UPCOMING:
Generative by Alex Dodge
June 11 - July 19, 2010
Opening Reception: THURSDAY, June 10, 7-9PM
Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery
483 Union Ave, Brooklyn NY 11211
718-383-7309
Alex Dodge's third solo show with the gallery extends the artist's interest in the relationships between humanity, technology, art, and design by presenting a collection of concept prototypes developed in collaboration with Brooklyn-based tech start up Generative.
Each of these works address the notion of passive interfacing; engaging the human body through acquiescent means. While some works appear inspired by science fiction, such as his Sleep Talker dream
interface, which intends to allow users communication with others while sleeping, other works are perhaps more accessibly clear-cut, like Dodge's shoes that generate electricity with each walking step.
Generative began as a conceptual project founded in 2009 by Dodge along with Akira Shibata, a particle physicist known for his work on the Atlas project at the Large Hadron Collider, and Yohei Ishii, who has worked extensively in the video game industry. The three founded Generative as an independent research and development lab focused on mobile technology and visualization.
Alex Dodge received a BFA in Painting from Rhode Island School of Design in 2001. His work is included in numerous public collections including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Fine Art Boston, and the New York Public Library. He lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Croft, Michel Demanche, Jordan Eagles, Cui Fei, Young Kim, Norman Mooney and Zane York. The public reception at the gallery's 92 Wythe Ave location will take place on Friday July 16th from 6- 9 pm. The public is invited to attend this event and visit the gallery during regular hours, Wed - Sat 11 am - 7 pm, Sun 12 - 6 pm and Mon 9 am to 5 pm.
Coincidental Opposites comes from the latin phrase "coincidentia oppositorum" and is a term used to describe the polarities or yin and yang of the universe. Latin is not however the first language in which these terms were coined but rather in archaic Chinese when the 6th century B.C. philosopher, Lao Tze began to suggest that "there can be no love without hate, no light without dark, no male without female." The eight artists within the exhibition explore either obliquely through references or directly with their materials/symbols the coincidental opposites of beauty and the grotesque, permanence and impermanence, attraction and repulsion, solid and non solid, soft and hard, yielding and lethal as well as full and empty. Within their art, each of the eight artists utilize the coincidental opposites to help them approach the sublime, react to events in the world around them and or give birth to new ideas or thought processes.
