Some thoughts on organizing this show from Pamela Jorden: The show's title is inspired by two paintings of the same name, one by Edvard Munch and the other by Jasper Johns. Johns invites us to "Take an object, do something to it, do something else to it,…" and this exhibition, inspired by Johns' cognizant connection to Munch, looks at the conscious and the unconscious operating within the process of art making. The exhibition includes painting and sculpture, and each artist employs an idiosyncratic and tactile approach: the activity of weaving and knotting, following or expanding on a pattern, finding an object, remembering a place, waiting for the paint to dry. These are actions that incite responses.

Ian Pedigo and Michael Mahalchick are the first two New Yorkers to present work under what has been lovingly referred to as our "goddamn charcoal ceiling".
