CoWorker Projects Presents Works – by NICHOLAS STEINDORF
TUESDAY – APRIL 3, 2012: 7PM to MIDNITE
at ENTWINE – 765 WASHINGTON ST – btw WEST/10th ST & GREENWICH ST, just south of W12th, WEST VILLAGE, NYC
see: map
A PRESENTATION of selected videos, including Superstition, Hey Jude, 52, and How to Disappear.
from the CoWorker press release:
STEINDORF’S videos make use of accessible subject matter to eliminate complicated signs and ask the audience to enter and ponder what happens inside it. The superficial qualities of these works disorient the viewer from the original image – encouraging further analysis and examination emphasizing experience through image, time, and formal experimentation. This selection of videos oscillate between recognizable pictures and abstractions.
NICHOLAS received his BFA from Columbia College in Chicago in 2009 and he currently resides and works out of Brooklyn, NY. His work appeared in various group exhibitions over the past five years including EX (International Arts Movement, NY, 2012), Sans (Co-Prosperity Sphere, Chicago, 2012), Collection (The Arcade, Chicago, 2011), Indestructible Youth (Kunz Vis Projects, Chicago, 2010), Frame (C33 Gallery, Chicago, 2010), Regeneration (New York Center for Art and Media Studies, NY, 2010), and Venice Biennial Workshop Ancillary Exhibition (Venice, Italy, 2009).
CoWorker Projects is . . . the creation of former co-workers and friends YULIA TOPCHIY (a partner at Entwine) and JESSICA SAIN who previously worked alongside each other at GOFF+ROSENTHAL GALLERY and Entwine in New York City. CoWorker Projects find them co-working again to show weekly art videos in the downstairs lounge at Entwine, a full bar in the heart of the West Village.
The artists and the videos change weekly.
YES !!
I WENT TO THE OPENING & HAD A GREAT GREAT TIME. THE SHORT CLIP – VIDEOS WERE GREAT. THE SOUNDTRACKS WERE EERIE & AWESOME, TOO. PLUS, SOMETIMES IT’S JUST REALLY NICE TO LEAVE THE ‘TABLOID’ WORLD BEHIND & REACH FOR THE REALM of PURE ART, PURE VISION. PURE COLOR.
PLUS DOWNTOWN, SERIOUSLY WEST-SIDE WASHINGTON ST. – IS SO FUN – IT’S LIKE A CLUBBY BROOKLYN in MANHATTAN, NICE & EASY ON THE WEARY MIND.

JOSHUA RAYNER. we had a spirited discussion on the pros and cons of the proposed ‘hanging’ of the JEFF KOONS life-sized replica locomotion near the High Line. he’s all for it. and yes, he did make me re-think my position, a bit !! I dunno, maybe it’s a guy thing.

NICHOLAS STEINDORF, ‘Hey Jude’, 2011
it kind of looked like an eyeball and a clock, with a tiny futuristic spaceship, here at center left, hugging the rim, as it travels around the orb. metaphors for space, time, travel, the human condition, and comparative scales – come to mind.
all the while accompanied by an eerie, yet subtle spaceship-like ‘white’ noise.
