Schroeder Romero and Shredder are pleased to announce the release of Brice Brown’s new limited edition multiple, TK. Continuing his exploration of the area where art, design and the decorative arts collide (final works often include actual antiques), Brown has here produced a 7 inch tall handmade pouch of luxurious hand-blocked Fortuny fabric, with a hemp and red coral bead drawstring. Inside the pouch is a 9 x 9 inch square of 19th century blue and white gingham textile, a sterling silver bird feather, and a bird beak cast in both sterling silver and 14k gold. The viewer is encouraged to spread out the gingham square, place the beaks and feather in the pouch, and gently roll the contents onto the textile. Each roll creates a different narrative as the beaks and feather orient themselves in countless ways. In this way, Brown intends TK (which is an editorial shorthand meaning “to come,” a place holder for information not yet known) to act much like an abstracted reading of tea leaves, a highly poetic game of chance.

Welcome to the Future
Schroeder Romero is thrilled to announce Schroeder Romero & Shredder, a new partnership seeking to redefine the way you look at contemporary art. Shedding the old model of what once defined a contemporary art gallery, Schroeder Romero & Shredder will open an exciting new space in early 2010 where two exhibitions will run side by side, encouraging a unique dialogue between the past and present.
This new hybrid program will be comprised of an exhibition of a contemporary artist's work buttressed by an exhibition of related historical material, responding to, or providing a new, deeper context. Imagine, Michael Waugh and German woodcut prints; William Powhida and Daumier, a stinging satirical duo; or Laurie Hogin and the fabulous 18th century Meissen porcelain monkey band. The possibilities are endless—and at times wildly unexpected—as we connect the multifarious dots of art history in exciting and surprising ways.
Schroeder Romero & Shredder will inaugurate our new adventure and gallery space with “Queening,” an installation of new works by Brice Brown, including sterling silver tables cast from a re-purposed 19th century example. The accompanying exhibition will feature works by Marcel Duchamp, among others.
This is a time of renewal. The question of art has never been what is hot. The question has always been, what endures.
Unsolicited submissions will not be considered at this time.
