Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe (4 May - 3 June, 2006)
Gray Kapernekas Gallery, New York
Gilbert-Rolfe’s critical writings on painting and abstraction have been influential for the past few decades, informing discourse around beauty and the role of painting in a post-Modern context. “I was asked recently what my writing about art and associated matters has to do with my painting,” says Gilbert-Rolfe, “and I said that since the 1980s I’ve been writing about the same forces that my painting tends to be about: beauty rather than brutality, attractiveness rather than argument.

Gray Kapernekas Gallery, New York
This exhibition by David
Cabrera featured new works on paper and photography by
David Cabrera. Taking visual cues from Modernism’s legacies of abstraction
and documentary-style photography, Cabrera transforms personal

are constructed and regenerated in culture-at-large, through
serialized form, hand-crafted process, and color.

Sounds Like the Sound of Music
Bruce Yonemoto
9 September - 9 October, 2005
Gray Kapernekas Gallery, New York
Sounds Like The Sound of Music draws from two distinct and seemingly unrelated Hollywood film classics, George Lucas’ Star Wars trilogy and Robert Wise’s 1965 musical, The Sound of Music. Both films express Hollywood’s associations to political narratives of their times: The Sound of Music dramatized Post-War nostalgia for European ideals at the dawn of the Nazi regime; and Star Wars&
rsquo; depiction of “good vs. evil” ethos surrounding the final years of the Cold-War era.

and a wall installation, which highlighted the artist's ongoing interest in the
visual manifestations of language. Rosen, was trained as a linguist before embarking on a 30 year career as an artist.
