SIX CHIX DATES: September 4 - 29, 2007 RECEPTION: Thursday, September 6, 2007 6-8 pm OPEN HOUSE: Saturday, September 8, 2007 5-7 pm	ADDRESS: 511 West 25 Street, Suite 605, NYC HOURS: Tuesday - Saturday. 12 - 6 PM

is pleased to present Six Chix, a group exhibition including artists Patricia Berube, Elizabeth Bisbing, Darla Bjork, Lucy Hodgson, Nelleke Nix and Madelaine Shellaby. The show presents bodily constructions and organic structures, exploring the relationship between archetypes of the female and the natural world. The works of Berube, Bisbing and Nix examine female icons and identity transformation throughout time. Fossilized in Patricia Berube's gelatin prints, female forms allude to ancient traditions of fertility and death. Elizabeth Bisbing's paper constructions use powerful color to depict the contemporary ebb and flow of the life domestic. Nelleke Nix engages our eyes to consider "the chick," the accoutrement, the prop, in her mixed media watercolor and blown glass works. Hodgson, Bjork and Shellaby explore the ebb and flow of fluid organic structures and symbols, utilizing natural materials such as wood, metal, stone and wax. Lucy Hodgson incorporates reusable materials into her architectural structures, referencing an earthly permanence that shadows our temporal human state. Darla Bjork's encaustic and oil pieces provide a needed sanctuary of natural beauty and illumination. Madelaine Shellaby's digital prints reflect the complex and interactive connection to the earth, and our long, mutual past, present and future. SOHO2O Gallery was founded in 1973 in New York's SOHO district, as a non-profit, artist run organization by 20 women artists devoted to the mission of increasing public awareness of the excellence and diversity of women's art.
