Talking Paper, 12/4-12/27
Adam Milner uses the traces and marks humans leave behind as a departure point for this series of drawings, the artist’s first show of such a vast array of works on paper. The drawings are intimate both in scale and material, using hair, blood, fingernails, and belly button lint to accompany simple marks in ink or graphite. In some works, he automates his body to create a sort of human drawing machine that allows him to produce works rooted in rule and procedure. In another series, he performs analogue image searches by gathering certain types of images from thousands of magazines. Together, this collection of works shows an attention to how the human body is mined, governed, and automated in contemporary life, but with a romance or sensitivity indicative of someone looking for a human connection. adammilner.com Hand-painted props overtake a wall with pattern and sweetness. The girlish whimsy of pinks and saccharine decorative marks gives way to sardonic text and lonely pinups and portraits. "I’m hoping for a kind of stifling, claustrophobic saccharine space, intimating that maturing into my gendered role was not all I’d hoped for or all I was promised.. " -Kirstin Lamb

Sophie Lourdes Knight is an American-born British artist living and working in Oakland, California. She studied at the Wimbledon College of Art in London and California College of the Arts in the San Francisco Bay Area. Using the body as a primary source of inspiration she distorts and flattens the visual plane, carving out a crawlspace between direct references to the body and complete abstractions of it into a space that creates a narrative-less conversation about the act of painting itself. www.sophielourdesknight.com Illumine: Studies in Space is a site responsive solo exhibition by artist Megan Mosholder investigating possibilities for future permanent outdoor installations near Bunker Projects on Penn Avenue.
