Guardrail Damage Ahead

Tim Best and Eric Blake

April 4th - April 25th, 2009
Opening Reception: Saturday April 4th 6-10pm
Featuring DJ Jeff Ross

Guardrail Damage Ahead is an amalgamation of drawing, book craft, photography, and video.

Eric Blake's work based on a prearranged system of order suggests a basic truth or an underlying code. Comically the code cannot be contained. He begins from a base of minimal line drawing on paper and steps into a world of small, simple books that take on a life of their own, spiraling out of control into something resembling a three ring circus--in a quiet sort of way

Tim Best works from a foundation based in the corporate culture. He takes the perspective from inside the business suit. What should have been order and security turns out to be something else altogether. The characters he has created in photographs and on the screen are groomed for control--self-control, a controlled environment. But something has to give.
