Fabien Castanier Gallery presents ‘Rubber Time’ featuring Andrew Schoultz & Mark Jenkins

Saturday, May 20th from 6-9pm join us for the Opening Reception of Rubber Time at Fabien Castanier Gallery in the Wynwood Arts District, featuring Andrew Schoultz & Mark Jenkins.  In this upcoming dual exhibition, both artists will present new work, paintings and sculptures. “Rubber Time” refers to an idiom from Indonesia that expresses the tendency for a relaxed and flexible perspective on punctuality and time-keeping. Schoultz and Jenkins apply this concept of “elastic time” to our current societal climate in the United States, seeing the present period as a suspended limbo with troubling unknowns both in the past and in the near future. Their work touches on political and cultural issues with dark humor and irony, reflecting on what they see as the
development of a unique moment in history. Both of the artists often address societal issues that are not easy or comfortable to confront, but are relevant and necessary to reflect upon. While seeking out the dark corners of our current moment, Schoultz and Jenkins present the turmoil and anxiety with a tinge of hope for the future.
