171 Cedar Arts Center is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition by Tom Galambos and Greg Lendeck titled, Instances 3. The exhibition is on display October 10 - November 11, 2011 in 171 Cedar Arts Center's Houghton Gallery. The exhibit reception will take place on Friday, October 14, 5:30 - 7:30 PM. The reception kicks off with a short artist talk at 5:30 PM. The event is free and open to the public.

Instances 3 is a collaborative installation of two-dimensional work by Galambos and Lendeck. The exhibit displays work created by the artists individually, in their respective studios. The work is then interspersed with a collaborative mural painted on site. As a dialogue is created between their individual work, the artists capture this dialogue in the collaborative mural. In their exhibit statement, Galambos and Lendeck write, "Ultimately, the gallery space functions as a laboratory for us, where current finished drawings serve as raw material for new cross-pollinated formulations of narrative concepts and imagery."

"Our work involves drawings developed as narrative constructs. We are interested in the formulation of narrative as captured and fractured bits of time. With Instances we have developed an ongoing and organic body of work that deals with narrative imagery in broad and specific terms. It opens an arena for collaboration and dialogue between our individual interests as artists and the possibilities of interchange between our separate bodies of work."
Tom Galambos and Greg Lendeck, Instances 3.

Galambos is a painter and cartoonist. His work explores the experience of memory and the ways in which the brain constructs memory as a creative act. Lendeck's work is inspired by nature and the universe. With his work, he documents a personal interpretation of cosmologic structures and interactions. Separately, Galambos and Lendeck's work create strong and complete individual bodies of work yet when paired together, their work creates a new and dynamic dialogue and cohesive exhibition.

Galambos holds a M.F.A. in Painting from Washington University. His self-published comic book All the Wrong Places was recognized by the Time Magazine website as one of the best comics of 2001. Lendeck holds a M.F.A. in Sculpture from Ohio University and his work has been shown throughout the united states. Both artists currently reside in the Rochester, New York, area.

171 Cedar Arts Center's Houghton Gallery is located in the Drake House at 155 Cedar Street, at the corner of Cedar and East First Streets, in Corning, New York. The Houghton Gallery is open Monday - Thursday, 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM, Friday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, and during Drake House events.

This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of William Gudenrath, Eric Meek, Josh Simpson, New York State Council on the Arts, and Wegmans.
