Odd Logic @ Current Space
April 5th – April 28th
Dave Eassa
Louis Abbene-Meagley
Peter Ferguson
Nicole Dyer
Opening Reception April 5th 7-10 p.m.
Odd Logic is truth with an accent. Odd Logic is in all the right places. Odd Logic is tongue tied. Odd Logic is a spring day where everyone is smiling and your best friend finds $20 on the sidewalk and buys you an ice cream cone.
Odd Logic is an exhibition exploring the work of four Baltimore based artists, all are currently finishing their BFA at MICA in May. The exhibition explores painting, sculpture, and drawing from the four, as we are confronted with figuration, the familiar identity allows a sense of communion with the work during the process and result. We make characters, forms, and spaces that reflect our own understanding of our own figuration. By creating these pieces shaped by our empathic understanding of figures, we can give them the life we feel in us. Working in the studio there is a consistent demand for us to set our egos aside and attend solely to the work. It comes to us in frenzied energy of play, consistent rhythm of labor, gluttonous indulgence of material, and a sense of detachment from self. We strive to place our own individual energies within the work and in doing so place ourselves within a space where we put our personalities into the core of the work. In laboring ourselves into these figures the work ends with the residue of the mentality that initially fueled the process.

Dust-Off at Springsteen Gallery Saturday, April 6 from 7-10 pm
1505 Guilford Avenue, B303
Dust-Off is a group show featuring the work of Milton Melvin Croissant III, Colin Foster, Margo Benson Malter, Nick Peelor, and Nick Vyssotsky. The selected works begin to recontextualize pieces of popular culture in order to investigate the relational systems they engender. The behaviors and by-products these systems nurture relate to characteristics of speed and delirium. It may be worthwhile to consider how artistic production coexists with these economies.
