Standard Sizes Curated by João Ribas June 14 - July 12, 2008 The Andrew Kreps Gallery is pleased to present Standard Sizes, a group exhibition curated by João Ribas. Standard Sizes surveys a diverse group of artists over several generations whose work resists the notion of art as the product of an expressive subject—the radically individuated self largely equated with the figure of the artist. In place of this vestige of Renaissance self-fashioning and the affectations of Romanticism, the exhibition presents works that look to standards and formal procedures to displace the idea of expressive subjectivity as the domain of art.Artists included in this exhibition: Ricci Albenda, Kjell Bjorgeengen, Kerstin Brätsch, Martin Creed, Liz Deschenes, Morgan Fischer, Rachel Harrison, Imi Knoebel, Camilla Low, Allan McCollum, Brian O'Connell, Blinky Palermo, Richard Pettibone, Josh Smith, Matt Sheridan Smith, and Sturtevant.

Okkyung Lee and Kjell will perform live on March 10th at OPTOSONIC TEA. They will share the evening with Leah Singer and Lee Ranaldo. Kathleen Forde will respond to the event and moderate the discussion afterwards. OptoSonic Tea is a regular series of evenings dedicated to the convergence of live visuals with live sound which focuses on the visual component organized by Katherine Liberovskaya and Ursula Scherrer. These presentation-and-discussion meetings aim to explore different forms of live visuals (live video, live film, live slide projection and their variations and combinations) and the different ways they can come into interaction with live audio. Each evening features two different live visual artists or groups of artists who each perform a set with the live sound artists of their choice. The presentations are followed by an informal discussion about the artists' practices over a cup of green tea. A third artist, from previous generations of visualists or related fields, is invited specifically to participate in this discussion so as to create a dialogue between current and past practices and provide different perspectives on the present and the future.
