Blade Study presents Andrew Woolbright’s Baldanders. This is the second in an ongoing series of performances in which the artist, educator, and writer considers the format of interview as a form of sculpture. The exhibitions’ title references a German mythical figure, Baldanders, who changes its physical form the longer a conversation continues. Woolbright’s multimedia performance involves prosthetics, video, and sculpture that shifts the conversants into new forms over the course of their conversations.

Blade Study presents “All Creatures Great and Small” by Sam Cockrell (b. 1989, VA), the artist’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. For the past eleven years, Cockrell has been recording a daily encounter with a mammal, bug, or bird, often seen in his neighborhood of Ridgewood, Queens. He then returns to his studio and transforms the digital image into an airbrushed painting, usually on 8 by 10 inch canvases. The small works are titled by the date of capture, though some include mention of a notable occasion.

Sam Cockrell (b. 1989, Colonial Williamsburg) received his BFA from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and his MFA from Columbia University in New York. His work was the subject of a solo exhibition at International Waters, New York, in 2023. Group exhibitions in New York include Mery Gates, Mrs. Gallery, Subtitled, International Objects, Below Grand, and Unclebrother, among others, as well as at Fjord, Philadelphia, PA, and Foyer-LA in Los Angeles, CA. His work has been written about in Two Coats of Paint, White Hot Magazine, Artnet News, and Hyperallergic. Residencies include Carrizozo AIR, Carrizozo, New Mexico, and Catwalk Institute in Catskill, NY. Cockrell was nominated for the Rema Hort Mann Emerging Artist Grant in 2022. He currently lives and works in Queens, NY.
