"Two Artists Display at Mt Airy Gallery"

Craig Kane’s thoughtfully playful small scale sculptures and installations leave one with the feeling that something very personal and lighthearted is unfolding for the viewer. Tiny narrative vignettes assembled from improvised materials draw directly from Kane’s relationships, personal history and the history of his own art practice. What comes together forms a story, a dialogue between Kane’s art and his own life.

Timon Meyer’s work - in which digital stills of daytime television shows and personal imagery culled from the internet are manipulated in subtle and not so subtle ways - conflates mythological fantasy with contemporary culture. Minotaurs, centaurs and suggestions of mythological beings exist in our every day world. The images themselves are both straightforward and unsettling, since whose mythology we’re seeing seems to shift. Mount Airy Contemporary Artists Space is an artist-run exhibition space. We mount shows that emphasize connections between art communities and networks among artists. Andrea and Colin Keefe co-direct the space, and are both visual artists.

First Friday Picks
By Roberta Fallon

Queens artists Craig Kane and Timon Meyers mine pop culture, mythology and personal history at Mount Airy Contemporary. Kane’s tiny, delicate sculptural installations in boxes, on the floor or on the wall use found materials—such as photos and tree branches—with hand-carved words to whisper about the ephemeral nature of life and human vulnerability. Meyers’ easel-sized digital photos merge appropriated television images from daytime tv with appropriated online images of mythological creatures like centaurs, the minotaur and elves. Television’s garish colors and harsh lighting make a great backdrop for beast-on-beast fighting scenes and close-ups of elfin-eared ladies.

"Review: and so on and so forth"
By James Rosenthal

Lone hours in the studio crafting and packaging your zeitgeist is not enough these days. In fact, even if you have your finger on the pulse and produce firm ideas that encapsulate engaging images and objects, that ain’t enough either. Art is expected to somehow transcend history and also speak in the jargon of Contemporary Art. It is a refined and complex language as well as a contextual message from the gut. How do know if you are accomplishing this? Well, it is only through some interaction with the “white cube.” The experience gives young artists a taste of responsibility involved in embarking on serious art making.

"Mt. Airy residents bring fine art to First Friday"
By Patrick Cobbs

With visual artists Colin and Andrea Keefe's May 1 opening of a new gallery at 25 West Mt. Airy Avenue, the two Brooklyn transplants are set to make this week's First Friday look a bit like an Old City arts crawl.
"It's like a mix of backyard barbeque and high art," Colin joked.
But while the setting of the back lot carriage house is undeniably residential, the show inside has every appearance of a 3rd Street gallery. In fact, the details of the project are shaping up to be a convincing illustration of the power, and grace, of social networking in the art world.

"First Friday Focus"
By Lori Hill

Living the creative life usually requires a bit of social networking, and Brooklyn transplants Colin and Andrea Wohl Keefe are fully embracing this fact for their inaugural show. The couple are using the carriage house of their Mount Airy home as an informal exhibition space. Their first show, called "and so on and so forth," started with the idea of working "with people you trust, and trust them to make decisions you can believe in," says Colin.
