Urbis Artium is pleased to present "Caesurae," a group exhibition
featuring works in various media by New York and Bay Area artists.
The show seeks to explore and illuminate a newly emerging, post-post-
modern iconography of human corporeality.

New York-based Jordan Eagles combines blood, acrylics, resin,
metallic powders, and cheesecloth into strikingly beautiful forms,
hues and textures that Eagles believes reveal the unitary nature of
the body-sprit connection. His work has been described as "luminous
and magnifying" (New York Times), and "brilliant, light-refracting
art" (Philadelphia Weekly). He has exhibited most recently at BLK/
MRKT Gallery in Los Angeles and at SCOPE-New York. Somewhat notorious
for his use of blood, his work was banned from New Jersey's annual
"Art at Overlook" exhibition in 2003. This is his first Bay Area show.

Clint Imboden is an East Bay photographer and installation artist
whose work explores questions of psychological pain via found images,
written materials, and other objects representing or evoking the
body. For this show, Imboden will install a large-scale, three-
dimensional piece incorporating found x-rays and other images. His
work appears in the collections of the Center for Photography at
Woodstock, NY, the di Rosa Preserve, the Milwaukee Museum of Art, and
the San Antonio Museum of art.

Ex-San Franciscans (now Brooklynites) Craig LaRotonda and Kim Maria
collaborate to produce evocative hand-sculpted and found-object
assemblages that address themes of death, decay, rebirth, and the
weight of personal history. Their work, individually and/or in
collaboration, has appeared in Time, the Washington Post, and the New
York Times, among other publications, and was featured in the 2002
feature film Traffic. Shown most recently at La Luz de Jesus gallery
in Los Angeles, LaRotonda's work has been acquired by actors Johnny
Depp and Kirsten Dunst.

San Francisco's David Zuttermeister crafts found-object installations
and sculptures that seem to generate a new symbolism of the body
that, while utterly new, somehow feels ancient and familiar, touching
a deep chord within the viewer. He recently exhibited at the Bemis
Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha, Nebraska.
