past project

add and subtract

Exhibition dates: January 16 - February 14, 2009
Gallery Kayafas, Boston, MA

Featuring work by: Helga Felleisen, Roberta Paul, Mia Pearlman and August Ventimiglia

Four artists with different approaches to the process of adding to or taking away from the surface are exhibited in the show add and subtract. All demonstrate the minimalist characteristics of simplicity in content and personal expression, allowing the viewer to experience the work without the "distractions" of composition, theme, etc.
