BRICK WEEKLY
April 5, 2007
Gallery5 Opening Friday April 6: “Don’t Fear for the Future, Sweetness,” curated by Suntek Chung and featuring the work of Amelia Winger-Bearskin, Theresa Marchetta, Carman McLeod, Valerie Molnar, Jessica Langley, Alexis Semtner, Marian Smith and Lisa Marie Thalhammer. What should you expect? According to Mr. Chung’s artist statement, “scads of saccharine-soaked, violent self-expression: The Sweetness artists, confectioners of the lavish, the mock-tawdry, have heard with deaf ears the cries for pity emanating from ascetic, politicized painting. Now there is much gnashing of teeth and piteous wailing as these taffy pullers shower cakes and candy bars onto the graves of their ancestors. They puke frosting onto the heads of the dead revolutionaries…” Yikes. On display through May 25. 200 W. Marchall St. 644.0005 www.gallery5arts.com
