Open hours will be Wednesdays - Saturdays from 1-6 p.m. and by appointment.

Gold Records” takes its lead from a selection of the artists whose works and interviews can be found on my former blog, The Old Gold. Though it manifests itself in very different ways, these artists have in common a type of retrospective interpretation of cultural developments from the 60’s on. Art history, television, consumer culture, pop music, design, news, and advertisements are integrated to the point where they are recognizable, but not ultimately decipherable. As a result, many of the works have a record-keeping aspect that is turned into a “record-recreation”. The sources are effectual placeholders for the time and circumstances of the original but the end result is a new, fragmented narrative with a definitive and original sound.

"Self-Portrait," Joshua Abelow, 2008

" Her ears are tall and pointed, like the ears of Anubis. How she manages to hold them constantly erect, as though starched, I do not know, for with their fine covering of mouse-gray fur they are soft and flimsy; when she stands with her back to the sun it shines through the delicate tissue, so that they glow shell-pink as though incandescent. Her face also is long and pointed, basically stone-gray, but the snout and lower jaw are jet black. Jet, too, are the rims of her amber eyes, as though heavily mascara’d, and the tiny mobile eyebrow tufts that are set like accents above them. " -J.R. Ackerley about his dog Queenie
