Nicholas Robinson Gallery is pleased to announce the inauguration of its new lower gallery exhibition space with the exhibition Frenzy and Aftermath curated together with Joel Beck, of the former Roebling Hall. The exhibition opens February 5th from 6:00-9:00 pm.

The opportunity to open a separate concurrent program within the gallery provides an exciting addition to the established program and roster of artists represented by the gallery. The spacious, re-purposed and refurbished exhibition space is ideal for curated thematic exhibitions as well as potential solo exhibitions. It enables the gallery to mount a spontaneous set of exhibitions that reflect the interest that the gallery has in broadening the possibilities that only additional flexibility and programming can allow. We look forward to an exciting ongoing series of intelligent, thought provoking and fun exhibitions.

Frenzy and Aftermath directs attention to our collective hangover. If “Wall Street got drunk!” as our sage leadership has astutely ascertained after deep ponderous investigation, we are all nauseously spinning in that hangover. The exhibition reflects the wild state of current affairs and aspires to place the events that we must now endure in the mood of the morning after. It was fun while it lasted but we hate ourselves this morning.

The exhibition includes works by Adam Cvijanovic, Stephen Dean, Christoph Draeger, Florian Süssmayr, Nick Waplington and Tod Wizon, amongst others.

Works included range from a giant crashed Disco Ball, The Party’s Over by Christoph Draeger, Bloco, a video loop of depicting Carnival by Stephen Dean, a scene of a closed nightclub by Nick Waplington, and Tod Wizon’s frenetic Fishtank trilogy of paintings. Florian Süssmayr’s painting of wild revelry display his action packed mastery of painting along with the equally masterful scenes of the ruins of D.W. Griffiths’ Hollywood Babylon by Adam Cvijanovic.

After the frenzy, and feeling worse for wear, the exhibition invites us all to come on down for the metaphorical traditional New Year’s Day party. The best cure may still be “Hair of the Dog”.
