I.
Even twins are never exact copies of each other and yet, there lingers the common complaint that things seem the same everywhere. Films repeat the same threadbare storylines, grand political gestures are merely gestures of old with predictable outcomes, and the idea of the new (that which does not resemble anything else) becomes a difficult fiction.
II.
The artists in this exhibition utilize the fiction of resemblance. Their artworks are deceitful—quite simply, they look like other things. However, these artworks play with the subtle variations between things, the strangeness, intimacy, and even peculiarity common to the world of objects. The idea of disresemblance pervades the work, and as such, negotiates a balance between representation as an impossible act and the specific traces and thick materiality embedded within these works.
III.
Art consists of the transformation between the visible and the invisible relations between things. To make something strange throws a wrench into the habits of looking. Although looking can be one of the easiest things to do in the world—to gaze aimlessly, such as when window shopping—it can also be one of the most rigorous ways of experiencing the world. When using eyes to stare, they can pierce past the thin skin that covers all things.

Friends in High Places Organized by Zach Needler and Adrian Ting, March 12 – April 18 , 2010, Christopher Henry Gallery, NYC
Friends in High Places
Organized by Zach Needler and Adrian Ting
March 12 – April 18 , 2010
Opening Reception: Friday, March 12, 6 - 9 PM
Hours: Wednesday – Saturday, 11am – 6pm; Saturday – Sunday 12pm – 6pm; Monday and Tuesday by appointment
Christopher Henry Gallery is pleased to announce Friends in High Places , an exhibition of abstract painting and sculpture by seventeen contemporary artists, organized by participants Zach Needler and Adrian Ting.
Conceived as an organic interchange, Friends in High Places, explores the implicit connections within a community and takes as an article of faith that a fluid curatorial approach can yield a comprehensive catalog of practices and principles. The project began with a select number of artists who were asked to recommend artists they felt were making strong abstract work, who were then asked to make their own recommendations. The result is a show that while strikingly varied in form and professional experience reveals a common conceptual framework behind artistic tendencies and methods. Surprising synergies between the organic and the modular, the excessive and the minimal, and the intuitive and the formal are affirmed.
Friends in High Places features work by Ernesto Burgos, Angie Drakopoulos, Jason Duval, Jack Featherly, Elisa Lendvay, Michael Mahalchick, Chris Martin, Thomas McDonell, Douglas Melini, Zach Needler, Julie Phillips, Julia Rommel, David Shaw, Michael St. John, Jessica Stockholder, Adrian Ting and Tamara Zahaykevich.
