Marking Time, Part 2: Victoria Bradford at Onewall
Past Show (May 14th)
Victoria Bradford is a MFA Candidate in Performance at SAIC. Her work often deals with specific forms of measurement and documentation, and this particular durational piece dances the line between the aesthetic and the exposed.

Among Friends at Onewall Micro-Exhibition Space: An Installation by Brandon Seckler
Past Show (April 16th)
In this installation, I’ve arranged a set of papier-mâché objects with a painted gloss finish to interact with a five-sided acrylic box. The installation changes depending on its setting because the objects suggest an exploration of their immediate surroundings. Each object functions independently, but is dependant on the others to create a narrative that has no sequence or resolution. Among Friends represents a range of thoughts and emotions I associate with placement/displacement and interior/exterior spaces, and questions the nature of origin and arrival.

These Little Elements Aren’t Very Sinister: The Work of Drew Noble
Past Show (March 11th)
“The more I tell the viewer about my internal storyline and process the less I’ve said about my paintings. Though it may not seem like it at first approach, there is no way in to my work. Initially, it promises a clear idea or a happy ending but it breaks its own promise. I only paint neutral ideas that I have no loyalties to.”
Drew Noble is a Chicago painter who currently attends The School of the Art Institute. She will graduate in 2011. Her work explores mark-making with a variety of intents.
