 Jim Lee: Untitled (Rust 2 Slit), 2007 acrylic and flashe paint on linen over wood, 11.25 x 14.5 x 9.25 in / 28.6 x 36.8 x 23.4 cm Jim Lee Altamont Peter Garfield Deep Space 1 For his first solo exhibition at Freight + Volume Jim Lee will exhibit a series of new sculpture/painting hybrids that reflect his quirky brand of humor and present themselves as abstract solutions that slip in and out of recognition. Glossy surfaces, exposed three-dimensional wood skeletons set behind canvas, a stretcher bar on loan as a sculptural component and calculated brushstrokes that emulate texture are techniques Lee employs to develop his work. An obsessive collector of industrial and consumer detritus, the artist fashions from these materials sly and innocuous objects that give attention to the nuances of production, surface and effect - always keeping your eye wanting more.  Peter Garfield: Deep Space 1, 2007 film still In the project space Peter Garfield will premier his three channel video installation "Deep Space 1". In this epic, a query about the nature of free will, Garfield takes us on a dizzying journey through various dimensions. The camera glides through a landscape, through a decor, through a room, straight through walls - without having to stop once. "Deep Space 1" was nominated for a Tiger Award for Short Film at the 2007 International Film Festival Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and was screened earlier this month at MassMoCa in conjunction with the exhibition "Adam Cvijanovic & Peter Garfield: Unhinged."
