Curatorial Statement
Exploring the visual realm of dreams, recollections, and fantasies, Emotional Landscape presents the work of 13 artists who understand the psychological power of place. Situating their narratives around forests, deserts, mountains, and seas, they create a sense of mystery with representational imagery of a slightly strange sort.
Including: Megan Cump, Satoru Eguchi, Anthony Goicolea, Elizabeth Huey, Min Kim, Margaret Lee, Charlene Liu, Jon Rosenbaum, Lisa Sanditz, Erika Somogyi, Diana Shpungin & Nicole Engelmann, and Michelle Weinberg.
Paul Laster and Renée Riccardo are the 2005 recipients of the Lori Ledis Memorial Award for Curatorial Initiative, a program to foster curatorial talent in the field of contemporary art. Paul Laster is an editor at Art Asia Pacific, Artkrush.com and Boldtype.com. Renée Riccardo is an independent curator who founded ARENA, a gallery exhibiting emerging artists from 1991-2003. Laster and Riccardo are former Adjunct Curators of Photography at P.S.1. Their recent shows include Word at the Bronx River Arts Center and Me, Myself & I at Florida Atlantic University Gallery, Boca Raton. A concurrent show, It's a Beautiful Day, is on view at the Ise Cultural Foundation Gallery in SoHo from January 6 through February 25, 2006.
