By -
Charles Gaines, Liudni Slibinai
Thursday, November 7, 7pm
Liudni Slibinai (which translates to sad, three-headed dragon) makes playful pop-music that borrows from Lithuanian folk tunes and is animated through musical theater techniques. The multi-talented group, which collaborated with My Barbarian for the 2009 Baltic Triennial, will join Courtesy the Artists while visiting NYC on their first US tour. Opening the evening will be artist Charles Gaines, father and father-in-law to Courtesy the Artists, who is known for his conceptual and systematic works that sometimes refer to musical forms. Trained in jazz performance, Gaines will play a short piano set using a traditional song as a starting point for exploration.

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
