Vision Sleep A Bad Bad Xmas for Cursed Earth! July 26, 2007

SUNDAY is pleased to announce the pairing of a sculptural installation by New York-based emerging artist Hilary A. Baldwin and drawings by the late Louisiana-based artist Royal Robertson.

Seen together the works of these two artists with greatly differing
backgrounds present an intensely personal narrative of everyday life:
Baldwin as a haunted gatherer of forgotten human traces and Robertson as the author of an autobiographical collection of drawings that chronicle his memories, dreams, and emotional states. Beneath the unsettling surfaces of Baldwin¹s objects and Robertson¹s scrawls lies the palpable essence of humanity: grief, anger, loneliness, and vulnerability.

Hilary A. Baldwin (b. 1978, Brookline, MA) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She received a MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore. Her installation entited don't let nobody get you mad was featured in the gallery¹s project space in October. In addition, she has been included in group exhibitions in Brooklyn and throughout New England.
Royal Robertson (1936-1997) lived and worked in Baldwin, LA. Trained as a commercial sign painter, that artist is rumored to have studied studio art via a correspondence course that he saw advertised on the back of a matchbook. In addition to his prolific collection of drawings, he created a dynamic installation of signs upon the interior and exterior of his home, which was eventually destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. His work has been extensively exhibited and is widely collected across the United States and Europe. His work is included in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

In the project space: "SUNDAY is pleased to present The Singer Sucks, but the Band...Finding the Good in an Otherwise Dismal World" curated by Austin-based artist Erick Michaud. Presented back to back on a reel, the exhibition includes video works by: David Askevold, Benjamin Dowell, Patricia Esquivias, Victoria Fu, Zerek Kempf, Benjamin Kinsley, Luke Lamborn, Lilly McElroy, John Mata, Erick Michaud, Eduardo Navarro, Alexandre Singh, Michael Smith, Jared Steffensen, Regina Vater, and William Wegman.
