Horizon
June 1, 2007- July 29, 2007
Reception: June 1, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
EFA Studio Center: 323 W 39th St
EFA Gallery announces a new exhibition curated by David Humphrey, "Horizon." The horizon is subjective, entirely determined by the position of the spectator. Because it has no independent existence it has become a symbol for a variety of thresholds: the visible, the thinkable and the knowable. Every artwork in this exhibition will have a horizon and will be abutted and aligned to adjacent works on it's left and right so as to make one continuous horizon around the gallery. Horizons in pictures are always cropped fragments, which, nonetheless, confirm the spectator's position at the center of his or her experience. This exhibition will tether every artist's horizon with all the other's to create an irrationally cooperative panorama, a heterogeneous continuity that weakens the boundaries between works while staging their differences.
Approximately 50 artists of all disciplines and career levels will be included in the exhibition.
David Humphrey is a curator and artist, born in Augsburg, Germany. He received a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, MD, studied at the New York Studio School of Painting, Drawing, and Sculpture, and received an MA from NYU.

Humphrey lives and works in New York and he has shown nationally and internationally. He is represented by Sikkema Jenkins & co in New York and will be exhibiting in November at Keith Talent Gallery in London.

Art Reviews of Horizon
The New York Sun July 5, 2007 | | Stephen Maine | | "Seventy or so by almost as many artists co-exist in "Horizon," a willfully rambling group show curated by David Humphrey for the Elizabeth Foundation Gallery. The artworks on view are wildly diverse in style, subject, and materials, but the show does not leave you scratching your head over what recondite connection they might share......" |
