JOSE CARLOS CASADO
"well-dressed lies"
(video installations)

"A Perfect Day for Bananafish"
(a group show of gallery artists)

Postmasters Gallery is pleased to announce the
opening of two new exhibitions: "well-dressed
lies" - an exhibition of video works by a Spanish
artist Jose Carlos Casado, and "A Perfect Day
for Bananafish" - a group show of new works by
gallery artists and projects. Both shows will
open on
June 19 and will be on view until July 24, 2004.
The reception is planned for Saturday, June 19,
6 - 8pm.

In a catalogue for Casado's solo exhibition at
Fundacion Picasso in Malaga, Spain, Anne Barlow
describes
the artist's work as presenting timely,
beautiful, and perturbing insights into the
complexity of our present
and future "human states." The central project
in the show is a two channel video installation
titled
"Pandora's Box (revisited).v04" - an
interconnected two-screen video that combines
real life footage with
digital imaging, special effects, and graphics
creating a visually intense tale of perpetual
re-birth and the
future of "biological body." Carnal beings and
androids, birds and bees, and re-written myths of
procreationinvigorate the
umbilically tied organic and technological realms.
Casado is a 2004 recipient of NYFA Artists' Fellowship in Video.

Presented simultaneously group exhibition "A
Perfect Day for Bananafish" will include works of
