This exhibition, aptly titled Double Rainbow Rainbow, focuses on symmetry, patterns, radiant colors and positive energy. Each artist works in a variety of mediums in which they evoke macro and micro science, holograms, and rorschach tests. The results are hypnotic, powerful, sacred and sensual. While both artists share a similar obsessiveness and boldness, Maya's process appears effortless and instinctive and Jen's is more calculated and predetermined. Together these artists will present a visual delight that will melt your face.
Opening Reception: Thursday May 12th, 7 - 11pm

Jen Stark "Counter Cosmo", Acid-free Paper, Wood, 30" x 30" x 5", 2011
Jen Stark was born in Miami, FL in 1983 and received her BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2005 where she majored in Fibers with a minor in Animation. Stark's practice is based on the concepts of replication and infinity, her artwork echoing patterns and intelligent designs found in nature. The artist's optically and formally baffling sculptures, animations and drawings are inspired by plants, outer space, and the theories of colour, math and science. Her creations incorporate a variety of materials which produce optically hypnotic effects not unlike traditional mandalas and sacred objects. Jen Stark has exhibited her works in various galleries around North America as well as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami, the Girls' Club Collection, FL, and the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, FL. She was a recipient of the prestigious South Florida Cultural Consortium's Visual and Media Artists Fellowship in 2008. Stark lives and works in Miami, Fl.

Extreme Animals is Jacob Ciocci and David Wightman. Over the past 9 years this prolific duo has released countless CD-Rs, tapes and videos and gone on self-booked DIY tours at least once a year, influencing a wide array of younger musicians, artists and video-makers with their unique combination of noise, dance music, and performance art.
Their audience is a rare cross-over between art and music culture, allowing them to transition fluidly between galleries like Deitch Projects or museums like MOMA (automatic update, 2006) to legendary underground music venues like Wham City and The Smell. They have shared the stage with many of the most game-changing acts of the last 10 years including: Yacht, Lightning Bolt, Dan Deacon, Juiceboxxx, Teengirl Fantasy, and Javelin and they have releases out on critically acclaimed independent labels such as Load Records, DeathBomb Arc, Viscious Pop and Audio Dregs.
