How can it be expressed, this moment! The erotic glance of a lover, the sadness of loss. Hands say so much, the way a person holds a cigarette; smoke curling into the blackness. At this moment she's so beautiful, but what lies in the shadows? Why does his arm reach into the void? Are hands as expressive as the eyes? I don't know, but I want to explore the idea. Hidden or in the foreground, in the shadows, or staring at you with a million possibilities. Inviting, expressing grief, remorse, or just plain self absorption. The human face and hands are so fascinating to me, compelling and irresistible.

Opening Reception: Saturday, February 11th, 6-9pm

New Metal work, Furniture and Sculpture by Travis Linde

Travis Linde is an artist of the times, always adapting to the surrounding difficulties and challenges that are presented. There is not one discipline that will confine the avenues that he will explore, from working with metal, paint, machines, or skin [tattoo], or just an interior design that needs an inspirational touch, or recently working with found objects, many from flooded neighborhoods. People seem to relate to the material and identify with the textures that are day to day, yet are reborn into something greater than a moment. After creating piece after piece, the process begins to evolve. Stronger themes that were pronounced in the past still influence the work today. When short on metal,stones and wood are sometimes substituted, always looking for those little objects that scream out in the world, naturally or man made.

Opening Reception: Saturday February 11th, 6-10pm

Gallery Hours: Every 2nd Saturday of the month and any day of the week by appointment. 504-218-5727

Antenna is pleased to present “monu_MENTAL,” a group show proposing imaginative revisions to existing 19th and 20th century New Orleans monuments, with proposals presented by Ron Bechet, Willie Birch, Max Cafard and Stephen Duplantier, Elena Dahl, Siobhan Feehan and Gianina Jimenez Barrantes, John Kleinschmidt and Andy Sternad, Zakcq Lockrem, Gen McKeown, Rajko Radovanovic, Deirdre Sargent, Ann Schwab and Brian McCormick, and Paulina Sierra.

monu_MENTAL seeks to revise and revive one’s experience of local monuments. Many a New Orleans monument has skidded out of sync with contemporary mores, if not out of the local consciousness. Not content with these prominent displays of anachronism, we wonder what these monuments bring to our city today. Can these hunks of bronze be shifted, if only in our imaginations, to bring awareness to contemporary issues? Artists reflect on this in proposal format.

Opening Reception: Saturday, February 11th, 6pm to 9pm

Gallery Hours: February 12 – March 4th, Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 5pm. 

The multi-platinum act White Zombie’s Sean Yseult has resided in New Orleans for the past fifteen years. Originally a photo major at Parsons School of Design NYC, she pays tribute to her love of New Orleans history and it’s darker side through her work. Local landscapes, characters, friends and celebrities paint a picture of a place lost in time with a haunting beauty.

Ms. Yseult is also the author of “I’m In The Band”, a book compiled of her photos and stories from White Zombie's eleven years on the road, released by Soft Skull Press.
