Untitled Gallery, NYC 6.30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. On Monday, February 28th, ICI welcomes you to New Yorks lower east side to join artist Brendan Fowler for a preview of his premier exhibition at Untitled Gallery (the brand new space of Rental Gallerys Joel Mesler.) Brendan Fowlers complicated and carefully considered artworks span mediums. During this visit we will further explore the visual side of Fowlers work, who is often known best for his rock act/performance art piece, titled BARR. We hope you will join us for this exciting look at the artists new object-based works that are currently and increasingly grabbing the attention of the art world. As with his music, Fowlers visual productions operate in a series of aggressive negations and reassertionsoften one image literally crashing through or canceling out another, but only to have the second image further the narrative of the first. Sound confusing? It really isnt. CHRISTOPHER BOLLEN, Interview Magazine, 2010. Brendan Fowler lives and works in Los Angeles. He received a BFA in 2002 from Sarah Lawrence College.
