Art Star Presents: My Biology
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 20, 5:00 - 9:00 pm
Art Star is pleased to present My Biology, a solo exhibition of crocheted sculptures by Emily Barletta. The work will be on display from October 20–November 18, 2007. An opening reception w/ the artist will be held on Saturday, October 20, from 5-9pm. The reception will include light refreshments & a special performance by the band Falkonr, which will begin at 7pm. The event is free & open to the public.
Emily’s current body of work is crocheted from small objects that are assembled and accumulated to create larger works that reference imaginary body structures. The artist states, “I have a spinal disease that has always been a present and physically painful force in my life. The majority of my art stems from this fact, but to say that I make artwork as therapy would be untrue. I make artwork and it is therapeutic. This is the same to say that I make art and I am in pain; instead of saying I make art because I am in pain. I cannot separate these ideas. The objects that result from this are the invented anatomical structures of my imagination and my biology. These structures relate to cells, veins, organs, skin, blood, and bones. But they tend to express themselves as flowers, plants, tubes, topography, diseases, bacteria, growths, mold, and organisms. They spread, spill, leak, and grow their way into existence through yarn and a crochet hook.”
Emily was born in 1981 in Utah on a waterbed and raised in a small town in central Pennsylvania. She received a B.F.A. in Fibers at the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2003. She currently resides in Brooklyn, NY where she has been working as an artist assistant for the past few years. Her current body of work is crocheted from small objects that are assembled and accumulated to create larger works that reference imaginary body structures.
