WALTZING IN QUICKSAND: POETS IN COLLAGE
Tribes Gallery is excited to present the exhibition Waltzing in Quicksand: Poets in Collage. This is the most recent and ambitious showing of the work of Poets in Collage regulars Steve Dalachinsky, Bob Heman, Yuko Otomo, Valery Oisteanu and Bruce Weber, who have been exhibiting together in various permutations around town since 2006, with the inspired addition of Star Black, Aaron Howard, Nichole Peyafitte and Lewis Warsh.

This exhibition of over 30 astounding images features multiple works by the artists that range from Steve Dalachinsky’s dazzling series of decorative ethnic fans to Star Black’s precise geometric cuttings that glance in and out of magnificent architectural spaces. Also featured in the exhibition are Yuko Otomo’s dancing abstractions in line, Aaron Howard’s boldly colored collages picturing out of this world creatures floating menacingly on the pages of an ancient edition of Encyclopedia Britannica, Bruce Weber’s confluences of shoes, tires and people peering out surprisingly from corners, Nicole Peyrafitte’s re-imaginings of classic naturalistic scenes by Winslow Homer, Lewis Warsh’s expansive permutations of the alphabet, Jeffrey Wrights punchy experimental shiftings of stamps, magic markers, gouache, spray paint and collage, Bob Heman’s box-like investigations of emptyness and sound, and recent works from the last Surrealist Valery Oisteanu’s erotic model series. ...
