Rendezvous Right Now:

From October 3 to October 30, Dániel Perlaky presents Rendezvous Right Now at Pro-Jex gallery (17th + Guadalupe, Austin, TX). The show opens 6-9pm October 3. The 18 images presented here reflect the last two years of photographic works that have led to the formation of the Murmur Collective. The show features selected early highlights from the seminal Marfa excursion of 2001 (introduced in Abstraction 36, 2002) and introduces new images from journeys to Fredericksburg, San Antonio, and New Orleans. The show seeks to invoke the temporality of seeing and punctuate the necessity to discover the absolute now.

a Memory of Ordinary:

From September 25 to October 30, the murmur collective presents a Memory of Ordinary at Lava Java (26th + Medical Arts, Austin, TX). The show opens 8-10pm September 25. As a followup installment to a series of shows introduced at Art in the Hood in San Antonio, TX, the 24 images included in a Memory of Ordinary reflects the continuing collaborative efforts of artists John J.B. Terrill and Dániel Perlaky. This exhibition farther solidifies the æsthetic concepts proposed by the murmur collective and challenges viewers to regard the ordinary surroundings as visually engaging and provocative.

Art in the Hood:

From July 1 to July 30 the Murmur Collective takes part in Art in the Hood, a statewide art festival in San Antonio's Southtown arts district. Shortly after forming the Murmur Collective, artists Dániel Perlaky and John J.B. Terrill contributed two photographs each to Art in the Hood. The exhibit, which features nearly 100 artists, is the first collaborative showing of the aesthetic ideas expressed by the Murmur Collective.

28. MARCH 2002
Abstraction 36:

From April 3-30 Dániel Perlaky exhibits 16 new photographs at Quack's (43rd + Duval, Austin, Tx). The show is an extended memory of a hazy, sleepless, 36 hour excursion to Marfa, West Texas and features ordinary, found objects rendered as æsthetically valuable. The show emphasizes form, shape, color, texture, and balance and focuses on dissasociating common objects from their contextual environments. Through this isolation, the show posits that ultimately any ordinary object can be visually expressive.
