Have some Pye tonight

I love Nick and Sheila Pye. Their show opens tonight at Curators Office. It will be the usual madhouse at 1515 so I highly recommend you come back on a quieter day and spend some quality time with these breathtaking photographs.

A little about their work:

The Pyes relentlessly blur the borders between their lives and their art as they tackle the highly charged yet poetic issues that arise from their own relationship. But theirs is not a self-absorbed biographical fascination. Rather, the relationship depicted in their bodies of work becomes emblematic of all things that can go wrong in a mutually dependent and suffocating relationship. The Pyes' artistic output spans photography, film, performance, video, and installation while acknowledging the profound influences of surrealism in film, narrative conventions in painting, 19th and early 20th century portraiture, and conceptual approaches to subject matter.

Hanging out with Nick at the 'horn last night. I really wish I would remember to take more pictures at these fun After Hours things.
