Only a few hours left today, and then tomorrow is the final day of the excellent exhibitions at 5 Traverse Gallery. Artist David Barnes (this work is oil on aluminum) takes images familiar to us from the world news and renders them unfamiliar and gloomy with livid, acidy tones. In the next room is Cypheromantic, an installation by Michael Bizon who used found objects from the Olneyville area, including a wall of sound (picture after the jump) he constructed using speakers from an abandoned school. Talk about the shock of the familiar. (The show was reviewed here when it opened.)
Come meet David Barnes on Sunday between 2pm and 4pm.
Sunday last day of show, noon to 6pm, 5 Traverse Street
Part of installation by Michael Bizon — working speakers he scavenged from an abandoned school. It’s hard to see here, but the details and fabrication is really nice.
… and free coffee to boot.
