The delicate romanticism of Arisa Odawara’s illustrations in ink conjure hazy phantom-memories of a budding love, in all its youthful earnestness. At times mischievous, such as the two young girls plotting to overturn and capture an unassuming boy on a rock, My Drawings is a sensitively rendered collection of intimate scenes and imagery from a Tokyo suburb during Springtime. Odawara’s zine holds a selection of twenty-four tender tableaus out of the artist’s over 2000 drawings of the last ten years.
Original 11x17 printout from David Ellis' iconic Roebling Hall exhibition "Dozens", 2008. NYC where attendees of the exhibition were encouraged to take a copy.
The most elaborate and layered piece in the show is “Oh Superman,” which pays homage to Laurie Anderson’s premonitory performance (and eponymous song). Ellis’s rhythmic “Oh Superman” is a combination typewriter and player piano. In the shape of Superman’s emblem, Anderson’s lyrics are typed on the piano rolls then mechanically cut and inserted into glass bottles, which roll off in random directions to deliver an S.O.S.: “Here come the planes. They’re American planes. Made in America.”
We see the same Superman emblem in a bird’s-eye view projection of Ellis’s painting the top of packing crates. Another reference to planes appears in a found text for airplane safety, used in one of a series of college panels hung throughout the gallery. The panels are composed of various texts and drawings, including his to-do lists, and a wave-like form resembling a graffiti tag.
