HAPPY HALLOWEEN
This Place In Time
Whether physical, social, cultural, or philosophical, the concept of “space” has obsessed humankind for centuries. Within the field of visual art, an interest in space has been a prominent thread in the generation of creators emergent from the 1970s through to the 1980s. The artists assembled in This Place in Time have each invested in the boundless, definition-evading idea of “space”. Not only does the content of these works focus on unpicking the attendant theme, but also the variety of media on view allow audience members to question how subjectivity plays out in the space defined by the plane of the page, the surface of a sculpture, and the interstitial areas between.

Successive Interruptions
“Successive Interruptions” by MARISSA TEXTOR
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 14, 2011 / 7-11PM
May 14 – June 4, 2011
Guerrero Gallery is pleased to present “Successive Interruptions”, a new body of works by Marissa Textor. Influenced by the ephemeral nature of both human emotion and the wild environment, Textor utilizes concepts from landscape painting to transform the subject matter of her pieces into living and evolving entities through which human identity can be explored and understood.
With a focus on the timeless authenticity of natural forms, Textor avoids man-made and industrial aspects that lock landscapes to a specific time period. Her aim is to present universal images that people can identify and relate to, which are also mysterious and inspiring to the unknown. By obscuring some components of her landscapes, through the integration of natural weather elements and negative space, Textor layers a sense of confusion over photo-realistically recognizable imagery.
Capturing and preserving transitory moments in a world that is constantly moving onward, Textor’s deep connection with photography serves as the backbone of her creative process. By utilizing photo-realistic imagery, she is able to straddle the line between straight documentation and subjective fiction in order to formulate narratives that address and communicate her objectives.
