Secret ArtWorks

November 20, 2009

THE WESTIN
GRAND BALLROOM
5 – 9 PM (doors open at 6)

Secret ArtWorks is a fundraising event featuring the exhibition and sale of 5” x 7” works of art from local, national and international artists.  All works of art sell for $75 each. The ‘secret’ behind each piece is the identity of the artist – which is revealed after the work is purchased.  This smashingly successful event was rated by CityBeat readers as top fundraiser of 2007!

Have a Blast: Secret ArtWorks is a really fun party, great networking opportunity and a perfect chance to mix and mingle with friends, community leaders and other arts patrons.

Tickets are $100 and entitle you to one Secret Work of Art, plus music, hors d’oeuvres and beer and wine.  (A cash bar will be available for liquor.) Couples can attend the event for $125 – a party for two and one Secret Work of Art!

Share the Secret: Encourage your friends, family, co-workers and associates to participate as a Secret Artist, Sponsor, or Host/Hostess!

Our Best Machines Are Made of Sunshine
A Sound Sculpture Installation and Solo Exhibition by Jacqueline Gordon

October 23rd – November 20th
Opening reception, October 23rd 8 – 11pm

Gordon’s oeuvre contains installation work as disparate as inviting, womb-like interiors made of plush quilted fabrics and inaccessible, voyeuristic settings behind storefront glass. These seemingly opposite types of spaces merge in her newest installation at Queens Nails Projects: Our Best Machines Are Made of Sunshine. The 4-channel surround sound installation includes 24 speakers of audio sourced from two microphones mounted in front of the gallery.  Gordon’s all-encompassing soundscape is housed in a matrix of white vinyl and speakers that whitewash the gallery walls. Replacing the white cube of the gallery with a white cube of Gordon’s own making, her piece teases out the irony of fascist strains within utopianism.  The work references a gap between the lived experience of barebones environments such as sensory deprivation tanks and geodesic domes, as well as Brutalist architecture and the aspirational rhetoric that surround its production.
