Daily News | Modern art show is a ‘beacon of the alternative’ in rural Pennsylvania
POTTSVILLE, Pa.- A quaint American still life unfolds along a gravel driveway, just off a winding road in the hills here. A tiny, white cabin sits in the sun. Christmas trees grow in a field above it. Off to the side, there’s a red barn with a rusty basketball hoop hammered into its planks.
Oldham was one of six multidisciplinary artists whose work was on display Sunday at the opening of Cabin Contemporary’s “The Devil Made Me Do It” exhibit. Pieces included small acrylic paintings of devils, album covers made surreal with latex, and Oldham’s uncanny film. The goal of the small show — all of the art was displayed in the two-room cabin — was to offer something “benevolent yet mischievous,” its curator, Lance Rautzhan, said.
Like the artists in his exhibit, Rautzhan works in a variety of mediums, including paint, video, and even music. Every wall in his studio is covered in his latest interest: paint marker drawings of personal objects on found fabric.The Pottsville farmhouse became a place for friends and fellow artists to visit and relax in recent years, Rautzhan said, but the area, unlike the famed enclaves of upstate New York, wasn’t much of a destination for art.
“When we first moved back here, this looked like an abandoned ‘70s porn set, but it was filled with my grandmother’s knickknacks,” he said.
