Overview
castaneda/reiman
Sep 29, 2011 – Jan 22, 2012 • Viewing Corridor
Charlie Castaneda and Brody Reiman, of the collaborative castaneda/reiman, create a minimalist installation using the landscape as their starting point. With found flea market paintings of forests, lakes and hillsides and common construction materials including drywall, plywood and plaster, castaneda/reiman investigates the treatment of the outdoors within interior domestic spaces; challenges artistic notions of display, especially as they relate to painting and sculpture; and plays with ideas of simulacra and simulation.
Artist Bio
Castaneda/reiman (Charlie Castaneda and Brody Reiman) live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their current work takes the form of built landscapes suggesting both the natural world and domestic dwellings. These installations, ranging in size, always suggest architectural form, construction, and habitation. Each artist received her BFA at Carnegie Mellon University and her MFA at the University of California, Davis. They have been the recipients of the Fleishhacker Foundation Eureka Fellowship and Artadia Grant. Castaneda/reiman’s works have been featured in numerous exhibitions, including DCKT Contemporary (New York), Stephen Wirtz Gallery (San Francisco), Baer Ridgway Exhibitions (San Francisco) and the Oakland Museum of California.
