Exhibit dates: 17 January 2008 – 23 February 2008
Opening reception: Thursday, 17 January 2008, 6 – 8 PM

d berman gallery is delighted to present Exchange, an exhibition featuring Catherine Lee and Bodo Korsig, two longtime friends showing together for the first time.

Catherine Lee was born in Pampa, Texas, and now lives and works in Wimberley and New York. She has shown her work in galleries and museums throughout the world, most recently in New York City, San Antonio, Dublin, Köln, Copenhagen, Toulon, and St. Etienne. Her sculptural work is now on permanent display in the atrium of the new Blanton Museum in Austin. Nancy Princenthal, in her Irish Museum of Modern Art catalogue essay, describes the central quality of Lee’s work as an ability to dissolve the distinction between the animate and the inanimate. “From her most intimate table-top ceramic objects to the large free-standing bronze sculptures, Lee’s work is endowed with a presence that is simultaneously geological and human.”

Bodo Korsig primarily lives and works in Trier, Germany and New York and has exhibited extensively internationally. He has recently exhibited in Hamburg, New York, Dresden, Los Angeles, Prague, Copenhagen, Barcelona, and Xiamen. “Bodo Korsig’s work is both funny and serious. He plays with the subconscious, the familiar, the mundane, and the minuscule. He gets you though, hitting you head on with the periphery, turning things around, stretching, reorienting. His art can be painting, print, or sculpture. Everything is hung on the walls, some coming out a bit from the wall, such as his painted aluminum works. Even the paintings, despite their diminutive sizes, are made on very thick stretchers so they jut out into the space.” - D. Dominick Lombardi
