About this event
Please join us on First Friday, October 2nd, from 5 to 8, for the opening reception of Drunken Boxing, a compelling new exhibit of the mixed-media paintings, video and working notebooks of Blake Liliane Hellman. Drunken boxing is a discipline of deliberate imbalance. The fighter trains rigorously, then lets that training go. It is a method of practiced relaxation, a devious carelessness. A misstep is not weakness, it is process in disguise. That same tension between discipline and surrender runs through the paintings of Blake Liliane Hellman, whose work explores that moment when conscious control abates just long enough to disarm both artist and viewer. Drunken Boxing runs from October 2nd to October 30th, open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11 to 5:30, Fridays and Saturdays 11 to 6
