Tempus in Re :: Time as Thing

A solo show that brings together sculpture, drawings and prints or artist-Friend, Jerry Bleem, O.F.M.  The work can be approached as an assemblage of marks that visually organize and create surfaces; these discrete stapled, drawn, sewn and printed lines might also be seen as a physical commentary on the human process of constructing coherence.  Time, Bleem's central consideration, is a precious commodity in contemporary culture.  It has been used to measure worth (the familiar “time is money”) and employed as an organizing principle.  Bleem’s work, reduced to its essential components, chronicles the moments during which each of these non-monumental gestures was made.  His art practice seems devoted to expending time, making it matter, and describing it as abundant in contradistinction to its usual characterization.
