Tunneling Curated by William Pappenheimer at FAMOUS ACCOUNTANTS

This group show marks both the end of the summer and beginning of the new season of gallery happenings. " Tunneling" is a title selected by Pappenheimer as a symbol of an exploratory process. Often ignored or overlooked, many eccentric and obsessive artists continue in solitary digging deep into their subjects and media with startling results. In a virtuoso manipulation of "New Media" Luke Murphy appropriates Albert Pinkham Ryder's The Race Track (Death on a Pale Horse), and using computer technology, stretches its pixels to a mile in length. The mind-bending tedium involved in the fabrication of Meg Hitchcock's collages induces a brief period of meditative contemplation just to perceive. Designing a logo hacking iphone app, Mark Skwarek and Joseph Hocking remind users of their own complicity in the BP Gulf oil blowout.. Features an interview with curator William Pappenheimer.

This is kind of sick, but I was kind of hoping one of those singers would fall off their plywood pedestals/platform. LOL As far as the show, the "pale horse", very cool. The random dice makes my mind hurt, but that is my problem. LOVE the text collages. WOW! BP logo gushing icon, OMG!!! I can't even believe that. Unfreakin believable! I am sure the rest was great too, but I am a bit ADHD with an attention span of about 5 minutes. I will have to check out the last half of the show later. LOL
