Nick Black, Pickle
Press Release:
Clutch Gallery is pleased to present Pickle by Nick Black. Nick Black is a maker, a tinkerer, a mad scientist whose materials are animatronic plastic novelties cobbled together to create a sublime clusterfu**K. Pickle is a work that on the surface has all the elements of a bawdy practical joke, but when activated the grinding rotation of miniature dill pickle and the raising up of a mechanized crocheted flower reveals a layer of self-effacing wit.
Nick Black was born in Chicago in 1958. He has attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, DePaul University, the University ofIllinois at Chicago, and the Massachusetts College of Art. His recent exhibitions include Byron Cohen Gallery in Kansas City, Uncle Freddy’s Gallery in Highland, IN, Joymore Gallery in Chicago, theChicago Cultural Center and he recently created an installation for Pop-up Art in the Chicago Loop.
Clutch Gallery is a year long curatorial project located in my purse. I have had to pare down to carrying the basic necessities to eek out this 25 square inch white cube that is dedicating to exhibiting contemporary art of all media. Clutch opened in December of 2009 and will run until December of 2010.
