Subj: Saturday Night Reception at Gallery Alexie Date: 00-10-30 14:12:21 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (melissa christiano) Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Melissa Christiano Solo Exhibition, Gallery Alexie, New York, New York November 4-28, 2000 Reception: Saturday, November 4, 2000 On Saturday, November 4 at Gallery Alexie , a very unusal exhibition will be open to the public. Recent works by Melissa Christiano will be on view, but not for sale. Instead, during the opening reception, the work will be given to viewers who wish to claim them. "I just wanted to do it!" states Christiano, "I wanted to produce a body of work with no limitations, free from the confinement of being sellable, durable, marketable, or popular." Christiano's recent works include assemblage and sculptural paintings where she conducts her own singular experiments from fragments and scraps that make up her environment. Her assemblages contain intense distilled images, objects, and surfaces that create a confrontation between past and present. Many of the works that will be on view in New York can be seen on her web site at http://www.melissachristiano.com The opening reception for the artist will be this Saturday, November 4, 2000 from 6:30-8:00. Gallery Alexie is located at 529 W. 20th Street 4E, New York, New York. For more information you may contact Melissa Christiano via e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or at Gallery Alexie at (212) 741-7959 ___________________________________________________________
