Hello. We are thirdbird.
Thirdbird is the not-entirely-new-but-newly-named wing of Ladybird and Bowerbird. (remember blindspot?) Lately we've been spending a lot of time listening to dances and watching talking bodies. It seems that performers have some 'splainin to do...there is a synergy about wanting to say things and show things at the same time--and that time is two weeks from now. A New Series
Seen & Heard is a series that asks questions about the intersections between dance & music & text. These are sad, funny, manic, structured performances and improvisations, full of ideas and concerned with the conceptual. We are positive that you will mostly like some of them. BLIND DATE
October 7
Five chances at relating-to another field and to one another. Dance and music duos with:
Nichole Canuso & Toshi Makihara; Raphael Xavier & Bobby Zankel; Annie Wilson & Kyle Press;
Levi Gonzalez & Jesse Sparhawk; Beau Hancock & Rosie Langabeer.
INTIMACY, ABUN/DANCE, AND PERMIT

G.T. PELLIZZI
TRANSITIONAL
September 7th - October 16th, 2011
Opening Reception: Sunday September 11th, 4 to 7 pm
Y Gallery is pleased to announce G.T. Pellizzi’s first New York solo exhibition. Transitional examines changes within the geometries of our physical and social environment and the impact these changes have on our formal and cultural vocabularies. The show marks a shift in Pellizzi’s artistic trajectory after years working collectively.
New York is both the stage and the subject for G. T Pellizzi’s new body of work. The city has been a source of inspiration for many artists, such as in Piet Mondrian’s consecutive series, spanning from New York City to Broadway Boogie Woogie. Barnett Newman’s seminal work, Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue and Flavin’s Primary Picture, both reflect how Mondrian’s vision shifts though one generation to the next. As a foundational ground for many artistic movements and innovations, New York City is a stage for these constant cultural transitions. Like a theatre set the very physicality of the city and its real estate developments are constantly in shift as well.
As a center of the global economy, New York is also living a moment of uncertainty. After the economic crisis, largely instigated by the real estate market, and as we come to the ten-year anniversary of the collapse of the twin towers, New York finds itself rebuilding at ground zero, looking to the future, and reconstructing its psyche.
By assimilating the vocabulary of construction sites, Pellizzi’s exhibition makes New York’s ever shifting nature one of its main themes. He appropriates, almost in an objet trouvé style, some of the most ubiquitous visual vocabularies and objects that inflect our daily navigation of the city. The temporary structures and surfaces of solid color (yellow and blue) that frame and mask real estate developments and city projects, inevitably become signifiers of obstruction, struggle, power, profit, and progress. These structures are what Pellizzi describes as “transitional geometries”-- geometries that conceal the content and protect the viewer/public from what lies behind their surfaces.
Continuing his interest in pedagogy, Pellizzi playfully interlaces the histories of the Dadaist readymade, Neo Plasticism, Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism, even touching on “dematerialization” by hinting that the real work is hidden behind the objects on display. The work also brings forth playful relationships between figure and ground, by literally separating the two and putting the latter on the floor; turning one into a volume and the other into a plane. Light and color are ubiquitously present, as are conduits and channels, reflecting structures of the everyday while also creatively sampling some of our biggest preoccupations within artistic practices of our time. (Sue Leponte, NYC 2011)
Giandomenico Tonatiuh Pellizzi (G.T. Pellizzi) was born in 1978 in the state of Morelos, Mexico. He studied philosophy at St Johns College and is a graduate from The Channin School of Architecture at the Cooper Union. From 2001-2011, Pellizzi co-founded and has been involved in various art collectives, with whom he has exhibited at the Whitney Museum of Art, PS1 Moma, Centre Pompidou, PAC Murcia, and the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and various art galleries in New York, Zurich, Berlin and London. Currently he collaborates with several characters of his own making in the guise of different personalities, of which G.T. Pellizzi is one. Pellizzi lives between New York and Mexico. He is currently in transition.

New work by Piety Choi at Highwire Gallery
September 2 - 25, 2011
Opening Reception: Friday September 2, 5-9pm
Highwire’s September exhibit Rising to the Stratosphere is an exhibit of paintings by artist Piety Choi. Piety’s work interprets the human spirit, rising from the depths of the sea to the extreme outreaches of the stratosphere; an expression of freedom and hope that resides in all of us.
Choi, a Korean-born American artist and graduate of the Pennsylania Academy of Fine Arts, brings an Eastern influence to her Western education, painting gritty and sublime abstractions, often incorporating sand as a key medium. Her art is meditative and contemplative, engaging the viewer in a search for eternal meaning. In her artist statement, Piety writes that she seeks “to see movements in stillness; purpose in chaos; hope in hopelessness; divinity in the ordinary.” Rising to the Stratosphere is an invitation to reflect on inner freedom, unbound possibilities, and unyielding hope. Preview her work at www.flickr.com/interiorcastle.
Highwire Gallery also presents Looking for Order by guest artist Karen Steen, in the Annex of the Gallery.
Artist Statement by Karen Steen, September, 2011
Thanks to science, we can see, what according to nature’s design, is invisible to us. There in the microscopic realm, just beneath the surface, it is possible to observe a myriad of intricate forms and systems, interconnected in a sort of glorious dance. We can watch as cells and organisms reach out, touch, separate, cluster, and spread. For me, this small-scale world represents that which is omnipresent, yet overlooked. The feeling that civilization is bearing down and damaging the balance of nature’s elaborate systems, fuels my continued interest in organic forms and their relationships.
My work consists of drawings, collages and relief sculptures. These approaches blend precise drawing or cutting with random changes to papers produced by drips, contact with rust, or immersion in liquid. I play with both repetition and endless variety, features from the world of biology. The small drawings are delicate and meticulously rendered, and call for close examination by the viewer. The collages and reliefs involve the creation and arrangement of shapes in response to my study of all sorts of microscopic and botanical forms. These works are larger, abstract, and more playful than the drawings. I integrate numerous materials into the collages and reliefs, including string, colored mesh, fiberglass screen, wood, and plexiglass. Several pieces in this exhibition are a result of my exploration into black and white.
Hours: Friday, Saturday and Sunday 12-4 pm
