The Fireworks

The Fireworks is being shown from 12 January 2011 at Isolation Room, 5723 Dewey Avenue, St Louis.  Curators Daniel McGrath & Dana Turkovic describe Isolation Room as 

"an evolving project that will focus on one artwork per exhibition cycle. each piece will be placed in a physical state of quarantine, situated in a modular viewing space inviting an extended period of contemplation. Building on an ongoing interest in containment, the constructed room allows for the smallest possible collaboration between the gallery space, curator, artist and audience. At its core one work stands in isolation. This is also an opportunity to protect work from a forced theme, loose contextualization or commercial exploitation. By placing the individual piece as a subject in isolation the work is then encouraged to exist and be perceived from an aesthetic standpoint."
