TWO CONCURRENT solo exhibitions featuring painted sculptural assemblages by Cordy Ryman and real-time generative digital work by Brandon Morse opened on Saturday evening, January 15, 2011, at Conner Contemporary Art in Washington, D.C.

Paul So, founder of Hamiltonian Gallery (www.hamiltoniangallery.com).

THIS IS Cordy Ryman's first solo exhibition with the gallery, and he presents a new series of playful works created with paint, wood, metal, Velcro and scraps recycled from his studio floor. Ryman, whose New York solo show was identified this fall as "one of the sleepers of the season" by Roberta Smith, is known for continuous experimentation in constructing, altering, and reconstruction painted geometric forms.

"HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM" is Brandon Morse's third solo exhibition with Conner Contemporary Art, and he presents a series of new real-time generative digital videos examining large-scale natural occurring phenomena. The chaos and complexity of climatic and geological events continually inspire Morse to apply sets of variables to create imagery-producing systems, which he considers as analogues to human sociological conditions.

CONNER Contemporary Art is located at 1358 Florida Ave., N.E., Washington, D.C., Tel. 202-588-8750. For more information: www.CONNERCONTEMPORARY.com.
