Exhibition and lecture by master printer Phil Sanders, Director, The Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, NYC.
Artist Statement: "My current body of work is an exploration of the mythology of the artist in western culture. It takes the form of sculptures, multiples, books and mixed media drawings based on Greek myths, concrete poetry, art music, neo-dada, and pop art. At present, I am working on a three-volume artist book, THE STAGE, THE CON, AND THE REVELATION. The books are a manifesto with roots in neo-dada that set the stage with a foundation of history and experience, show the artistry in the con of the ideal, and end with the process of forming disbelief."
Lecture and exhibition dates in October to be announced.

Mann Library Gallery / Oct. 10 - Nov. 13, 2010
Robert Andrade presents (A) TOPOS, a large sculptural environment in the Mann Library gallery. The project conveys ideas of the labyrinth, city planning, and landscape archiecture. These three facets share a common theme of form and the inherent element of control, fragmentary or overt, embedded within their design. The experiential quality is imposed on the social by various means and multiple strata of the everyday.
Functioning as an exhbition space within a traditional library, the setting allows for a greater potential for experience outside the typical artistic context.
Academy Award nominated documentarian Sam Green has teamed with sound artist Dave Cerf to create a moving performance – a live documentary – that investigates the meaning and status of idealism in contemporary culture.
