"This first monograph on Canadian artist Steven Shearer plunges the reader into the phenomenally versatile work he creates based on material in his extensive image bank of some 36,000 JPEGs of clippings, Xeroxes, and found photos. Shearer's obsession is his own development as a teenaged boy, and issues around teen identity and social class. The works presented here -- a mix of paintings, posters, highly intricate photo-collages, drawings and written poems, from his 2007 exhibitions at Ikon and The Power Plant galleries -- while animated by the culture of Heavy Metal music, ultimately reveal the need to belong that helps define the human condition, especially during adolescence." Essays by curators Nigel Prince, Helena Reckitt, and Nancy Tousley. 144 pages; color plates and text illustrations throughout; 9 x 11.25 inches. Plate list.…

Paperback. Etat : New. Adopting and elaborating upon stylistic repertoires drawn from the history of figure painting, Steven Shearer makes formal and thematic parallels between art history and the iconography associated with various contemporary subcultures including their modes of dissemination such as fanzines and image shrines on personal websites. He is interested in how contemporary society unconsciously echoes specific manners of appearance that have been explored by historical movements or schools. Seen in this light, the resemblance between the long, flowing hair of his metal-head rockers and the tresses of Pre-Raphaelite heroines is not fortuitous. Central to Shearer's work is his ongoing compilation of an archive of thousands of images culled from magazines, songs and the internet. In his paintings, text-based works, sculptures and photographic compilations, these sources function generatively as they are combined and recycled across his works. By showing us aspects of popular culture anachronistically, Shearer exposes the false hierarchy of high and low art and prompts us to consider the differences between the cultural industries and the art world.…

"The exhibition includes work from seventeen galleries located in the East Village or the area east of Second Avenue, just below Houston Street: CASH, Christminster, Civilian Warfare, East 7th Street Gallery. Executive Gallery, 51 X, Fun Gallery, Garet/ Kohn Gallery, Gracie Mansion. International with Monument, Nature Morte, New Math, Oggi-Domani, Pat Hearn. Piezo Electric, P.P.O.W. and Sharpe Gallery. Work by artists associated with the galleries have been selected by the individual gallery directors, and Helene Winer, organizer of the exhibition. Helene Winer is a past Director of Artists Space and currently co-owner of Metro Pictures a commercial gallery in SoHo. As part of Artists Space''''s celebration of its 10th anniversary season, she has organized this exhibition to examine a growing number of artist organized commercial exhibition spaces. Ms. Winer''''s past experience with the non-profit art community and her present position in the commercial art world offer a unique outlook on this new trend. In keeping with Artists Space''''s support of new art through both its Exhibition Program and Grants Program, NEW GALLERIES OF THE LOWER EAST SIDE is a look at a new outlet for emerging art: an outlet which straddles the lines between the artists cooperative, the non-profit alternative space, the artist organized independent exhibition and the commercial gallery. NEW GALLERIES OF THE LOWER EAST SIDE acknowledges the recent appearance and rapid proliferation of more than twenty commercial art galleries that are introducing new artists and art. This phenomenon has created overnight, it seems, active new exhibition outlets for artists, an on-going vehicle for massive social opening events, a Sunday activity for the art audience, a new map in the Gallery Guide and a new focus of excitement and energy in the art community. The galleries are now numerous and offer more than the aesthetic that was first presented by the pioneers (Gracie Mansion, Fun Gallery and 51 X) and which has come to be associated with the East Village. They are very professional enterprises that intend to provide serious support and attention to the artists they show. Many of the galleries are artist owned. The artist/owners who converted storefronts to studios have now converted these studios to galleries. Most of these owners work at jobs separate from the gallery to support the activity and many live ''''behind the shop." The East Village Eye and New York Beat play the role that the SoHo News and the Village Voice did for SoHo and Tribeca. The East Village and the Lower East Side of New York has been an area many artists moved to, since SoHo and then Tribeca have been increasingly gentrified, a fate that may now befall the East Village itself. Over the years the art community has found ''''alternative'''' means of creating needed opportunities for artists to exhibit their work to at least their peers, and occasionally to a broader audience. In the fifties. New York artists opened cooperative galleries on Tenth Street. Later, alternative spaces opened with government funding: commercial galleries moved from Uptown to Downtown for both space and accessibility to the artists. community artists organized their own temporary exhibitions such as the Times Square Show, and now, in a period of two years, some 25 commercial galleries have opened on the Lower East Side, the majority in 1983."--from exhibition press release Very Good / Fine.
