When planning exhibits, Tinney director John Reed strives to make choices that are unpredictable and unconventional--recent shows have ranged from the Lost Boys of Sudan's ceramic masks to Cambridge Jones' celebrity-studded fashion photos. For Stop Look Listen, he's brought together three young artists who are, respectively, a painter, a photographer and a sculptor. Their work is united, says Reed, by the theme of recognition, and the fraught process of trying to communicate. Hart, a Watkins professor, manipulates images of faces and bodies through photomontage; in one shot, a woman with two right eyes and multiple mouths appears against an ominous black background. Lascu's wax sculptures create absurd images like an armless man accessorized with a carnival mask.
