MASS Gallery Presents: Color Spaces – New Work by Sam Sanford
Show Dates: Saturday, November 14th through December 12th 2009
Opening: Saturday, November 14th 10pm – 12am
Artist Talk: Saturday, November 21st 3pm
MASS Gallery presents Color Spaces, an exhibition of new paintings and video by Austin artist Sam Sanford.
Sanford’s works form an extended investigation into the three-color system at the foundation of the world of images we now inhabit.
Nineteenth-century advances in optics and pigment technology gave us the ability to capture and reproduce a full range of color using only three photoreceptors or pigments – without this three-color (RGB/CMY) system, color photography and film, television, compression of digital images and video, and the Internet as we know it would not be possible.

MASS Gallery Presents
Funky Junction Oracles
New Work by Dylan Reece
Show Dates: Saturday, October 17th through November 7th 2009
Opening: Saturday, October 17th 10pm – 12am
MASS Gallery is pleased to present Funky Junction Oracles, an exhibition of new works by Austin-based artist Dylan Reece.
On view from October 17th to November 7th, Funky Junction Oracles employs a variety of media — prints, photography, painting, animated GIFs, and sculpture — to illustrate Reece’s attempt to fix meaning in a world characterized by ever increasing flows of information and rapid change in the complexity of social systems. Drawing from a range of sources that include the pop-metaphysics of the ’70s, the classical art of Greece and Rome, the internet, vintage nature books, rave culture, and Modernism in art, the imagery for much of the work is unified by an underlying sense of idealism and progress gone awry.

MASS Gallery Presents
Don’t Let Your Time Do You
Nathan Green & Dave Bryant
Show Dates: September 5th through September 30th 2009
Opening: Saturday, September 5th 7pm – 11pm
Don’t Let Your Time Do You is an experimental collaboration between two Austin artists, Dave Bryant and Nathan Green. This exhibition will feature a large-scale sculpture composed of found objects, peripheral art materials, and handmade objects that aim to transform MASS Gallery into a desert island paradise cum defunct natural history museum. Through the ramshackle construction and idiosyncratic aesthetic of the environment, the exhibition can be viewed as a sculptural collage that blurs tradition notions of landscape, abstraction, nature, and artifice.

New Work by Corky Sinks
June 6th through June 27th Opening: Saturday, June 6th 10pm – 12am
MASS Gallery, 916 Springdale Rd. Austin, TX 78702
You dreamed about the same creep I did. – Tina, Nightmare on Elm Street
Sinks’ work examines the way bits of information are transferred from source to source and the space that exists between sources. As information travels, the space between each bit fluctuates, drawing representation nearer to the truth while distancing the two through editing processes, new discoveries, new technologies, and living language.

NEW WORK BY MARK P. HENSEL
Opens this Friday 12/5
at MASS gallery
from 8 to 11 pm
916 Springdale Rd
“Mark approaches art like a freight train, there is none of this delicate hand holding and theory. It seems to just comes to him like air does to most people.
His past performances always felt more like incantations to which the audience were unwittingly susceptible, steadily broiling these energies until the atmosphere was so charged that it felt like anything could potentially happen at any second. (Sometimes it did: an ex threw a melted chocolate Frosty at me at one performance.)
This particular show will consist of one massive installation and a series of animations, which Mark called “visions of cryptostructures.” If you are interested in reaching through the veil of consciousness for FREE then please come and see this show.”
