Opening Reception: July 2, 7-10PM at ART NOT TERMINAL 2045 Westlake Avenue


" (Con)Spire To Perfection " is a co-located exhibit of Greg Boudreau's " Spire " series, elements and aspects originally exhibited in November, 2008 at Form/Space Atelier.
Whereas the original exhibit festooned over 300 hand-cut hand-stenciled paintings on found wood (Boudreau's process) in Form/Space Atelier's unusually configured exhibit space, plus a site-specific intervention reminiscent of a construction-site crane, the updated retrospective " (Con) Spire To Perfection " turns the life-size gallery into a scale model, and situates the exhibit in another gallery across the city at Art Not Terminal gallery, 2045 Westlake Avenue.
The original klunky crow stencils are replaced with flimsy, gossamer archival inkjet prints of Boudreau's crows on parchment, and the scale of the prints is miniaturized to fit the scale model.
The scale model was constructed for an exhibit proposal for " Split Level ", by Paula Rebsom. August 2010's Split Level, Rebsom's most recent intervention at Form/Space Atelier, included a wall built down the center of the gallery, and was constructed in such a way as to allow Rebsom to return the 2x4's used to make the wall, back to Home Depot unscathed, for a full refund, a cost saving with integral design ingenuity. Pauper learned the value of reusing, making use of Rebsom's exhibit proposal model for " (Con) Spire To Perfection " .

The Art Not Terminal location will exhibit the " Spire series " prints in miniature, approximately 2 inches square, in the scale model. Hours are Mon-Sat 11:00 am - 6:00 pm, Sun. 12:00 p.m. - 5:00pm .

The Form/Space Atelier location will exhibit slightly larger prints, approximately 8x10 inches, of the Spire series, viewable through the gallery doors from the street-level entrance on 1st Avenue, round-the-clock.
