“Pulse Demon” closes this Saturday 5/7 @belowgrandnyc 52 Allen St. - open Sat 12-5pm and by appointment- with Kadar Brock @kadar_brock_studio , Andrew Ross @andrewross_info , Allyson Vieira @allysonvieirastudio - curated by Bradley Milligan @bradleympaintings & David Arney @davisarney Here is one of my two works on paper included in the show - so happy to have this piece out in the world - “trace (And: Now)”, 2018-2023, wax oil pastel, oil, pastel, and dirt on paper with rips, 35.75”x31” and something I wrote about it: >This is quite a beat up, irregular form, and the white pattern attempts to create an order for the chaos, an airiness to its intense materiality. To me, it feels like a fragment of some possible larger whole. This pattern comes from a rubbing in white wax oil pastel of the painting ‘And: Now” in progress, which was completed in 2024, and included in my last solo show at James Fuentes. This paper had been around in stacks of paper on my floor for quite some time, mostly existing under my painting table from time to time, collecting oil paint and dirt over the years. When my studio flooded at the end of 2022, this paper was submerged, and gained intense wrinkles because of the water damage, that you can see from the oblique view. This also created a ripple effect in the rubbing. This ‘trace’ for me captures a particular movement of time and change, marking of both daily peripheral residue and sudden acts of chance, held together by the patterns of days always moving forward.<

Reception tonight! 6-8P: UN ART AUTRE, featuring works by Graham Collins, Jessica Dickinson, and Sean Noonan The title of the exhibition derives from Michel Tapié’s essay, “Un Art Autre.” The essay should serve as a reference, not a prescription; allowing oneself to be intimately open, willingly yearning, and ethereally drifting; to be impacted by the work as a whole, yet sensitive enough to allow oneself to delve into the details. Furthermore, the especially tender basis of this show is how it rests in practice, materiality, (non)gesture, and the places where these themes were contemplated on or explored. All of these themes coexist and undulate in their modality – yet in the utmost intentional way. WICK is a nomadic gallery operating in established and transient spaces, focusing on critically curated exhibitions. 315 SE MAIN ST MPLS 55414 Photography by Gene Bird Project support provided by the Visual Arts Fund, administered by Midway Contemporary Art with generous funding from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, New York. @visualartsfund @midwayart @warholfoundation

On view now: ‘Pulse Demon’ curated by Bradley Milligan and Davis Arney Jessica Dickinson, trace (Beneath – From/With), 2018-2022, pastel, oil pastel, dust, and oil on paper with fold, holes, Rips 45 1/2 x 20 in Part of a series she refers to as traces, Jessica Dickinson’s works— trace (Beneath – From/With) and trace (And: Now)—unfold organically alongside her paintings. Often developing over a period of years, these works absorb and record the processes of her studio practice: placed on the floor, moved throughout the space, and incorporating rubbings from accompanying paintings. Each carries its own specific history and materiality, indexing an unselective exposure to the conditions of the studio, including events such as a flood (as in trace (And: Now)).

Hello - this is one of two works on paper in the group exhibition “Pulse Demon” opening tomorrow night @belowgrandnyc curated by @bradleympaintings and @davisarney /// all info below ———- Pulse Demon’ curated by Bradley Milligan and Davis Arney BELOW GRAND / 52 Allen St., NY / Apr. 4 - May 9 Opening Saturday 5-7pm Hours: Saturdays 12-6pm and by appointment Below Grand is pleased to present a group exhibition including Kadar Brock, Jessica Dickinson, Andrew Ross, and Alyson Vieria. Borrowing its title from Pulse Demon (1996) by Japanese noise artist Merzbow, this exhibition explores feedback as both a framework and a generative method. In a musical context, feedback occurs when an output returns to its input, producing a loop that amplifies and distorts its source—often considered an unwanted byproduct of flawed sound engineering. Merzbow foregrounds this phenomenon, engaging and manipulating it deliberately. Similarly, the artists in this exhibition contend with feedback as a process of recombination, working with the often-overlooked remnants, precursors, and byproducts of studio practice. The works on view are not offcasts, but recalibrated materials—tools, surfaces, debris, and fragments—that have been reactivated and brought into focus as artworks in their own right. Some works gather and recontextualize the detritus of creative production, indexing the act of making or preserving otherwise ephemeral states. Others originate as instruments or supports for artistic creation, later assuming an autonomous objecthood beyond their initial function. Across these approaches, feedback becomes a productive loop: accumulation, reuse, and transformation converge as artists foreground what is typically discarded or obscured. In this way, the artist emerges as a prosumer, transmuting the reverberations of their own practice into works that render visible the entangled processes of consumption and production. ———- come see with eyes in body moving through space /// trace (Beneath – From/With), 2018-2022, Pastel, oil pastel, dust, and oil on paper with fold, holes and rips, 45 1/2 x 36 inches //
