David Capra: Nativity by Lost At E Minor

david_capra.jpg

Australian artist David Capra has an exhibition kicking off at Sydney's Mori Gallery this week . Titled Nativity, the show will feature "a garden of pom poms, rainbow paper towers, lakes of melted wax, caves of crinkled-up paper and Barbie dolls dressed as Catholic saints." It was inspired by a recent year long excursion Capra took through Europe: "I came across many nativity scenes along the way and it was only a matter of time before I made one of my own."

Bill Culbert: Light Sculpture
Pairing the humble plastic detergent bottle with the equally humble fluorescent light tube, Kiwi artist Bill Culbert's latest show features subtle re-workings of everyday objects into luminous sculptures. Arranging groups of identical empty, label-less bottles along the horizontal axis of the florescent light, his work evokes both products arranged on a shelf and the horizon line, a point he cheekily drives home with a...
Cal Lane and Elissa Levy: Purfle
Rife with paradox, the finely-detailed metal sculptures by Cal Lane (Wheel Barrel, 2005 pictured) and Elissa Levy's military-themed felt pieces, mix delicate filigree with more substantial materials and topics. Their complimentary work is the subject of a show called "Purfle" that opens at Foley Gallery in NYC tomorrow, 2 November 2006 and runs through 6 January 2007. Lane will show a series of plasma-cut...
Mark Andreas: Reactive Sculpture Series
After exhibiting up and down the eastern seaboard, Brooklyn-based sculptor Mark Andreas has crossed the East River to make his Manhattan debut. Andreas' Reactive Sculpture Series includes the hulking 400-pound Seed Spreader (pictured), an intimidating machine equipped with three-foot spinning blades. It brilliantly expresses the fear associated with the industrialization of mass food production that, in the words of the artist, “conceptually speaks to...
