Annelise E. Ream
Feb 14th, 11am
The question “What was the appearance of your face before your ancestors were born?” exemplifies what Buddhists call a koan, a meditation tool intended to upset and unbalance the mind and to help the open and relaxed person in contemplation transcend conceptual barriers imposed by language.
In her paintings and drawings, Annelise E. Ream juxtaposes incongruent, often irrational and absurd, images to create visual koans that provide space for the viewer to explore the fragile relationship between objects and meaning. Annelise will be sharing her sketchbooks and working process at Open Source Gallery’s Sunday Sermon on February 14th at 11:00am.
Refreshments will be served during every cHURCH of MONIKA sermon.

FUSEWORKS: feb 13th – mar 8th
Opening reception on Friday, February 13th, from 7-10pm
Fuse Works exhibits multiples and editions by artists who approach editioned artwork as a field of artistic discourse and inquiry itself, rather than simply a means of mass-producing their efforts. Fuse Works is an independent, itinerant curatorial endeavor organized by Amanda Alic and Ethan Crenson. The program maintains a small home base at the Front Room gallery in Brooklyn and offers a virtual storefront online (www.fuse-works.com). Following the exhibition, Open Source will become the second gallery location in Brooklyn to offer Fuse Works editions.
The exhibition features works by Luca Bertolo, Chiara Camoni, Heidi Cody, Gregory Curry, Lisa DiLillo, Domenick Di Petrantonio, Double A Projects (Athena Robles and Anna Stein), Glen Einbinder, Cadence Giersbach, David Kramer, James Leonard, Oscar Perez, Marcin Ramocki, Matt Richards and Jan Sokota.
On Saturday February 28th at 8pm join us at Open Source for a performance by Fuse Works artist James Leonard. Leonard’s performance will brief us on his Warbonds Certificates, a monetary instrument which he sells in order to finance the completion of an ambitious installation project. The bonds incorporate many of the details and security features that genuine government bonds use, including a holographic foil tape, microprinting and chemically sensitive watermark paper stock. Leonard’s performance touches on every aspect of the Warbonds, from philosophical to physical. Following the performance Leonard will sell Warbonds to the public, a process which involves multiple signatures, official embossed seals and a questionnaire.
