Words from the curator Raphy Griswold:

The Gods of Sight and Sound, dripping with the blood and tears of Kunstwollen, have crawled from the Great River of New England to bring us this summer’s most awesome audiovisual onslaught. Liquid Swords, fabric demons, and the garden of earthly delights converge in this heavenly flood. RELEASE THE RIVER! showcases the art of emerging Northampton artists, all masters of the pen and the amplifier. Forsaking the photocopier, this group of draftsmen, painters, printmakers, sculptors, and
musicians has exploded into the APE Gallery this August in a three-element show curated by Raphael Griswold. Exhibition cum performance space, the APE will host a month-long visual art installation accompanied by a series of musical events, performances, and an artists’ book fair.

Lauren Pakradooni brings us recent drawings and prints from the realm of wigs and fungus. With pizza box sketchbooks Dan Cashman, Jess Goddard, Jeff Hartford, George Myers, Bill Nace, Crystal Regan, Phinehas Roy, and Joshua Vrysen have constructed the world’s first secret drawing megawall. Each of these heartyvoyagers was assigned an identical hand-bound notebook in which to expunge the deepest depths of their artistic ouvre. The recombinant product is one giant mass of individual pages. Sculptor and fiber worker, Angela Zammarelli is the fabric that holds it all together.

Three rivulets, one river. Break the dam! RELEASE THE RIVER!
