DAN GLUIBIZZI

Our Time

Extended to July 13, 2011

Painter Dan Gluibizzi recently moved to Portland from Brooklyn, NY & Ampersand is very excited to present his first solo exhibition here in town. Titled Our Time, the show features a large selection of Gluibizzi’s more recent watercolor paintings, all derived from anonymous digital photos people post on the web. At surface his work is bright & whimsical, but at root it makes one think twice about the rampant exhibitionism we see proliferating on the web. In this, it fits so well with many of our preoccupations here at Ampersand: the interplay between found materials & voyeurism; the invasive nature of photography & the viral way that images spread on the internet; & the symbiotic link between pedestrian visual culture & fine art.

We have also published a limited edition show catalog to coincide with the exhibition. Limited to 100 copies, the book is the first in what we hope to be several titles published by Ampersand.
