> The exhibition entitled RAW at Smack Mellon (56 Water Street,
> Brooklyn) March 1st to April 6th, reflects upon the unpolished - yes,
> raw - quality of art depicting the incidental, sometimes auspicious,
> sometimes chaotic occurrences and observations of everyday life.
> These ordinary situations are articulated within an interest in the
> functional or rather dysfunctional physicality of urban space.
>
> Curated by the art critic and independent curator Denise Carvalho,
> RAW presents works on video, computer, drawing, sound,
> photography, and performance. It attempts to address a language
> that utilizes various mediums while at the same time speaking of
> each work's independent formal qualities. The works are drawn
> by both the desire to create aesthetic beauty and the need to
> address social awareness inherent in the cultural, architectural, or
> visual language of the urban space; aspects which sometimes
> are taken for granted in our world of constructed perceptions.
