Dave Miko and Tom Thayer: New World Pig January 14, 2011

This collaborative exhibition features Dave Miko's enamel on aluminum paintings and Tom Thayer's stop-motion animation videos. Working separately but in tandem, the artists have juxtaposed the loose, abstract vocabulary of Miko's paintings with Thayer's supersaturated colors and lo-fi image quality derived from his use of antiquated video technology along with current digital processes. The result is an evocative, immersive installation that tells a story that is part fable, part post-apocalyptic tale about a hunter, his dog, and the pig they are hunting amid a desolate landscape.
