Inside/Outside: Eddee Daniel + Philip Krejcarek

Exhibition dates: October 24,2010–January 5, 2011 Admission to the opening reception is free.

Eddee Daniel has been observing and photographing construction fences in the landscape for several years, attracted by their obtrusive color and the issues they raise about function, aesthetics—particularly in natural areas—and access. When he exhibited the photographs in 2009, Daniel created a more immediate experience for the viewer by also installing construction fences inside and outside the gallery space. At Lynden, Daniel will continue to explore the fences' ambiguous functionality, this time among the natural landscaping and permanent artworks of the sculpture garden. He will be joined by Philip Krejcarek, who is constructing sculptures that evoke ladders. Unlike the fences, these ladder-like forms will be defiantly non-functional. The collaborative project will range from the surreal to the whimsical, posing questions about the relationship between artistic creation and functional construction and playing on the very notion of collaborative sculpture. In the gallery, Daniel will present selections from his Accidental Art series—photographs depicting fences erected by construction contractors in natural areas—and Krejcarek will create sculptures using ladders, making a direct connection to the work outside.
