Tyler Kline - May 2nd

April 29, 2009

Just got this artist statement from Mr. Kline concerning his upcoming show here. Opens next Thursday, stop in to see the final step of his trilogy. We cant wait to be a part of it.

Silkworm, an installation of aluminum foil, paper moths and recycled material, presents a complicated relation to beauty best illuminated by the term Grotesque Romanticism. A ruined cathedral reclaimed by the primordial forest gives birth to a swarm of Rorschach Moths. The Swarm creates patterns within the gallery space; a type of nocturnal cartography emerges from the gestalt.
This installation represents the third part of a trilogy, begun with the Camp X-Ray installation at the Best Coast show in 2003(curated by Jeff Jahn), further developed in the These Ghost that Haunt Us installation at Little Berlin in Philadelphia, and reaching its terminal conclusion at TheLife in Portland, OR.
