Iao PROJECTS and The Conference Room Gallery at Meeting <2.2>
Park City, UT. January 9, 2009 -- The Conference Room Gallery and Iao PROJECTS will be co-hosting the construction of an exhibition space built entirely out of snow called the Temporary Contemporary Snow Gallery. This will be the first time any attempt to construct a gallery out this particular molecular state rather than completely solid ice. The goal is to create negative space out of the positive using the physical snow that is abundant within the Utah area during the winter months.
Keeping within the spirit of the Sundance Film Festival, both galleries feel that exhibiting the works in such a way allows for a deeper interpretation as to how art relates to nature as well as its underlying process. Having such cutting-edge works displayed within the snow juxtaposes the idea of a spontaneously built environment while adapting to nontraditional architecture and materials.
Unlike an art fair setting where curated galleries obtain a pre-set amount of space and thus are confined to constraints or working within the allotted size, using snow enables flexibility and opportunity for changing the surroundings while retaining the integrity of the structure for this conceptual art project. Entire hotels, bars, and cafes have been constructed out of ice but never has a contemporary art gallery displayed works within the context of snow.
Both, The Conference Room Gallery and Iao PROJECTS, will be featuring artists’ works that are sustainable within these conditions and are constructed or created site-specific for the intent of exhibiting their work within such an unusual environment. This temporary installation will become the most provocative collaboration between landscape and traditional artworks, challenging the norms of the current art world.
Meeting <2.2> “In the Freezer” at the Temporary Contemporary Snow Gallery will be pushing the boundaries of the idea of a gallery as form of literal white cube.
Artist list available upon request.
No snow will be harmed in the construction of this innovative temporary gallery.

Hildebrandt in "To the Teeth" Group Exhibition at the Amalie Rothschild Gallery
Opens Fri Feb 6 w/ CA Studios Open House, 6-9pm. On view Feb 5-21
Free.
Free.
Whether it’s with paint, pixels, or pointed humor, the artists gathered in this exhibition – CA Residents, along with colleagues they’ve invited - wield their instruments with tenacity, ferocity, and efficiency. Organized by current resident Lauren Boilini, with alum Erin Cluley, each artist submits a new piece on the theme.
Hildebrandt in The Rumors Are True Exhibition
Opens Sat Jan 17, 5-7pm. Performance 6pm. On view Jan 17-Feb 21
Free.
Free.
With paintings, performances, and other creative investigations, Resident Artists Christine Sajecki and Megan Hildebrandt decode the changing dynamics of their neighborhood habitat. Dressed like a 1940’s washer woman, Hildebrandt has spent months asking residents if she can polish their marble steps, gently shocking her “audience” into reevaluating their sense of community through a simple act of generosity and humor. With a cornucopia of sweetly irreverent paintings, Hildebrandt pays tribute to long gone local personalities – from the ship captain who slept in Patterson Park at night, to the brothers who founded Haussner’s restaurant. Christine Sajecki’s encaustic paintings reflect a more poetic sensibility. Hazy buildings with wire antennas loom behind layers of beeswax, while images of Peruvian and Mexican ruins, East European alphabets, and Catholic imagery are overlaid and assembled to evoke a community where the history of place and the histories of people are interwoven, and where generations of immigrants rub shoulders every day.

Karcz's Statement About His Work
Is it difficult to be an artist in the era of post-Postmodernism? Is
there any room for art in the crowd of icons, designs, and ideologies? The
development of new technologies is connected with the development of mass
media. Willing or not, we should accept the new aspects of the reality.
Contemporary wars basically are medial. Of course, people die not only on
the screens of our television sets. On fact, they die not only in wars,
but, also, during sporting games and popular street parades. Accidents
happen to people because of their lack of imagination. We not only are the
witnesses of events, but, also, the participants.
Karcz is interested in different aspects of the reality. She concentrates
on social issues and doesnt like conventional forms. He likes
provocation. The series of his graphic pictures reveals her interest in
such subjects as riot and heavenl peace, fun or love/loveless.
Keywords: the era of post-Postmodernism . But the artist always says :
what does it mean, i dont know, really...
