Closing Time

11AM ON 13/03/2009
BY Annie Messier

untitled What goes up must come down, particularly art.  If you can’t wait for the closing party of “Textual Nature” at Chazan next Thursday night, you can start tonight with a get-‘er-(ho)down* at 5 Traverse Gallery celebrating the closing week of two great exhibitions.

Jon Lautsen explores construction on a small scale.  I don’t know the title of the pictured piece, but it reminded me of his recent exhibit at the RISD Biennial Alumni Art Show in Watertown—elaborate for its size, and questioning both what’s present and what’s to come.  His current exhibit, “How to Hold On,” uses floors and walls of 5 Traverse to accomplish this task.

Magaly Ponce works with time-based media, typically combining videos, the web and installations to comment on anything from poetry to politics.  She is lauded for consistently exemplifying a love for both audio and visual images, and her installation, “From Remains,” magnifies tiny things onto large rice paper scrolls, accompanied with videos, to blow you away.

The festivities will be thoroughly enhanced by Tim O’Keefe’s fantastic DJing.

Tonight (Friday, 3/13), 5 Traverse Street, Providence, 7-9 p.m., free

*Sorry for making up stupid phrases like “get-‘er-(ho)down.”  My own title put that cursed Semisonic song in my head, and now I can’t think straight.  The actual title of tonight’s closing party is “End of Winter”—but last time The Dose flipped off winter, we got 11 inches of snow, so I didn’t want to tempt fate.
