IV Beautiful Gestures: Ivy Castellanos Solo Exhibition

Panoply Performance Lab
104 Meserole St
Brooklyn, NY 11206

Opening on Wednesday September 17th 6-8pm
Performance/Discussion on Friday September 26th 8pm
Closing on Friday October 3rd 6-8pm

Castellanos provides eight works in this solo exhibition along with one evening of performance. The show represents a sampling of different thoughts by the artist but as a whole each work has Castellanos’ mark and impression and therefore the show is seamless. The attention to the work is individualized like a signature. They are clean simple objects upon first glance but with further investigation the viewer can recognize the process each work encountered. Castellanos is interested in the attempt to create an object that specifically reflects an individual’s idea of a concept. Simply the attempt to create a visual impression. A beautiful gesture in the form of an object to define one’s perspective. The show can be seen as conceptual, mathematical, funny, dark, intense, or the calm before the storm. It is the first solo show by the artist outside of Castellanos’ performance work.

What does it mean for work to be "open" or "closed"? How do we consider or not consider our audiences? Old and new artists of PPL project space converge to present current works-in-performance.

This installment of the No Wave Performance Task Force's "We Are Scores" series is curated by René Kladzyk, who writes: "In some ways, this focus is intended to deal with notion of a costume as being somehow 'false' or 'deceptive,' when the performance of identity is composed of layers upon layers of material and immaterial reference points, or 'masks.' I am thinking here of Roland Barthes' commentary on costume as a reference point, both its 'diseases' and semantic functions. Another building point is the manner that fashion has tended to be differentiated from artistic expression, how this distinction may be linked to patriarchy, and how shared reference points of bodily housing may or may not serve as fascinating items of analysis and symbolic markers of meaning."

Something beyond sound, something visual, something technical, something conceptual, something that will make your toenails bleed around the edges and the hair stand up on your arms.

Performance Artist, Sculptor, and director of IV Soldiers Ivy Castellanos will present performance documentation and a new live performance, and discuss her practice.

Ivy is an abstracted force of movement shapes and energy. Ivy's work is a violent sculpture transforming each space into unpredictable possibilities. The construction of abstracted objects are customized and functional for the artists specific movements through space. Ivy is the founder and director of IV Soldiers Gallery in Brooklyn, NY and has performed throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Berlin, and Chicago.
