143 Orchard Street
New York, NY 10002

Louis B. James is pleased to present its inaugural exhibition You can never go home anymore, featuring the work of Travis Boyer, Kelly Jazvac, Arnold J. Kemp, and Virginia Poundstone. Through diverse media, the four artists grapple with the materiality and origin of an object, creating subtle transformations and minor displacements. You can never go home anymore is a verbal stumble, a deviation on Thomas Wolfe’s title sung by the Shangri-Las, a story of a regretful runaway whose home has disappeared. The work on view betrays this inconspicuous though definitive shift away from one’s origins.

September 8th - October 30th, 2011

Anna Gray & Ryan Wilson Paulsen present "Don't Worry We'll Fix It" for PICA's annual Time-Based Art Festival. This show will be on view throughout the festival, as a part of the "On Sight" program.

How is it that 115 billion human life stories are distilled into one approximate “history”? Anna Gray & Ryan Wilson Paulsen indirectly approach that question through the establishment of a production office that specializes in redaction and restorative text-work.

The Fix It office will employ a variety of divergent archival and historiographic methods in order to examine the ways that the institution of history is continuously built up and broken down through texts.

The office will both produce the publication September, a daily art historical broadside specially made for TBA:11, and be an active space where the artists will work onsite to correct, revise, and compile errata from previous editions of the paper amidst a new body of their related object-work.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Bonnie Bronson Fund, this exhibition debuts new work by the Bonnie Bronson Fellows, some of the Pacific Northwest’s most influential contemporary artists, including Christine Bourdette, Marie Watt, MK Guth, and Kristy Edmunds. It is the first such gallery event to bring these artists together in one exhibition.

The Lewis & Clark exhibition is the centerpiece of a multi-part tribute to the legacy of Bonnie Bronson.

September 3rd - January 1, 2012

Adam’s meticulously executed landscape paintings shimmer with natural and neon-like colors depicting pseudo-mountains, glaciers, and watery expanses. These new works embrace a current pop-culture aesthetic, but are influenced by a heavy dose of 18th and 19th century Japanese wood block printing. Hiroshige clearly provides a vocabulary for Sorensen’s own story.
