Pierogi

Pierogi, founded in 1994, features the work of emerging and mid-career artists in an eclectic range Pierogi was founded in 1994 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

We feature the work of emerging and mid-career artists engaging in conceptually-driven, process-oriented work in a wide range of media: from Mark Lombardi’s iconic diagrammatic drawings charting power, politics, and money; Mexican-American Hugo Crosthwaite’s cross-cultural murals, drawings, and video portraits (he is the National Portrait Gallery 2019 Outwin Boochever Award Winner); Ward Shelley’s

collaborative performance installations; Dawn Clements’ simultaneously massive and intimate panoramic works; and curated exhibitions such as the award-winning “Dead Tree” installation (a recreation of Robert Smithson’s work shown in Dusseldorf’s Kunsthalle, 1969). The BOILER, Pierogi’s satellite exhibition space opened in March 2009, is a more expansive space that allows us to mount large-scale sculpture, painting, and installation exhibitions. It is a former factory boiler room with 35-foot ceilings where we also hold performances, screenings, and other events. The Flat Files, another important element of Pierogi, house portfolios of original works by 750+ artists. The traveling Flat Files have been exhibited in London, Vienna, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and elsewhere. Early in 2009 Pierogi launched a searchable online version of the Flat Files.

If you happen to be in Montreal check out Jonathan Schipper’s “Slow-Motion Car Crash (Slow Inevitable Death of American Muscle)” installation included in the 6th International Digital Art Biennial at Arsenal Contemporary Art Montreal on view December 1, 2022 through February 5, 2023.
“Presented by ELEKTRA since 2012, the International Digital Art Biennial (BIAN) is back for a 6th edition this winter at Arsenal Contemporary Art Montreal. Our major exhibition, entirely dedicated to contemporary digital art, will be held from December 1, 2022 to February 5, 2023.

To close this cycle around metamorphosis, 27 artists from 4 continents will address the process of MUTATION, through the mobility and movement of human beings, ideas or identities. This exhibition offers a reflection on the transition that we must accomplish in this post-pandemic era disrupted both geopolitically and climatically. By taking a look at our time while trying to anticipate the consequences of our past and future decisions, these artists are in a way pathfinders, messengers.

BIAN 6, curated by Alain Thibault in the METAMORPHOSIS series which was co-curated with DooEun Choi, guest curator of BIAN 5.”

Special thanks to the West Collection for loaning this work to the exhibition.

Congratulations to Hugo Crosthwaite on the upcoming exhibition of his newly commissioned portrait of Anthony S. Fauci for the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery’s “Portrait of a Nation: 2022 Honorees” opening Nov. 10, 2022 in Wash. D.C. and on view through 2023. His portrait, a year in the making, consists of a five-minute stop-motion animation film made from hundreds of drawn images depicting a trajectory of Fauci’s life and career, from his role in the AIDS crisis of the 1980s to the pandemic of 2020.

Crosthwaite was the First Prize recipient of the 2019 Outwin Boochever American Portrait Competition at the National Portrait Gallery, Washington D.C. for his stop-motion animation portraying migrant Berenice Sariento Chávez.

The phrase “Make Love Not War” became popular during the mid-1960s counterculture, anti-war movement. Love and peace as alternative to war. John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s “Bed Peace” (1969) is a well-known example of artists employing this idea.

“Make Art Not War,” the text work included here, was created in 1997 by artist Bob and Roberta Smith as part of his solo exhibition at London’s Chisenhale Gallery. According to Smith, the origin of this phrase was his father, an artist and World War II veteran. “… [O]n his deathbed he said to me, ‘Make art, not war. Don’t hate, draw.’” (Smith, 1997)

Artworks will be added throughout the exhibition in an ongoing manner.

“If the digital filter asserts itself through much of Esber’s oeuvre, it is tempered through a decidedly analog love of material and surface. No doubt it is a love shared by many at the forefront of today’s figurative resurgence. However, unlike the work of Chason Matthams, Sascha Braunig, and Emily Mae Smith, Esber’s paintings are less frequently concerned with volumetric form than the figure’s precarious balance between digital disintegration and material reconstitution. Ultimately, this tension animates many of Esber’s projects, and enables him to ricochet between surrealist riffs, Cubist fractures, Photoshop smears, comics-style flatness, and painting’s agitated physical life.” (—David Geers )

“The sparks that drive my work are the pawed-over icons of popular culture, some stuck in my head since childhood. The list includes sugary-sweet Hummel figurines, cowboys, war photos, crushed cars, po*******hy, and Tricky Dick Nixon. Gathering these images and subjecting them to a variety of digital contortions, I remake them as paintings and drawings through a process of hyperbolic mark-making. When you look at my paintings, you’re looking at images resurrected and reconstructed.” (Esber )
