ASTRAL FLUFF: Carnal Bodies in Celestial Orbit

CREON GALLERY March 17 - April 17, 2010

“The effect is meant to be transformational - viewers become participants in this celebration of a fluid and ever changing reality.” Eleanor Heartney

New York, NY - Creon Gallery is pleased to present Chris Twomey; ASTRAL FLUFF: Carnal Bodies in Celestial Orbit. This multi-media exhibition by NYC artist, Chris Twomey, will be on view at Creon Gallery from March 17th to April 17, 2010. A reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, March 18th from 6 -10pm. In this newest installation, Twomey, known for conceptual fearlessness, bridges the gap between heaven and earth. Audio, film, and photographs enacting earthly endeavors float among the intangible fluffy stuff of dreams. A catalogue with an essay by Eleanor Heartney will accompany the exhibit.

Twomey organizes this intimate gallery space into three discreet areas. A composition of about 15 photographs of various sizes and shapes are grouped on the three walls of the entry room.

The sounds from the next area draw the viewer into the main exhibition space, which is entirely lined and filled with fluffy, cloud-like material shimmering in the light. In and around the fluffy stuff, small DVD’s seem to float. They play video loops in which orchestrated sound and the subjects seen previously, are enacting and re-enacting their earthly actions with eerie resolve.

Exiting this space through an open door leading to the outdoor patio, one sees the culmination of the exhibition which provides the epiphany of this show.

In Astral Fluff, Twomey reveals meaning in simple acts that we perform everyday. Twomey says, “This endurance or resolve to keep going, to improve, to continue, implies a transcendent faith that the next moment will come, connoting a lightness of being which imbues our resolution with profound delicacy.”
