February 19, 2008 Heather Rasmussen, Dawson Weber, and Bret Nicely Some Indispensable Concepts for Understanding this Beautiful Exhibition February 23—March 29, 2008 Opening reception: February 23, 2008, 7–9pm <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Some Indispensable Concepts For Understanding This Beautiful Press Release: It is the esteemed pleasure of artist/curator Jessica Minckley to bring together this trio of Los Angeles-based artists. This show focuses, as does its venue, the Confederacy for Creative Ephemera, on showcasing fleeting, changing, and collaborative works, liberating preconceived anticipations about these artists' practices, exhibition methods, and the white cube's space/time continuum. An ever-percolating, collaborative bricolage of temporarily hoarded forms and notions: Dawson Weber's drawings suspend a bouquet of "failed ideas," bridging the gap between the scrap and scribble of dreamy sentiments and broken systems with heightened chroma and an arching, operatic crescendo. Bret Nicely never fails to satiate and confound with unlikely concoctions; curiously piece-mealing wick and limber pixels, pages and ply-wood, Nicely reverses the spirit of the traditional "scrap-to-finished" gestation of works, sometimes in pseudonym, all hinged on a proverbial, hidden peg-leg. Heather Rasmussen tip-toes around the chaos of "dismissed," sometimes kitsch objects, fastidiously archiving containers of our collective past and presenting exposures with the pathos of a tug boat- always marked by a stark, yet poetic signature all her own. In addition to the exhibition, there will be: Some indispensable concepts for understanding this beautiful tour, an artist lead tour of the Port of Los Angeles: Date and time TBA, please check the website for updated information For more information: www.someindispensableconceptsforunderstandingthisbeautifulwebsite.com www.ccephemera.net www.circus-gallery.com
