ARTISTS' PROJECT: OLIVER HERRING AND PETER KRASHES
Multimedia artist Oliver Herring and painter Peter Krashes met 24 years ago while studying art in Oxford, England. As studio mates and partners they have lived and worked alongside each other since. Here, they stage a "conversation" between the works they have created over the years.

A moderated discussion between artists Carrie Moyer and Peter Krashes with writer and artist Robert Marshall

WHERE: 638 Dean Street
                 Brooklyn, NY 11238

WHEN:   Wednesday, September 23rd
7:30-9:00


Carrie Moyer is a painter and one of the founders of Dyke Action Machine!,
(DAM!). DAM! is a public art project that since 1991 has used mainstream
advertising techniques to insert lesbian images into recognizably commercial
contexts.

Peter Krashes is a painter who for five years has engaged in local issues in
Brooklyn as an organizer and advocate. He describes his painting now as
reactions to external events that are not linked to artistic goals.

Robert Marshall is a writer and a visual artist. His novel A Separate Reality was published in 2006.

Four years ago, Peter Krashes’ work shifted away from the magnificently painted series of distorted, liquid images that he had been exhibiting. Developers were given permission to exercise eminent domain to build a stadium in his Brooklyn neighborhood, threatening the community. He took on: “…life as a community organizer with a work practice as an artist that embraces my efforts outside of the studio... Put simply, I play a role in shaping what I paint before I paint it. A letter in my work is a letter that needed to be sent, a meeting is a meeting I helped to organize… As a result, the paintings are the last step in a process I have been engaged with from beginning to end….The imperatives I feel outside the studio are explicit so the outcome in the studio is particular and linked to the real world.”
