Caleb Weintraub
". . . with the bathwater"
September 1 - October 29, 2006 Projects Gallery & Projects Room
Projects Gallery presents its season premiere show “. . . with the bathwater” featuring the works of artist Caleb Weintraub. Weintraub deftly presents images of societies populated by destructive toddlers caught in an annihilisitic spiral.According to guest curator Cheryl Harper, “Weintraub is mesmerized by the lack of moral compass in today’s children. He presents a “what if” scenario . . ." crafted in the colors and materials associated with youth and innocence, depicting surreal and horrific scenes enacted by children.
Weintraub’s works are not just about the shock value. Nor are they about the materials used to depict these scenes. They are about the underlying moral commentary of the hyper-violent next generation, the celebration of destruction, and militant children sucked into the turbulent conflicts of their elders. Vastly relevant and expertly rendered, Caleb Weintraub’s "…with the bathwater" is guest curated by Cheryl Harper.
