Shotgun-Review- Pete Nelson again
The installation There aint No Party Like a Holy Ghost Party attempts to create a space where thoughts of faith and addiction can simultaneously exist. Traditionally these two states have inhabited separate landscapes socially. These two contriving terrains describe a dependency not on the other but rather on the polarity of their existence.
Nelson received a MFA from UC Berkeley, while at Berkeley; Nelson was named Anchor Fellow for the 2005-06 year and accepted a residency at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Recent exhibitions include Five Habitats at New Langton Arts, Event Horizon at the Transmissions Gallery and American Mythology II, Oliver Art Center, Oakland, CA.
