Event Title: Tria Gallery Opening Reception, “The Pictures” Mixed Media Works by Chris Piazza, with accompanying experimental films. Event Description: Photograph-based mixed media works by Chris Piazza, with experimental films created in the 1930s through 1980s by legendary avant-garde filmmakers Kenneth Anger, Rudy Burckhardt, Joseph Cornell, Barry Gerson and Lawrence Jordan. Film writer John Matturri describes Chris Piazza’s work as coming out of “her deep feeling for found materials, a feeling rooted in patinas that are as much emotional as physical, that often call the viewer back to material histories that resonate although they are often just beyond the reach of personal memory.” Ms. Piazza’s fascination with old photographs, films, and the indelible images they can etch in viewers’ minds is at the heart of this exhibition. Matturri writes that Piazza’s works combine a minimalist sensibility of repetition, seriality, and meticulous craftsmanship with a maximalist imaginative vision akin to, albeit on a larger physical scale, that of Joseph Cornell. The exhibit runs through December 21. Time: 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Co-Chairs and Honorees (when applicable): Location: Tria Gallery is located in Chelsea at 547 West 27th Street, 5th floor.
