Just a little over a week left to see this remarkable show by Todd Bourret and Brian O'Connell!In Harry and Pete, Todd Bourret and Brian O’Connell come together under three familiar constraints – space, time, and budget - to produce a body of collaborative work that explores the nature of dialog, debate, support, and influence. Limiting themselves to an established materials list, Bourret and O’Connell will use the DAC gallery as a studio in the week preceding the opening.
Through a material back-and-forth, Bourret and O’Connell employ their mutual interest in the manipulation of indexes to suggest further generative possibilities. Both artists use indexical procedures (e.g. photographic processes, prints, stencils, molds, etc.) to make effects of the past present. In making, recording, and displaying residues, their work provokes both memories of and projections into pasts as viewing becomes an act of reconstruction. In Harry and Pete, an expanding series of works traces material and conceptual transformations that reflect both deliberate responses as well as chance effects.
