| Nothing in Stone, Rebekah Templeton Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, PA November 13 - December 20 |
||
 |
“Nothing in Stone is an exhibition examining the pliability of language and its affect on perception. Campbell’s precise pairings of objects with text stimulates the work to strive towards poetic heights. These seemingly benign phrases when associated with his deftly crafted objects, place the viewer into a state of questioning. Part diary excerpts, part socio-political yearnings, Campbell’s phrases point towards hazy narratives and idioms, which directly engage the viewer with his objects. Following the lineage of Ed Ruscha and Bruce Nauman, Campbell’s work further marks the continued use of language as a means within contemporary art practice." | |
| Starting with Goo, Rebekah Templeton Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, PA Jan 10 - Feb 23 |
||
 |
"Starting with Goo examines the thinly veiled violence that is pervasive in contemporary society. Bubbling, boiling and near the point of attack, the works in this exhibition thrust the viewer into a primal world; where we are tethered to a historical umbilical chord connected with the primordial goo of our past. The drawings, collages, sculpture and digital animation in this exhibition extol a feeling of general destabilization and social fracturization in regards to the contemporary experience." Bruce Campbell, Jakie Hoving, Adam Neuman, Brian Zegeer |

| Some Sort of Uncertainty, Axiom Gallery + Art Interactive, Boston, MA January 11 - Feb 17 Curated by Adriana Rios |
||
 |
Adriana Rios, the curator of Some Sort of Uncertainty, in which I showed the work A Warm Breath (for Mark Lapore), put together a new version of the show with many of the same artists. The original show's concept was that upon entering the gallery it would seem empty. Version two, shown at Axiom, continues that idea but now the work has to be interactive! Lina Maria Giraldo, Elias Heim, The Institute for Very Small Things, Brian Knep, Nathalie Miebach, Liz Nofziger, Michael Sheridan, and Douglas Weathersby I showed the work Pause. |

| The 1950 Ford Show, Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton Canada September 22, 2007 - January 6, 2008 Guest Curated by Anthony Easton |
||
 |
"Edmonton artist and curator Anthony Easton takes American Pop-Conceptualist, Ed Ruscha at his word. Ruscha's 1977 drawing: WILL 100 ARTISTS DRAW A 1950 FORD FROM MEMORY plants the seed that Easton cultivates by actually soliciting 100 artists to concretize Ruscha's Conceptual fantasy.
The results range from café sketches through pop commix renditions to highly crafted illustrations. The ensemble makes for a delightful installation, reasserting the primacy of mark-making and reconsiders the Conceptualist implulses in contemporary art." |
