News From Nowhere is a group exhibition of collage, sculpture, painting,
drawing, video, and performance by Z Behl, Ernest Concepcion, Stephen
Collier, Libby Hartle, and Morgan Sorne.
Taken from the title of William Morris’s book, News From Nowhere explores
the nature in which we search for utopia. The pieces beg the questions:
does utopia exist; how does one know if they have reached or entered into
a utopia; is man’s relationship to some kind of Eden constantly evolving;
and, finally, does this search ever end? With different forces at play, our
intentions for the ideal state are usually good. However, the search can
be dangerous and may lead to undesirable consequences.
Throughout history, we have seen its equally opposing dystopic forces in
cruel and devastingly expressions, including Hitler’s Third Reich and the
Jim Jones genocide. Some believe Native American cultures were living in
utopian landscapes until guns, germs, and steel were introduced to them.

I AM A VIDEO
Good Children Gallery is pleased to present its first video exhibition I am a Video featuring six video artists at various stages in their careers.
I am a video was inspired by the title of the play, film, and song, I am a Camera written by The Buggles of Video Killed the Radio Star fame, from their album, Adventures in Modern Recording. The full song title is I am a Camera With its Shutter Open, Quite Passive, Recording, not Thinking.
As video is Latin for I See, this is a show about seeing which is ultimately about imaginative flights, ‘going.’ Each artist uses this seeing while exploring the idea of going from one place to another injecting their works with subtle humour. These artworks are not neutral, they are articulated in self-expression, analysis, and of course digital production; from Kate Gilmore’s between a hard place where she’s busting through a wall or building desire to reach us; Ray Rapp’s Truck Z, Ode to trucks on a highway, warped frames of highway driving and sweet surrender; John Pilson’s sensitive Portraits: Manhattan; Diana Heise whose circling attempts and linguistic possession in Crush; and Rachel DeTrinis’ portrait of a Fan, to Jeremy Mitchell Pelt’s Run Red musing on environment and deconstructive reactions.

Chinatown Series: Alisoun Mehan
April 11 - May 3
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 11, 6-9pm
Good Children Gallery presents, Alisoun Meehan: Chinatown Series an exhibition of chalk pastel drawings showcasing the window displays of NYC’s Chinatown. These large scale colourful and figurative works encourage dialogue about ethnicity, consumption, pattern, and photography. As though the windowpane has been removed and the market brought into the viewer's space, these drawings transport one community into another, bringing a few passing moments into the heart of New Orleans St. Claude Artist District. Perhaps these works are also a sort of homage to the individual proprietor, the corner store, and that place of local congregation as these neighborhoods shift with the realities of urban gentrification and one-stop mega-markets.
Chinatown Series is an on-going collection of Meehan's food window projects, started ten years ago out of her love of eating, obsession with meat imagery, and curiosity of neighborhood identity. Focusing on the fractured realism of a pedestrian’s reminiscence, these works weave through a maze of abundance: hyper-crowded fish markets spilling rank sweet smelling greens, steamy windows, choirs of hanging chickens and ducks shellacked in fat spitting orange neon and hand written signs offering daily specials.
