Projects' first-ever silent auction was a great
success, and happy collectors will be taking home
their new acquisitions. The exhibition
remains on view through this Saturday, December
18, and there is still work available by
all previously exhibited artists. Whether you would
like to take in a retrospective of sorts and get
an overview of the exhibitions program, or if you
are interested in collecting, we will be delighted
to see you. Featuring work by artists Lindsey
Brown, Leah Durner, Liz Engelhardt, Sally Gil, Jan
Gilbert, Jimmie James and Jaclyn Mednicov,
this is a fun and exciting opportunity for aspiring
and veteran collectors to acquire work.
A charitable donation will be made in support
of The Lower East Side Girls Club. |

571 Projects is pleased to announce
small things considered, the
gallery’s first-ever silent auction. As
part
of our special events program, 571 Projects is
presenting a curated exhibition of small works
available at buy-
it-now prices. Featuring work by artists Lindsey
Brown, Leah Durner, Liz Engelhardt, Sally Gil,
Jan Gilbert, Jimmie James and Jaclyn Mednicov,
this is a fun and exciting opportunity for aspiring
and veteran collectors to acquire work. For more
details on the silent auction process, please
visit our web site at:
www.571projects.com/content/small-things-considered
A charitable donation will be made in support
of
the Lower East Side Girls Club’s arts programming.
small things considered showcases
fragments that allude to a larger whole, or diminuitive
contained universes. These works allow the viewer
to gain focused and intimate insights into each
artist’s finer gestures.
Highlighting the synergy between mid-career and
emerging artists, all those in this accomplished
group
demonstrate their own unique evolution and approach.
Unexpected and rich dialogues are created between
Jimmie James’ vibrant abstract landscapes
and Liz Engelhardt’s nearly monochromatic
plein air pieces, Jan
Gilbert’s photo transfer images from New
Orleans’ French Quarter and Jaclyn Mednicov’s
delicate drawings
of nature overrunning the urban environment. Leah
Durner’s colorful and gestural gouache on
paper
respond to Lindsey Brown’s deliberate sketches
including found objects and Sally Gil’s
playful collages.
Collectively, the energy will make for an impressive
show of small but substantive original work.
small things considered will
be on view December 14, 2010 through December
18, 2010 at 571 Projects,
551 West 21st Street, Unit 204A, New York City,
10011.
571 Projects is open Tuesday – Saturday,
12 – 6pm,
and by appointment.

Projects seeks to bridge the gap between
dynamic emerging & mid-career artists and
engaged collectors, both those beginning to collect
and those looking for fresh talent. To support
the work of significant artists, we provide a
forum through tightly curated, solo exhibitions
that showcase a single body of work. Founded in
by Sophie Bréchu-West, an alumna of Christie’s
Master’s in Contemporary Art and Connoisseurship
program, 571 Projects opened its doors in October
2009.
