Plus Gallery artist Mike Whiting seems to be much in demand across the country these days. Just over a year ago he was picked up for representation by Edward Cella Gallery in Los Angeles, which quickly led to placement in some exceptional collections in the LA area. That was followed by his inclusion in this year's terrific "Suburbia" exhibition at Colorado Springs Galler of Contemporary Art, then his spectacular year-long solo exhibition now on view at the BYU Museum of Art that we shared last week. Up next for Whiting is the group exhibition "Boys with Toys," at Causey Contemporary in NYC from July 20th through August 26, 2012. An opening reception with the artists will be held on July 20th from 6-9 p.m. Additionally, a panel discussion with the artists on sculpture in the public realm will take place on August 10, 2012, from 6-9 p.m. Gallery hours for this exhibition will be Wed-Sun, 12-6 p.m.
Curator, Tracy Causey-Jeffery selected the eight artists included in this exhibition after viewing portfolios of the 500 plus members of the International Sculpture Center organization. Having worked with sculptors over the course of her eighteen-year career as a gallery owner and director, she has come to understand that male sculptors who often work monumentally view their equipment and indeed sometimes the products of their creation as their toys, thus the name of this summer exhibition. Ms Causey-Jeffery's other criteria were that the works included in the exhibition be fabricated by the sculptor's own hand and made in large part from steel. Other additional materials were allowed if used to enhance the fundamental steel structure.
The artists featured in Boys with Toys include three New York based artists, Norman Mooney, Arthur Mednick and Gunnar Theel; two artists from the Maryland-D.C. Area, Alan Binstock and Steven Dobbin; two artists from the Midwest, Bob Emser and John. J. Richardson and our own Michael Whiting from California.
