Opening Reception:
Thursday, April 2, 2009 , 6-8pm

Land Of The Free
Shortly before his death in 1940, Walter Benjamin famously observed that “There is no document of civilization that is not at the same time the document of barbarism”. This apocalyptic yet redemptive concept of history deeply relates to the psychedelic visionary interiors and landscapes in this show encapsulating a telling historical ambivalence at once hopeful in its vision of the future and yet harsh in its view of what precedes it.

Beautiful/Decay magazine and the Kopeikin Gallery celebrate the release of Beautiful/Decay’s Issue Z with a retrospective exhibition of 26 artists appearing in the current issue. Please join us for the opening or come see the show during it's now extended run.

To commemorate reaching the culmination of the alphabet, Beautiful/Decay has selected 26 exemplary artists to create a unique visual work for the show, using the publication’s name, Beautiful/Decay, as the basis of their conceptual framework. Each of the artists was selected from the magazine’s 10-year history in art and design publishing. The exhibit acknowledges each of the artists’ influential contributions to the arts, and highlights Beautiful/Decay’s prominent role in serving as a platform for creative expression. The myriad results showcase an exploration into what the publication represents to the creative community.

Participating artists include: Aaron Noble, Ai Kijima, Ala Ebtekar, Alex Trochut, Aya Kato, Barnaby Whitfield, Charlie Roberts, David Shaw, Eric Yahnker, Erik Parker, Erika Somogyi, Gary Taxali, Jacob Magraw, Julia Randall, Mark Schoening, Michael Scoggins, Pearl C. Hsiung, Pepe Mar, Robbie Conal, Scott Anderson, Scott Treleaven, Simmons and Burke, Skwak, SunTek Chung, Stella Lai, and Wendell Gladstone.

About Beautiful/Decay
Issue Z is a milestone achievement in the print life of Beautiful/Decay magazine. Beginning as a DIY, self-bound, black and white publication nearly 10 years ago, Beautiful/Decay has since grown into an internationally published, full color go-to creative sourcebook. Since its inception, Beautiful/Decay has been a leader within creative publishing, by foregrounding and supporting some of today’s leading artists and designers.

About Kopeikin Gallery
Always pushing the boundaries between a variety of art media, Kopeikin seeks to redefine the way art is seen and experienced, dissolving preconceived notions of defined genres, most notably photography and drawing. Kopeikin strives for a level of flexibility, sometimes exhibiting work that straddles these genres in interesting and challenging ways. The Kopeikin gallery stands as a friendly meeting ground for collectors and artists alike to come together and discuss not only the business of art, but the process by which art comes into being.

Aquamanile, late 14th century
Southern Netherlands
Bronze; 13 1/4 in.
Robert Lehman Collection, 1975
The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Description
An aquamanile is a vessel for pouring water used in the ritual of washing hands in both religious and secular contexts—by the priest before Mass and in a private household before a meal. The subject of this celebrated example is the moralizing legend of Aristotle and Phyllis, which achieved popularity in the late Middle Ages. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher and tutor of Alexander the Great, allowed himself to be humiliated by the seductive Phyllis as a lesson to the young ruler, who had succumbed to her wiles and neglected the affairs of state. Encouraging Alexander to witness his folly, Aristotle explained that if he, an old man, could be so easily deceived, the potential consequences for a young man were even more perilous. The ribald subject indicates that this aquamanile was made for a domestic setting, where it would have doubled as an object of entertainment for guests at the table.
