HIDING GALLERY: April 2010

IN MY PARENTS’ BASEMENT, at Hiding Gallery,invites you to harken back to the liberation and impulse to create in the show's namesake. Like a sort of adolescent shaman practice, youth of recent generations have been known to retreat to the insulated confines of their subterranean free-for-alls, often establishing a
certain primal communion with the seeds of expressive ambition, while also finding a cerebral distance from the all too familiar domestic reality. These tendencies blossom in play, so often sprung from boredom and pubescent discontent, producing works of all mediums(perhaps most iconically in the formation of "the basement band").

This type of wild/wide-eyed and unfettered creative release is the
inspiration for the latest installation of Hiding Gallery's events.
Surrounded by wood paneled walls, the show collects an array of artists who continued to follow through
with the instinctive drive to produce works in any number of forms.
The spread of formats will include a Brion Gysin inspired Dream Machine installation by James Baljo and an animation premier by Joe Jagos featuring the music of Gardens, amidst other surprises.

Granted decent conditions, you'll also be welcomed to enjoy the
rooftop and perhaps even the perils of the sky-high trampoline!
