This body of work was made during a 2012 summer fellowship at the Albee Foundation in Montauk, NY. The project concluded in October with a show of selected works at Bill’s Junk in Houston, TX.
“Bill’s Junk is pleased to announce the opening of Shane Tolbert: Talk of Montauk, with an artist’s reception on Friday, November 16, 2012. A solo show of new, smaller paintings produced during the artist’s recent residency at the Edward Albee Foundation in Montauk, Long Island. Nine paintings, all under 20,” raid the icebox of modernist tropes to stock the gallery like an exotic aquarium store. The exhibition will be on view Saturdays between November 17 and December 22, and by appointment at Bill’s Junk (in the former Optical Project space) at 1125 E 11th st. Houston, TX 77009.”
