\u201cthis is a nervous little decade we\u2019re playing with\u201d<\/p>\n
-Richard Fari\u00f1a, Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me<\/a><\/p>\n This quote was meant to describe the 1960s, the decade in Richard Fari\u00f1a\u2019s beloved classic. And yet, each age, each time has its own feeling. What might we say of the current moment? Is this a nervous little time? A large and in charge kind of moment? What is the shape of things, where will this decade lead us to \u2013 individually, communally, globally? It is an interesting pursuit to consider the time in which we live as a moment in history, to think what future generations may say when they look back.<\/p>\n Adam Erlbaum<\/a> joined us to talk about his show,\u00a0Flag Building<\/em><\/a>, running until March 16 at Amos Eno Gallery. Erlbaum intentionally chose the title to keep the audience wondering, saying that while on the face of it a flag is flimsy nylon, when we think of building materials we think of brick and mortar and the like. For this show, he wanted to convey the idea of a step upon step journey, much like the slow start of his painting practice 12 years ago.

The duality in the title and the work in the show, Marks says, come from being older \u2013 the artist is in his 70s now. There is a good measure of joyful improvisation in the work, but Marks admits that sometimes the images of his life that arise shock him. Memories that are steeped in both joy but also grief for the many he has lost along the way.
