Fuse Works is pleased to present its fifth exhibition of new multiples at Front Room Gallery, curated by Amanda Alic and Ethan Crenson. The exhibition features artist’s multiples including books, prints, audio and video art recently added to the Fuse Works program. The exhibition also debuts two editions produced through Fuse Works’ publishing initiative.


There are many like it, but this one is yours continues Fuse Works’ exploration of role of the editioned “thing” in contemporary art. The 32 artists in the exhibition practice a broad range of approaches to the multiple as a critical medium. The results range from doormats (Celeste Fichter) to predator drone hummingbird feeders (John Marriott) to paper coffee cups (Christina Kelly) to mutilated die-cast car models (Peter Feigenbaum).



Approaches to the book include their use as substrate for alteration and embellishment (Luca Bertolo), their creation as a conceptual framework to record time passing (Seldon Yuan) and as a linear narrative reflecting on the value of the tiniest unit of currency (Serge Onnen).

The audio and video contributions include a new limited edition audio cassette byCorcorax (Tmm Mulligan and Xhe Xhen), a screen printed 10” vinyl record by Jeremy Slater (published by Fuse Works), and a new video by Naval Cassidy (aka Jonathan Giles).

Works on paper include the Hollywood movie posters overlaid with the artist’s detailed memories of the film (Amanda Tiller), a graphically disassembled and refigured pin-up on newsprint (Sarah Vogwill) and an anti-capitalist agitprop poster that doubles as tissue paper to wrap purchases from the gallery (James Leonard, also published by Fuse Works).

Performances: June 21st & 22nd at 8 pm, FREE, Mark Stilwell presents The Super Defense Force vs. The Tittanno Beasts (The Transformation of the Omega Redeemer). The performance installation will transform the gallery into a massive cityscape constructed of cardboard and plastic detritus reclaimed from the trash. In this miniature city massive monsters and robots made of similar materials clash in loud combat accompanied by live music and stage effects. The performance is produced as part of Make Music New York.

Saturday June 29th at 7 pm, FREE, performances by Naval Cassidy, Jeremy Slater and Corcorax. Naval Cassidy will create instant cinema using props and video from his multiple, Hot Lips. Jeremy Slater will incorporate the audio from his 10” LP Seoul, with field recordings and video. Corocorax (Tmm Mulligan and Xhe Xhen) will perform variations on Tape/Circles, their new cassette-only release.
