TDC & Michael Imperioli to host Robert Pollard art exhibit
November 16th, 2007
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Rich Turiel
rnt65@yahoo.com
STUDIO DANTE, New York City- "Do The Collage", the debut art
exhibit featuring the noted collage works of ROBERT POLLARD,
will be held December 9th and 10th, 2007.
Pollard’s exhibition will consist of more than 50 collages that
date from 1990 through 2007. Using elements from 1950’s -70’s
era magazines, pamphlets and obscure pictoral paperbacks as his
primary tools, he portrays allegorical personas and
hallucinogenic-type environments to create small, almost random
synapses of unmistakable compositions with sardonic titles, each
serving as a story unto itself. The Artist’s media utilizes the
archetypes of the working class, becoming pawn deities and
martyrs found within the strata of near fantasy religion and the
collective unconscious. Most of these works were used as album
art for Pollard’s own music releases throughout the same time
period.
Do The Collage is being hosted by two close friends of Pollard:
visual artist Todd DiCiurcio and actor Michael Imperioli, who,
along with his wife Victoria, are the Artistic Directors of
Studio Dante.
Pollard is the former leader of indie rock legends Guided By
Voices and at present, solo recording artist. One of Spin
Magazine’s“Top 50 Rock & Roll Front Men of All-Time", he is a
prolific songwriter, and a gifted visual artist,
working exclusively in the medium of collage. Pollard has
created the art featured on a majority of the Guided By Voices
records and countless other Pollard-related releases. The cover
collage for 1997's Guided By Voices record “Mag Earwhig” was
displayed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.
His art will be the subject of a 2008 Fantagraphic Books release,
“Town of Mirrors : The Reassembled Imagery of Robert Pollard.”
Under the artistic leadership of Michael & Victoria Imperioli,
Studio Dante is a not-for-profit, off-broadway theatre conceived
and built to house progressive new plays in a setting inspired by
the grand architecture and design of traditional 19th Century
venues. Studio Dante is located at 257 29th Street (between 7th
and 8th Avenue) in Manhattan. Opening night is Sunday, December
9th from 6 to 10pm BY INVITATION ONLY and the exhibit will
continue thru Monday, December 10th from 12 noon to 10pm.
For more details on “Do The Collage” please contact Rich Turiel
