Hell Follows a Pale Horse, and other tales from a dream October 3, 2008

The Pierpont Commons Juried Exhibition Winner
Adam Gabriel Winnie presents his solo exhibition:

"Hell Follows a Pale Horse, and other tales from a dream"

The exhibition features a new installation work composed of large scale photo montages, glass photographs and sculpture which stretch 70ft. Drawing from images spanning 4 years, Adam has reconstructed new meaning from the old. Utilizing a large format xerox copier, montages were created using repeated combinations of
scanning, printing, rearranging to create huge works on paper.

Each fragment of the exhibit is intended to work together and play off the other, as sentences to a paragraph would. But this paragraph is recited in a dream state, clear as day to the subconscious but muffled to the ear.

The singular sculpture piece in the exhibit, titled "For Lautréamont" has a chilling presence. The work is a 3ftx3ftx3ft glass case enclosing a pile of cast cow femurs next to a small vial of the artists blood.

The recurrent themes of the physicality of being, death, and the human condition play out in a landscaped of paper and glass. The soft, delicate quality of paper mimics that of human flesh while the rigid yet fragile attributes of glass relate to bone.

As Adam prepares for a move to Georgia next August this exhibition will mark his final solo show in Michigan.
