ABOUT THE SHOW
Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of recent work by Quebec photographer Roberto Pellegrinuzzi at VOLTA New York from March 4-7, 2010. Now in its 3rd edition, VOLTA NY was introduced in 2008 as a partner to the prestigious Armory Show. VOLTA NY was conceived as a tightly curated solo project fair highlighting the best of today’s cutting-edge art to complement its more established sibling. Both fairs work closely together, sharing VIP programs, panel series and shuttles. VOLTA NY is organized around a different theme every year by Director Amanda Coulson. The individual presentations require direct involvement and the presence of the artist, giving the visitor more direct access akin to a studio visit. For VOLTA NY the artist has decided to re-create a large installation that was exhibited in the fall of 2009 at the gallery. Fougère is a twelve-foot long, three layer photograph of a fern leaf, printed on Mylar and pinned directly onto the wall. The artist deconstructs and subsequently re-constructs the image of the plant, creating a startling effect of three-dimensionality as the viewer moves in front of the piece. This museum-quality work will be the centerpiece of the gallery’s booth and will be an impressive introduction for the New York art scene to Pellegrinuzzi’s practise. For information on hours of operation and tickets as well as general information on the fair please visit the official website at: ---
Roberto Pellegrinuzzi was born in Montreal in 1958. He lives and works in Montréal and Bolton-est. Since 1985, his work has been exhibited in over fifty solo exhibitions in Canada and in Europe.
