Anno Domini presents...
1 WORLD let the world begin – February 4-24, 2005
Brad Isdrab & Lucien Shapiro
debut gallery exhibit and site specific installation
Brad Isdrab is 24 years old and desires to create a world that captures the experience of being in another place. “When I close my eyes I can find myself in other places, worlds. I want to express these worlds in whatever means I can.” Currently this manifests by taking ordinary objects, removing them from their context, replicating them, building upon them, and altering them to create something new. “When I take away its context, I find within it a new being.” The desire to see these things living and moving has led to animations and films with these new beings. “The characters I create are archetypes and pawns in a greater mythology in a story only I know. These are the things that I want to see in the world, these things that I see in my dreams. I want to revisit them.”
In a world that is constantly filled with conflict, destruction, and over indulgence, we strive for a better reality. A place to take our minds away from the chaos of order. A new world, Our world....
Lucien Shapiro started at a young age building small territories in his sand box. Later in life, still in the sandbox and graduating with a bachelors degree in sculpture, he makes dead things come alive with found parts and unique sculpting techniques. Shortly after graduation, a small line of hand made toys emerged and from that his world began to grow. Soon it will grow around him forming a giant bush in which he can never leave until he achieves all of his goals, so never.
