Visual Arts fellow Jarrod Beck will be using the gallery to develop the first phase of a performance and installation to be presented in the spring. The correspondence between a sculptor and an architect in the throes of an intimate and ill-fated fugue will be used to instruct a series of drawings, text-based pieces and videos. Jarrod Beck is an artist with a background in architecture and printmaking. His drawings, prints, and large scale installations grapple with the space between construction and collapse. For more information, please visit: www.jarrodcharlesbeck.com. JARROD BECK was born in Albany, New York, and earned an MFA from the University of Texas at Austin and a Master of Architecture degree from Tulane University. Beck's large scale installations have most recently been shown at the South Street Seaport Museum in New York, and at the Lawndale Art Center and Second Floor Gallery, both in Texas. In 2010, he began a permanent installation on five acres of land in the Chihuahuan Desert in Texas. In 2011, he created Duende, a performance woven into an installation of sculpture, prints, and drawings at the Instituto Cervantes in New York. Beck's work is included in the Judith Rothschild collection of contemporary drawings at the Museum of Modern Art and has been reviewed in the New York Times, the New Yorker, the Village Voice, and the Austin Chronicle.

EXHIBITION: ROB SWAINSTON, BELOW ORION'S BELT Opening: Friday, February 3, 6–8pm Exhibition Dates: February 3–5

In the Provincetown night sky, somewhere Below Orion’s Belt, is Wall of Noise Nebula and its mixed print media Star Cluster Orchestra. Join artist and Fine Arts Work Center Fellow Rob Swainston for a journey in spaceship Hudson D Walker Gallery to visit Wall of Noise Nebula, a 20x17 foot woodblock print/soundstage/lightshow/video. Misbehaving actors attempt to tear down Wall of Noise, but the video cannot touch the impermeable topography of the printed image. Guy Debord tells us the spectacle perfected is power consolidated as pure image. If Wall of Noise is Debord’s Spectacle Capitalism, then it’s Star Cluster Orchestra is Naomi Klein’s Disaster Capitalism; master printer is replaced by disaster printer. Master printers are technocrats, proto-machines and image-smiths in the Spectacle-Image order. Star Cluster Orchestra posits a new printmaker, the disaster printer, with a series of mixed experimental woodblock, lithography, silkscreen, intaglio, collagraph, monotype, digital, and offset prints produced at FAWC’s recently hopped-up and fine tuned Michael Mazur Print Studio. The disaster printer resists instramentalization and recuperation. He/she does not say ‘this is image’, rather they ask ‘what is the significant image.’ ARTIST TALK: Sunday, February 5, 3pm Artist Rob Swainston discusses experimental printmaking strategies and his work in the FAWC Gallery ROB SWAINSTON'S work crosses from print and paper into sculpture, installation, and video in an attempt to uncover social processes and reveal the contemporary status of the image. Rob received his BA from Hampshire College in 1997 and his MFA from Columbia University in 2006. He attended Skowhegan in 2007 and the Marie Walsh Sharpe Studio Program from 2009 to 2010.
