Howard Schwartzberg presents an untitled installation comprised of excerpts from separate but linked series of works. Central to this installation are two sculptural paintings which literally turn painting inside out to expose its constructs.

These works appear as burlap sacks filled with paint. Their polished saturated surfaces contrast with the bulging burlap, which acts as a repository for memory and personal histories while alluding to the historical baggage of painting.

These filled containers are simultaneously cynical and nostalgic. As with all of Schwartzberg's work, they speak of decay and the potential for growth. Drawings from the Product series and the Patient series utilize Miracle Gro fertilizer, plastic bags and seeds. These works use word play and metaphor to speak of both a historical critique and a personal narrative.

Howard Schwartzberg attended Pratt Institute and Hunter College in New York. His work has been exhibited at Stux Gallery, NYC. Following his exhibition at Momenta he exhibited with Linda Kirkland Gallery, NYC, and Socrates Sculpture Park, Long Island City, NY. He also had a solo exhibition at the Silverstein Gallery, NYC.
