Painter Matthew Mann combines 14th century imagery with the cowboy archetype in a contemporary adaptation of Giotto's Scrovegni Chapel with The Cinecitta Chapel. Creating surreal and oftentimes humorous paintings, Mann interprets American-ness through the lens of Italian quattrocento painting and the gunslinger as defined by foreign-born filmmakers and writers.

Follow Matthew Mann’s progress at Matt’s Cinecitta Chapel Apparatus.

Patrick McDonough: reck room
September 10 – October 9, 2010
Opening reception: Friday, September 10, 7 – 9 p.m.
Pink (UN)Panel @ Flashpoint: September 26, 4 – 6 p.m.

Patrick McDonough will assemble mementos of the American rec room in an exhibition that investigates the role of play, domesticity and interaction in both contemporary art and life. A custom made and fully functional foosball-and-ping-pong hybrid game table will serve as the centerpiece to reck room. McDonough will also present etched mirrors that reference beer advertisement taxonomy, custom designed rugs and a Coors Light® slideshow.

On September 26th, Flashpoint will partner with Pink Line Project to host a Pink (UN)Panel @ Flashpoint. Visitors will be invited to participate in rec room activities and engage with the artist and one another in a casual environment complete with a live screening of the Redskins game, PBR and rec room snacks. There is a suggested donation of $10.

An essay by Martha Joseph will accompany the exhibition.
