Hello and greetings from Postmasters
following please find information on a first in New York exhibition
by Los Angeles based artist EDDO STERN opening this Saturday.
+ gallery announcements, news and a schedule of upcoming shows
***************************
EDDO STERN
0ctober 19 -november 16, 2002
opening reception: saturday, october 19, 6-8 pm
two projects will be on view:
1. EDDO STERN "Sheik Attack"
"Sheik Attack" is a contemporary non/fiction horror film woven from
pop nostalgia, computer war games, the sweat of virtual commandos,
the blood of sheiks and a mis-rememberance of a long lost Zionist
Utopia.
Shown in New York for the first time this digital video is compiled
from sources available exclusively on the computer Desktop
environment - games, graphics, web sites and music. Based on known
and documented facts, it creates a narrative of the
Israeli-Palestinian (or more general Arabic) conflict. The war
computer games, where even the most violent attack fantasies are
"just a game," acquire a startling real life relevance in "Sheik
Attack."
2. "Warcraft"
"Warcraft" is a selection of contemporary Afghani war rugs from
private collections in New York, Los Angeles, and Israel organized
and presented by Eddo Stern. The war rugs document the Afghani
resistance to the Russian incursion using iconography of modern
weaponry incorporated as decorative elements into the traditional
rugmaking craft. A fascinating phenomenon of the past two decades,
these rugs strongly resonate with a current geopolitical reality.
Eddo Stern is an Israeli born artist currently living in Los Angeles.
He is a founder of C-Level, a non-profit media space in LA Chinatown.
Postmasters Gallery, located in Chelsea at 459 West 19th Street
(corner of 10th Avenue), is open Tuesday through Saturday 11am to 6
pm. Please contact Magdalena Sawon with any questions that you might
have.
please visit the gallery site http://www.postmastersart.com for more
information and images which should be online early next week.
