Joe Iurato: Woodcuts & Photography , by Station 16 on Sept 30, 2015 23:44:26 GMT 1, Last week, we opened "Everything but the Whole Story," a solo show featuring the work of the street artist, Joe Iurato. Working exclusively with wooden cut-outs, Iurato places his creations in the streets, often interacting with their surroundings in playful and inventive ways, and then documents the installation with a photograph. While Iurato has worked across the globe, he has never exhibited his woodcuts indoors, and our invitation to exhibit at the gallery presented a unique challenge to the artist. Iurato incorporated his woodcuts into the space seamlessly. His presentation extends beyond the typical art exhibition of framed works displayed perfectly at eye level. You can spot his cut-outs hanging from the ceiling, peeking around corners, and climbing onto counters. The exhibition also features the photography of Iurato, demonstrating the street contexts in which his woodcuts have previously been found. Thought you'd like to check it out!
