$500 or Less art exhibition
Beginning tomorrow, Vastu presents four of its current artists and two new artists for its first ever “$500 or Less” exhibition offering photography, wall sculpture, painting and mixed-media. We are excited to offer original artwork at affordable prices. The show includes works from Kristina Bilonick, DeMarquis Johnson, Colin Winterbottom, Rose Minetti, Gabriel J. Shuldiner, and Allen Russ. Here’s a sneak peek and some of the work that will be featured…
Artist Statement: Gabriel Shuldiner
Bigger, harder, better, faster, stronger, more production, more consumption and even more waste: extreme information overload and material excess… Technology promotes this rush, the idea that everyone needs to be constantly in a rush. In a world fast becoming more virtual and transient with each hour, minute and second, I believe in the ever-more importance of the physical. The ‘object’ as a marker of time: a reminder of ourselves, of our own physicality, temporality and transitory nature of existence. While we learn to connect and re-connect in new and different [electronic] ways, hopefully we can remember to slow down a bit, as well…

New art exhibit!
Colin Winterbottom returns to Vastu to exhibit recent work and favorites. Featured among the dramatic, atmospheric photographs he shows are a series taken as he documented refurbishment of the pediments at the National Archives headquarters in Washington, DC. Other photographs feature New York, Washington DC, and recent studies of smaller towns in between.
