This is a single-channel video and audio piece. Using a week’s worth of television footage from the monologue portions of David Letterman’s and Jay Leno’s television programs, the two talkshow hosts are paired on a single split screen delivering their commentary. With their actual speech edited out, sporadic laugh tracks and similar body gestures create a subtle visual and audio pattern as a point of comparison.

Northwards with Benny Alba, prints
Contemporary California artist Benny Alba’s driving trip through Canada into Alaska brings landscapes of silver lakes and skies, black mountains and windy vistas to ARC Gallery. Illusions of deceptively simple prints balance dark mountains and shimmering silver waters. Benny Alba will attend the reception on Friday, November 3, probably in a cow costume. Alba’s works are in national and international collections, including nine museums.

Gaines works in both a traditional on-location mode in her landscape and portrait work and also in a three-dimensional manner in which the paper is virtually “vivisected” and re-attached in varying layers to a firmer surface. This method of working enables the artist to infuse abstraction into her compositions and can allow the viewer more access to the complexity of her thoughts in regard to the balancing of the spiritual with the physical.

Modern Ruins, photography
Although he takes photographs of the landscape, Zoghlin is not interested in capturing breathtaking views of natural beauty. On the contrary, he often notices the unseemly aspects of America-an oil refinery in Indiana, a defunct nuclear power plant in Washington, or abandoned oil wells in Texas. Zoghlin photographs these sites because they are the marks made by human technology on the landscape. He wants to make us aware of the vast influence of the industrail age on the country’s land, for better or for worse.

In these paintings, drawings and sculptures you see many different graphic languages, personal visual lexicons which, when translated, speak to that same striving for the mysterious, elemental and all-inclusive Other. Both universal and personal, this is the essence of iconographic art.
