    Maria Calandra Pencil in the Studio Sardine is pleased to present Pencil in the Studio by Maria Calandra. This exhibition is a selection of the drawings that have been featured on her blog, also titled Pencil in the Studio. The show coincides with the two-year mark since the blogs’ conception and will be the first time they have been seen in an extensive survey. The exhibition opens Saturday, May 18th from 6 to 9 pm and will be up through June 16th. With Pencil in the Studio, Maria Calandra discovers another way to look at the role of the studio in an artist’s development. Featuring the studios of some of the most dynamic emerging and established artists working today, her drawings are focused on being anthropological studies of her contemporaries. She usually spends an entire day with them drawing, observing, talking and writing. Not only does she render their works, supplies, and source materials, but she also hones in on what makes each of them naturally distinctive. Paintings in progress are stacked on paint cans, brushes are scattered about, pets hang out, and detritus piles up. It’s a humble exploration and exoneration of the present and a sweet vision of the studio as a location for the practice of success and failure. The artists that she has featured in the series thus far: Andy Cross, Ariel Dill, Chris Martin, Christine Heindl, Chuck Webster, Daniel Heidkamp, EJ Hauser, Elisa Lendvay, Erik den Breejen, Inna Babaeva, Ivin Ballen, Jay Gaskill, Jess Fuller, JJ Manford, Joe Ballweg, Jon Lutz, Joshua Abelow, Jovi Schnell, Joy Curtis, Karla Wozniak, Katherine Bradford, Katherine Newbegin, Kees den Breejen, Kelly McRaven, Keltie Ferris, Lauren Luloff, Liz Ainslie, Matt Jones, Marnet Larson, Michael Berryhill, Michael Mahalchick, Mike Olin, Rob Nadeau, Ron Amstutz, Sarah Mattes, Tamara Gonzales, and Vince Contarino. Maria Calandra lives and works in Brooklyn. She is a graduate of Cornell University MFA program and has exhibited with Norte Maar, Daily Operation, DNA Gallery, Shoot the Lobster and Storefront.  See Pencil in the Studio online at: pencilinthestudio.blogspot.com. Sardine is located on the ground floor of 286 Stanhope Street between Wyckoff and Irving Avenues in Bushwick, Brooklyn, one block from the Dekalb L train and near the Knickerbocker M.

    Janine Polak - Shoulder Touch

    image

    Sardine is pleased to present “Shoulder Touch” by Janine Polak. The exhibition opens Saturday, April 13 from 6 to 9 pm and will be up through May 12. 

    This group of sculptures speaks to indefinable moments. In the way that a touch on the shoulder could be unexpectedly engaging or jarring, they are precise, impulsive and unpredictable all at the same time. The key is the subtle combination of inexplicit materials and unfamiliar objects. Everything is finely crafted and formally succinct. Body parts, industrial materials, and folded fabrics are both subject and narrative. There are hints to the dichotomies inherent in human interaction, sexual and casual intimacy and self-experience but the viewer is left to question exactly what is happening in front of them. 

    After completing BA degrees in Studio Art and Economics at the University of Virginia in 2005, and an MFA from the Yale School of Art in 2008, Polak completed a residency near Beijing, China. She now lives and works in Brooklyn. She has participated in exhibitions in China and New York including shows at St. Cecilia’s, Weeknights, the Xiao Pu Station Art Center in Songzhuang, China and with Daily Operation.
