Cooperate With The Energy And Anything That Happens
David Patton Los Angeles is pleased to present
Erik Bluhm - "Cooperate With The Energy And Anything That Happens"
12 January—9 February 2008
Reception for the artist on Saturday, 12 January from 7—10 pm
For this show at David Patton Los Angeles, Bluhm will present a number of medium and large-scale collages. The images form symbols and shapes or, as Bluhm describes them, "iconic images and shapes that are forms identifiable as significant, yet only inherently. They withhold too much to qualify as concretely vital, yet in their shapes and designs are embedded the often thorny markers of being, sometimes cryptically representative, sometimes transparent and spiritual."
Bluhm's work has been exhibited at Hiromi Yoshii Gallery in Tokyo, Atelier Cardenas Bellanger Gallery in Paris, and 2841 Harrison in San Francisco. As a founder of The West Coast New Energy Encounter Group—a subset of the greater New Energy movement—Bluhm and his colleagues have presented performances at The Hammer Museum, The Purple Night of the California Biennial at the Orange County Museum of Art, and at Fritz Haeg's Sundown Salon.
