Plus Gallery launched the stunning season opening exhibition "Peacocking" by Allie Pohl last Thursday evening with a rousing reception hosted by the Denver Art Museum support group CultureHaus. The very next day we received copies of the new issue of Modern In Denver, the exquisitely crafted magazine for modern living that focuses on developments of the highest order within the context of architecture, design, art, technology and forward thinking living. Inside the new issue is a not-to-be-missed six page profile on Allie Pohl, the first of its kind in print, but certainly not the last as Allie marches her way towards a fantastic career of increasing relevancy within the global contemporary art market. Pick up a copy on newsstands now, or swing by Plus Gallery to view Allie's new exhibition and grab a copy from us while supplies last.

"Peacocking" is a singular experience in the realm of contemporary art, particularly here in Denver. Pohl's firm grasp of sexual politics, new platforms within social media, and research that ranges from the most intimate encounters to interfacing with wide-ranging systems for manufacture and produce development all gets distilled into super-symbolic works that push well beyond the norm. "Peacocking" is surely one for the ages, an exhibition by a risk-taking artist who perfectly embodies our national zeitgeist.
For some topical, up-to-the-minute reflections on Pohl's current focus, we suggest the following articles:
