Revealing : Gleaming

Posted on February 21, 2012 by stoisher


Detail of WHAT A BUNCHA TOOLZ, 2012.

I just came back from a great trip to LA that included my participation in a 4 person show at SYNCHRONICITY SPACE in East Hollywood, my west coast debut performance of my solo sound project STOLEN TEMPLE PILEUP, a collaborative mural, and a mind-freeing jaunt to Joshua Tree.

I installed my piece, WHAT A BUNCHA TOOLZ, a papier mache pegboard wall of sculptures of tools that I have relationships with in my life. Dustpan, level, screwdrivers, t-square, hammers, ninja stars, guns – it was a hodge podge of objects from everyday to boyhood fantasy. To mimic other works in the show, I hung the tools in a diamond-esque arrangement, as there were many diamonds in other artists’ works. Check out pics below.

MY SLOW CALLED LIFE

Posted on December 4, 2011 by stoisher


Mulherin + Pollard Present

MY SLOW CALLED LIFE

A solo exhibition of sculptures by STO

December 1 -31 2011

Opening Reception Thursday December 8th 6-9pm

In My Slow Called Life, Sto presents a tranquil, one room NY studio apartment scene as the backdrop for a variety of papier mache sculptures. Devoid of any people, we are left to ponder the objects on their own as we walk through the space. Leftover pizza on the table, old food in the fridge, a stack of books, some dirty socks, and a slop sink with paintbrushes as well as toothbrushes are just a few of the mundane objects recreated in chunky, lovable papier mache.

There is a natural sense of whimsy in the limitations of the mache as a medium and it boldly reveals itself with rough textures and gobs of paint applied liberally. There is also a sense of comedy beneath the surface, as if the objects were laughing at their own meaninglessness and at us for needing them. These deadpan takes on quotidian objects question our common understanding of what is real and reveal the many ways that we are entangled with our possessions.

By shining a spotlight on the everyday, these works evoke our own daily lives and slow us down long enough to take stock in what they really consist of.

CLOSING It DOWN

Posted on December 2, 2011 by stoisher

LAST CHANCE TO SEE WE ARE THE WHIRL!

Join us for a Closing party

with musick by DUBKNOWDUB and BOVEDA

Where: wayfarers , 1109 dekalb ave btw broadway and malcolm x, Brooklyn, NY

It’s been so wonderful having these drawings at Wayfarers,
but Friday is their last day…
…and the only way we could let them go without a fight is to sing them away in style, so sto and jee have generously agreed to bring a little more of their awesome…

If you haven’t seen the show, yet (or even if you have), come listen to the ever entrancing:

BOVEDA
featuring Jee, David Noriega, Peter Segerstorm, and Michael Hernandez-Stern

and enjoy the raucously enigmatic charm of:

DUBKNOWDUB
featuring Sto and Smhoak Mosheein

we’ll have some cheap beer, some hard pretzels.
if it’s cold, we’ll do the spiced cider thing again…
you’ll see some old friends, make some new friends, hear some honestly amazing music and be surrounded by these beautiful drawings…

directions:
J train to kosciuszko stop
walk towards kosciuszko to dekalb
