12:06 AM: One Artist's Response to the A.I. 'Crisis'

Richard A. Jacobson 12 Sep - 7 Oct 2023 Richard A. Jacobson presents a new collection of work inspired by artificial intelligence and the legend of Robert Johnson - the famed guitarist who was rumored to have sold his soul to the devil, after a chance encounter at a crossroads, in exchange for supernatural playing ability. 12:06 AM, One Artist’s Response to the A.I. 'Crisis’ reimagines this legend, positioning the artist as Johnson and A.I. as the trade. Is the use of A.I. stripping artists of their very soul? A.I. is the most recent technological advancement touted to be the “death” of artists, and this collection reflects the anxiety that accompanies such grim predictions. Yet the very existence of an art show suggests hope. Read more

Wavelengths

Featured are paintings and sculptures that speak to you silently in the way a familiar friend calls out with a wordless glance; all that is given and all that is needed is the outward expression of internal thought – in the universal language of art. Artists included are Lola Erhart, Delfina Gómez Marestaing, Celia Lees, Fabiana Salomao, Steven K. Tucker, and David Wilstermann, all exhibiting for the first time with Abbozzo Gallery.
