Solo Show Legends

 
   
 


Justin Colt Beckman

Hundreds of artists submitted work, but only one Solo Show Artist could be selected by our team of judges:Carol Lee, Arts Editor at Paper Magazine, Dan Deacon, Sound Artist & Electro-acoustic Wizard, Rostarr, NYC Artist and Paolo Salvagione, Lead Design Engineer, The Long Now Foundation.

Our seventh Solo Show Artist, Justin Colt Beckman is a city boy with a country boy's heart. He uses photo-based works, film/video, sculpture, installation, and new-media to engage in rural activities vicariously through his art-making. His work explores and presents ideas surrounding the urban/rural dichotomy and its many associated stereotypes, while simultaneously questioning the relevance of these terms amidst the ever-increasing strength of the technological revolution and the rise of globalization.

After completing his residency at 3rd Ward, we will present Mr. Beckman’s work in the gallery at our Morgan Avenue location. Please stay tuned for the date and time.

A very special thanks to our incredible judges and the many talented artists who participated in this open call!


 

 

Johanna Heldebro


Johanna Heldebro Presents: To Come Within Reach of You by 3rd Ward.

Johanna Heldebro was selected from hundreds of artists by Judges Priska C. Juschka (Priska C. Juschka Art),Kelsey Keith (Flavorpill) and CK Swett (Christie's). Her compelling body of work To Come Within Reach of You (Gunnar Heldebro, Hässelby strandväg 55, 165 65 Hässelby, Sweden) chronicles the life of her father who disappeared two years prior.  After searching his name on the internet, Heldebro traveled to Stockholm, Sweden to obsessively follow him, creating a series that refigures comfortable notions of adult identity. Her work is at times as coldly detached as it is uncomfortably personal.

Pim Palsgraaf



Our first International Solo Show Artist, Netherlands native, Pim Palsgraaf, turned our gallery into an apocalyptic aftermath with a taxidermied raccoon, pheasant and deer each sprouting buildings made from found objects.  These dispirited creatures were accompanied by dark canvases depicting the distentigration of buildings in eastern Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
