NEW YORK.- The Stux Gallery presents The Inner Workings of Cold Contact, an exhibition curated by Joshua Altman on view through September 9, 2006. The exhibition features Ann Hamilton, Dennis Oppenheim, Mathilde ter Heijne, Manabu Yamanaka and others. This show addresses isolated moments of solitude and inner reflection; the exhibition also attempts to address societies’ seemingly inherent need to “look back,” and replay lost moments.

During the recent past, Stux Gallery has concentrated on exhibiting mid-career and emerging artists ranging from painting and photography to sculpture, installation, and performance artwork. Within the last year and a half, Stux Gallery began a program called “Video Windows” whereby we showcase the video work of international artists. The thrust of Stux Gallery’s overall program is to cover a broad spectrum of artists from the United States, Europe, the Far East, the Middle East, and Africa while maintaining eclectic, modernist aesthetics of the highest quality with an element of surprise within the formal aspects of the chosen medium.

Currently Stux Gallery has been concentrating on the works of photographers Manabu Yamanaka (Japan), Margi Geerlinks (Holland), Iké Udé (Nigeria/USA), Michael Timpson (Ireland/USA), and painters Thordis Adalsteinsdottir (Iceland/USA), James Richards (Los Angeles), Angelina Nasso (Australia/USA), Nicky Nodjoumi (Iran/USA), James Busby (USA), Heide Trepanier (USA), and Darren Wardle (Australia/USA) and the sculpture of Clay Ervin (USA). Within the last few years an ambitious video program has been introduced into the gallery. We have exhibited approximately 30 different video artists during this period.

Amongst the most exciting and newest additions to the gallery is one of the original founders of OPtical Art, Julian Stanczak, with whom the gallery is planning a major retrospective exhibit highlighting his art of the past 40 years.
