Anything at all

When I first got a peek at Ned Colclough’s studio a couple of years back, there were a few paintings on the wall, pinned up photos, and various parts that would become these constructions. I recently had a chance to stop by again and the room is now filled with finished pieces. Maybe it’s because there’s no space for more, but they seem to represent his first major body of work. I'm really into the the sculptures because they are deliberately precarious and oddly rythmic. They pivot, lean, brace, and balance with nothing but friction and gravity keeping them together. Keep an eye out for his work…

One of my faves, Patrick Brennan, has two large works in Call & Response. He seems to be experimenting more with the limits of the black as outlining/covering element and expanding his manipulations of surface and material. Check out his past posts where we talked about these black works and showed some of his older works. Also see his website here.

Update: Patrick will be in The Object Direct, curated by Matthew Fisher at Heskin Contemporary, opening Nov. 20.

Call & Response, curated by Gianna Commito, is up now at Kent State University and closes Nov. 21. Photos by Jaime Keiter.
