AMY FINKBEINER
LEAVE ME, DESIRE
Invisible NYC is proud to host “Leave Me, Desire”, a drawing installation by multi-media artist, Amy Finkbeiner.
Ms. Finkbeiner lives and works in Brooklyn. She has attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and received an MFA from the School of Visual Arts. She has exhibited widely in New York, around the U.S., and internationally, including group shows at Good Children Gallery in New Orleans, Smack Mellon Gallery in Brooklyn, and Galleri Niklas Belenius in Stockholm, Sweden. This will be Ms. Finkbeiner’s first solo show in New York.
Ms. Finkbeiner creates the icons of a cult of worship, collecting together the entranced mystics and martyred saints of medieval times, contemporary proto-feminist performance artists, and women poets of the punk rock era—all of whom sought transcendent yet very physical states of being, whether through music, creation of visual arts, or religious ecstasy. Inherent to any “successful” cult, Ms. Finkbeiner’s art and the environment created within the gallery revolves around idolatrous objects, images, and texts, which are placed in altar-like visual poems within a space.
Through meticulously rendered walls drawings, multi-media installations, and the interplay between these works, a home and breeding ground is created and controlled consequently engaging the viewer through the overall experience. The process of making the elements of these shrines, and letting them cohabit and speak to each other in a defined space, is a mode of exploration that closely mirrors the mystical states of the artists, rock-star poets, and ecstatic saints who populate Ms. Finkbeiner’s work. The viewer is coerced into experiencing the hypnotic environment as a whole by the effects of the dizzying vision and stunning, delicate details and miniature drawings that pepper the controlled gallery space.
The exhibition will be on view from January 29 - February 28, with an opening reception on Thursday, January 29, 7 - 9 p.m.
