Final Cohabitants Pics
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Shows
If you aren’t already sick of pictures from Cohabitants, then you certainly will be after this post! For those of you who didn’t make it up to the show these pictures are for you. While up in Abingdon a few weeks ago, I decided to take a few more pictures of the show that might enhance the remote viewing (from the comfort of your own computer) of the exhibit. I like to think of these pictures as a slightly further in-depth analysis of the experience of being there.
New Gallery Added!
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Prints
A new gallery has been added! Just click on the Galleries link above (then scroll down to Miscellaneous Artwork) or just click here to view it. The Miscellaneous Artwork gallery contains a several prints and drawings that I kind of forgot about over the past few years. Most of them have only been on exhibit in one or two shows (or not at all!). One of my favorites is Oblivination (from 2007?) pictured below. Oblivination is a series of five framed intaglios with clear & translucent vinyl (thanks Logan!) adhered to the glass.
Transmeanderation Helix (3rd time’s a charm!)

Below are images of Transmeanderation Helix. This is the third time I have displayed this particular drawing installation. The first incarnation at my solo exhibition Schema, seen here, was a little over 29 feet and included a second black vinyl portion. The second incarnation from my solo exhibition Organism, seen here, was a mere 13 feet. And, now, for Cohabitants, it has been transformed (cut down actually) to a little over 16 feet to fit the space in which is currently resides.
The reason I reference Transmeanderation Helix as a drawing installation is because each time it is is installed it is: 1. cut down to fit into the space provided by the gallery, 2. adhered directly to the wall and 3. framed by custom moulding that is cut, painted, and nailed directly to the wall in each new incarnation. In this sense, it can technically be considered a site-specific installation (though I’m using the interpretation of that term very loosely).
One final note: I would like to thank Ed Mazure (my father) for all of the photos that you have been seeing from the Cohabitants show. (The photos below are credited to both Ed Mazure and the lovely Kyra Dosch-Klemer).
Sold!

For those of you who have had your eye on this little diddy, you can kiss your dreams goodbye! Evolution of a Thought has been sold! It has been hanging in the Chapel Hill Town Hall (as part of the Public Art Series) for a few months this summer and it caught the eye of a passerby — and just like that, it is no longer in my possession! I greatly appreciate all of the help Steve Wright (Public Art Coordinator) has given me throughout the exhibit — thanks for being extremely accommodating!

Special thanks to Adam Ansorge for all of his help putting this video together and to the Mazure family for lending out their HDTV for an extended period of time!
Rosetta
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Installations
Rosetta is comprised of grey and white vinyl prints adhered to the walls of the gallery and traverse approximately half of the gallery, including the white walls where Transmeanderation Helix is installed and the grey wall where Remnants of Taurus resides.
Rosetta was a very fun and interesting interactive project that took much longer to complete than I had originally planned. Though the overall scope of the project leans itself more toward the conceptual realm, I feel that it works well with the other pieces in the exhibit (as it was intended to) that are more focused on aesthetics than concept.
If you want to find out what Rosetta is all about, please refer to my previous posts:
