FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW LOCATION: Jessica Murray Projects is pleased to announce our NEW CHELSEA LOCATION, opening Friday, October 22, 2004. Our new contact information will be: 150 Eleventh Avenue (between 21st and 22nd Streets) With our move, we are also pleased to announce the appointment of Jessica Lin Cox as the gallery’s new Assistant Director. Jessica has worked on special projects for Jessica Murray Projects, including overseeing the website, representing the gallery at the NADA Art Fair 2003 in Miami, and co-curating the summer 2004 exhibition Grotto II. We are delighted to welcome her in this new position. EXHIBITION SCHEDULE: BRADY DOLLARHIDE – October 22 through November 17 Our inaugural exhibition, Enchantment Enhancement, featuring new paintings by Brady Dollarhide, will open Friday, October 22, 2004 with a reception from 6 – 8 pm and will run through November 17. New gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11 – 6 pm. Continuing Dollarhide’s investigation of the connection between portraiture and landscape, this new body of paintings evolves from the earlier works’ personal and self-searching disposition to a larger, social, post-apocalyptic mood. Expanding the artist’s vocabulary of black-silhouetted poles, cords and trees, Dollarhide adds exploding fences, extended caution tape, and discarded umbrellas. Further layers of mist, sun and water create a seductive filmic space for the viewer to penetrate. As if arriving upon the scene of an accident or natural disaster, the viewer encounters these scenes prior to explanation. Dollarhide’s first solo exhibition, I'm Only Now, was presented at Jessica Murray Projects in 2002. His work has been included at the Brooklyn Museum of Art and reviewed in The New York Times and Art & Antiques. ANN PIBAL – November 19 through December 22 Pibal’s meticulous abstractions vibrate in chocolate, vintage rose and turquoise. Recalling the work of artists such as Kenneth Noland, Frank Stella and Donald Judd, Pibal works in a smaller more intimate scale, embracing colors from current trends in fashion and home décor. Pibal arrives at failed perfection in her compositions of chevrons, unzipping stripes, and targets. Pibal’s work has been included in exhibitions at MASS MOCA (North Adams, MA), the Albright Knox Art Museum (Buffalo, NY), the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College (Saratoga Springs, NY), and the Drawing Center (New York, NY). Pibal has been awarded artist residencies at Yaddo (2004), Cité International des Arts, Paris (2002), and the MacDowell Colony (2001). GALLERY ARTISTS: Alec Dartley, Daniel Davidson, Brady Dollarhide, Chris Doyle, Jackie Gendel, David McMurray, Ann Pibal, Vicki Sher, Koji Shimizu, Karina Aguilera Skvirksy, Mark Dean Veca, and Judi Werthein.
