Andrea Geyer, Tim Maul, Clara Williams curated by tim maul     photo: john berens   The work of Andrea Geyer, Tim Maul, and Clara Williams is all multi leveled and complex. This show, diverse as it appears, is essentially about picture making or creating new tableau ideas. At a time in history when cameras go everywhere and photoraph everything, Andrea Geyer's color images of normally inaccessible corporate board rooms take us places few men (and even fewer women) have ever been. Not simply a familiar critique of big business, Beyer documents these environments with a respect and awe usually reserved for the great outdoors. The absence of people in thease "real world" places of power only deepens their chilly transcendence and windens the distance bwteen the public and the private. The computer, wiht its endlessly scrutinized screen and meandering logic, is the natural host for Tim Maul's CD-ROM project Falling in Love with Heavy Things. Produced during residencies at Lightworks in Syracuse, NY, the piece uses Antonioni's 1966 film Blow-Up to re-examine themes of alienation, urban paranoia, and artworld career angst. Rather then a retelling or deconstruction of an acknowledged masterpiece, Maul likens the interactive work to a "dream" of Blow-Up. Sculpture's performative side is central to Clara Williams. In answering the what-where-why demands of gallery art, Williams employs the Eugene Ionesco play, Man with the Luggage, as the subject of a complex body of work that hovers between description and imagination. In meticulously rendered drawings and objects, Willimas interprets Ionesco, and in the process of translation provides us not with props and sets, but with a shifting "cast" of places and things that appear to be awaiting our participation.
