Eamon
Espey's densly patterned black and white drawings diagram states of
paranoia, mythology and the occult. His work has appeared in Free Radicals,
Galago and Critical Citadel. In 2008 his comics and drawings were collected
into the book “Wormdye.” Right now he lives in Baltimore
and is working on his next book. |

Carlos Gonzalez’ video “The Crystal Ball” is a home
made 'psycho-drama' about the host of a public access TV show who burns
the face of a fan and would be interviewer with corrosive acid. The
victim is assisted by a local nurse in extracting his revenge, but too
much is never enough as the movie reaches a climax of violence, confusion,
and top-notch showmanship. Gonzalez is the author of “Slime Freak,”
a member of Russian Tsarlag and has been making videos since 2006. His
work has appeared in “Kramer's Ergot 6,” and “Nazi
Knife.” He lives and works in a cryptorium in Providence, RI.

Haisi
Hu creates narrative videos using stop-motion animated puppets, toys
and mannequins. The beauty and meticulousness of her work bespeaks an
urgent concern for the fate of the world. She will present the intricately
carved puppets and elaborate set pieces of her work in progress, “On
the Debris of Affluence.” Hu was born in Guang Zhou, and lives
and works in Brooklyn, NY. |
 |
Jenni Knight
fabricates the superfluous. She is an artist immersed in lo fidelity media,
including lots of crap with peering eyes like hers that calls out from
the street. For now a nomadic moment, something in between the frenetic
flicker of a scatter art and still life holding its breath. Tomorrow,
a kind of “anxious object.”
Knight lives and works in Brooklyn. |

Jonathan
Petersen’s work is drawn from his adventures in North America and
put through a dream filter, augmented with texts reminiscent of the history
of advertising. His drawings have been published in “Nog A Dod”
(Conundrum Press, 2006) and in “The World’s Best Cookie,”
He has had solo exhibitions at Charlie’s Gallery in Toronto, 50/50
Gallery in Victoria, and The Crying Room in Vancouver. Petersen lives
