WORKERS HOLIDAY Staniunas and Hinterlang are recent transplants to central Ohio, from Philadelphia and the Bronx, respectively. Staniunas' large format figurative paintings and Hinterlang's variably-installed digital drawings cover a broad territory of sensibilities -- from East German realism to scatter plots and transit maps -- which, on the surface, as Staniunas himself said, "may not appear ahem synergistic." Bonded by musical affinities, geography, Iron City, Straub's and fatigue, the two developed a united front. "It was important to both of us that an official culture not substitute itself for, nor interfere with an expression of the autonomous imperatives of a self-legitimating community," said Hinterlang. Said Staniunas, "A work's legitimacy derives not from the official sanction of some twat in Le Corbusier glasses, but from the use-value the work provides to, or arouses in its community." The show opens on a day traditionally associated with an interval between periods of toil, set aside to glorify the permanent penal servitude of the wage laborer through song, dance and drink. Their drawings will occupy the Kenyon College Department of Art's Gazebo Installation Building for the month of May. CLICK HERE FOR DIRECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
