David Colosi: The Proof

Artist's Reception: Thursday, October 9, 6pm

October 7—11, Exhibition Hours 11am—7pm

David Colosi's large-scale installations have been featured in Brussels at Galerie Catherine Bastide (2007); in Switzerland in Art Statements at Art Basel (2005); in Miami in Art Positions at Art Basel Miami Beach (2004); in Tokyo in the Floating Gallery (1994); and in Los Angeles at Highways Performance Space Gallery (1992). His drawings have been featured in international art fairs and in exhibitions in New York at Jeff Bailey Gallery (2003) and in Miami at Dorsch Gallery (2002). He has participated in collaborations in Japan with the performance group DAM at the Proto Theater, Tokyo, (1992) and with the Kamepao Project Team in Shizouka (1999). His poetry has been published by Left Hand Books as Laughing Blood: Selected Poems 1987-2003 and anthologized in From Totems to Hip-Hop: a Multicultural Anthology of Poetry Across the Americas, 1900-2002, edited and selected by Ishmael Reed. He has read and performed his writing in NYC at the Bowery Poetry Club, KGB Bar, Tonic, and Greene Naftali Gallery; in Florida in residence at the Atlantic Center for the Arts; and in Los Angeles at Highways and Beyond Baroque. In 2006 he founded The Center for Three-Dimensional Literature.

During his residency David will be working on a Three-Dimensional Literature work called The Proof, which will transform the Project Space into the physical interior of a mathematical equation. The laboratory and labor used to generate the equation will remain, but the scientist/mathematician will be absent. The viewer entering the space will serve as the variable X, executing the proof by his/her entrance.

Join the artist at a reception for this new installation work on Thursday, October 9 at 6pm. No RSVP required; please bring photo ID.
