No Other Medicine & Hunter open studios

Have two really cool events coming up- First, this Thursday evening is the reception for "No Other Medicine", an exhibition curated by graduate students from FIT's Art Market program. They are a group of young curators & gallerists, and i'm very pleased to be included in their thesis exhibition. It's located at a great space on the lower east side. Then on Friday evening & Saturday afternoon, Hunter will be having open studios at the MFA building in midtown. I'll be showing some new work & experiments, in my studio 616. I've posted all information about the events below.

Allegory & Fantasy write-up

My solo show at the Hopper House got a nice write-up in a local Nyack newspaper The Journal News- you can read it here. Also received this flattering review from a viewer, which I appreciate very much.

Edward Hopper House Art Center

Thrilled to announce my upcoming solo exhibition: "Max Greis: Allegory & Fantasy in Nature" at the Edward Hopper House Art Center, in Nyack, NY. Opening reception this Saturday March 31, 5-7pm, running through May 13. Gallery hours are Thurs-Sun, 1-5pm, or by appointment. The family and childhood home of Edward Hopper, where he grew up until his 20's. They have some of his earliest work, art tools and family heirlooms. In separate exhibition rooms within the house, I will be displaying several paintings and a video.

The BRIColeurs

Excited to be participating in The Bricoleurs at the BRIC Rotunda Gallery, in downtown Brooklyn. Founded in 1981, the Rotunda Gallery is the oldest continuously operating contemporary art space in Brooklyn. Bricolage, "to make creative and resourceful use of whatever materials are at hand (regardless of their original purpose)", was a term made popular in the Claude Lévi-Strauss book Pensée Sauvage. I have four paintings and one video piece in this exhibition.

More videos from the InLight festival

Here are some more videos from my contribution to the InLight festival in Richmond, VA. Both relate to the history of Tredegar, a former iron works & civil war battle site.





Note- the background sounds are from different artist installations. For more of my video work, check out my vimeo channel.

Recollections at Tredegar - InLight Festival 2011

This was one of my video installations at the InLight festival in Richmond, VA. Recollections at Tredegar #1 explored the site's history as a canon manufacturer for the Confederacy during the Civil War. The videos were projected onto the brick ruins of Tredegar Iron Works, which is now a historical landmark & museum. (note- the background sounds are from a separate artist installation). For more of my video work, check out my vimeo channel.
