NOON Projects is honored to present Becoming a Swan (Going Through the Veil) featuring Darren Cortez, John Erwin Dillard, Kristan Kennedy and Michael Lombardo. Becoming a Swan is the inaugural show in NOON Project’s new exhibition space at 508 Chung King Court.
Becoming a Swan is an intuitive, energetic combination of works that creates a constellation not categorized by pedagogical classification. It is an act of creating an acronym for forgetting; that feelsakin to the act of dumping out one's bag. The organization of a life through a messy emptying.
Eroded masses of post industrial waste placed atop a painting complicit in philosophical fracas. Oil and Oklahoma dirt on the wall. A praying mantis, a conch shell, and rectangles serve as conduits for contemplation. Each is a device for transformation, forgetting, and letting go that the artists use when Going Through the Veil. The assemblage of these works allows a space for free association to form; to let the light in. An opening into the embodiment of the transcendental.
