Jennifer Levonian at 601 Art Space
Jennifer Levonian's Holy Donuts!,2008 will be screened as part of Plastic Summer, curated by Stamatina Gregory and Erin Sickler.
"In the annual abdication of work, school, life, and ethics (at least for some), beaches and boats, summer houses and amusement parks become the projection for a fantasy of escape and absence of responsibility. As constructed as a screensaver, as ubiquitous as a discounted package holiday, this idea of summer can seem infinitely plastic and artificial. With a nod to playfulness and a wink at the surreal, the nine videos in Plastic Summer both embrace and interrogate the visual language of summer."
Works by Elia Alba, Kim Collmer, Eteam, Jillian McDonald, Tea Makipaa, Tom Pnini, Jaye Rhee, and Carrie Schneider will also be on view.

Cellar Door, curated by Marie Heilich, opens July 14 in the Front Room at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. The exhibition, which includes work by Alex Da Corte, Trevor Reese, and Justin Visnesky, focuses on "the landscape of a production and consumption based society" where "artists have taken on the role of editor rather than creator...[t]hrough selecting, documenting and ultimately placing objects in an art context." Cellar Door runs through August 1.
