>0.001 PERCENT VOLUME Front Gallery >Ben Woodeson, "Point Blank" Back Gallery >Levin Haegele, "Glow Space" PeepHole >Myfanwy Ashmore, "enarmoured euphorbia" �Installations should empty rooms, not fill them� � Robert Smithson With 0.001 PERCENT VOLUME Dave Dyment brings together three solo exhibitions: Ben Woodeson's "Point Blank", Levin Haegele's, "Glow Space" and Myfanwy Ashmore's "enarmoured euphorbia". In a discussion that looks at critical art practices from the late sixties and early seventies, Dyment situates the work of Woodeson, Haegele and Ashmore as a contemporary re-examination of issues and the aesthetic of early minimal and conceptual art practices, but one that is, instead, less confrontational and is imbued with a welcoming invitation and sense of play. "There is a warmth, domesticity and naivet� at play in 0.001 PERCENT VOLUME that is absent in many of the boundary breaking "nothing works" of the sixties. A simple seamstress� pin, a child�s voice, debris on one�s boots � these couldn�t be more different from the grandiloquence of minimalism or the chilly detachment of conceptualism. These restrained and understated gestures have the ability to open up a striking set of possibilities with the utmost economy of means." <<excerpt from brochure essay by Dave Dyment>> >>WHERE: Mercer Union 37 lisgar st. toronto, ontario, canada m6j 3t3 t: 1.416.536.1519 e:[EMAIL PROTECTED] w: www.mercerunion.org For media images please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Mercer Union contemporary art centred _________________________ http://www.woodeson.co.uk It is not the intention to spam, if you would prefer NOT to receive occasional visual arts orientated emails please reply with "Unsubscribe" in the subject line and you will be removed from the list immediately. ------------------------------------------------- a m b i t : networking media arts in scotland post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] archive: http://www.mediascot.org/ambit info: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and write "info ambit" in the message body -------------------------------------------------
