventually, wire strips took the place of canvas on his stretcher bars. At first he used only black and white wire. Then, in 1994, he began using colored wire and other materials such as cotton, silk or fur. A review of his show at Simone Gallery in Soho in 1994, A Painter Lost to Painting, says of his Wires, “How much Leonard Rosenfeld can accomplish and how dazzling it can look by just using tacks and black and white wire is truly remarkable,” adding, “It is what Rosenfeld wants to say in his use of abstract design schemes and primitive forms, this combination of the Neolithic and modern technology that focuses on that long adventure of man that is civilization.”

opening. Saturday.  January 21. 2023. 3 - 5pm

​

Eva Bovenzi has long spent summers in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of southern Colorado, forty miles from the New Mexico border. She travels frequently to Santa Fe, Taos, Albuquerque, Gallup and the tribal lands of Northern New Mexico, to look at traditional indigenous art and attend Native American ceremonial dances and pow wows. She writes, “I’m captivated by the boldness and beauty of the indigenous art of that region: Hopi masks and kachina figures, Pueblo pottery, Navajo blankets, Zuni silver work. It’s all a perfect expression of the vastness of the Southwestern sky and desert, and the undeniable spiritual presence of the landscape.”

Minoan Stories

Paintings and Works on Paper by Jessica Snow

​

date. November 4 thru December 17

opening. Friday. November 4. 5 - 8 pm

The exhibition includes oil pastels on paper created at the residency Château Orquevaux in France. The one-month residency followed a particularly seminal stay at Agia Pelagia, in Crete over the summer where Snow says she “dove deep into the mythical.” Inspired by preclassical art, the geography of Crete, and the ancient myths of the island, her new work unfolds like an an archeological excavation where, for Snow, “meaning is always at play, tugging here tugging there, never quite settling into one thing or another.”

Femmes Futuristes

Photo-based by Kathryn Dunlevie

​

date. November 4 thru December 17

opening. Friday. November 4. 5 - 8 pm

Kathryn Dunlevie creates works that meld the familiar with the extraordinary. Each work depicts a silhouette of a woman whose interior is an amalgam of scavenged images. Often these women step forward with a sense of urgency and purpose, disrupting or activating the space around them. The collaged elements within each body create narrative content suggesting a diverse array of possibilities.

From Moment to Moment
 

Artworks by Theodora Varnay Jones, Robin Richardson, and  Marta Sanchez Vasquez

 

date. July 15 thru August 11

opening. July 15. 5 - 8 pm

​

Civil twilight is the time of day before sunrise or after sunset when the sun is six degrees below the horizon. It is a time when light is increasing or fading and images and objects are difficult to discern. Similar to the shifting visibility at civil twilight, the artists in From Moment to Moment embrace ambiguity, disappearance, and reemergence in their work. Valuing the indeterminate in favor of absolutes, they explore the ephemeral quality of material, the nature of time, and the relationships between object and image. The open-ended nature of these artworks invite us to consider the play of presence and absence and the potentiality of our imagination.  Acknowledging that there is no one truth, their work remains open to interpretation over time.

New York Times Collages and Other Works

by Francesca Pastine

​

date. May 13 thru June 11

opening. May 13. 5 - 8 pm

​

Francesca Pastine uses printed media, received images, and

everyday objects as a springboard to consider her inner life

in relation to the world. For her Time Travel Series, she

harvests images of watches, jewelry, and full-page fashion

ads from the New York Times. She disassembles then

reconstructs the 22 x 11 inch pages of the Times into its

original format in order to retain the newspaper’s identity

The finished works lean on a shelf, creating an interplay of

light, shadow, and movement. The flow of time is revealed

in the newspaper's publication dates and the shifting values of its

ink and paper stock.
