EXCAVATIONS
A Curatorial Opportunity Program exhibition curated by Adrienne Jacobson
Featuring: Shannon Rankin, August Ventimiglia, Ken Landauer, Laura Evans, Jill Slosburg-Ackerman, and Candice Ivy
This exhibitions investigates the relationship between artwork, geology, landscape and time. The six featured artists engage in excavation either formally, by removing layers of material, or metaphorically, through a process of uncovering memories and hidden histories. Informed by twentieth-century land art and altered objects, these artists skillfully cut, rip, dig, scrape, peel, rebuild and relocate to give their materials new meaning. The exhibition includes thirty-four diverse works, ranging from drawings and altered books to maps and furniture.
A CERAMIC SPECTRUM
Curated by Garth Johnson
Featuring: Lauren Mabry, Peter Pincus, and Michael Fujita
This exhibition examines three emerging ceramic artists who represent a promiscuous approach the medium of clay. Michael Fujita, Lauren Mabry and Peter Pincus, blur the boundaries of painting, sculpture and ceramics. They share a love of surface, and perhaps even a tendency toward a similar color palette, but their approaches are radically different. These three artists examplify the multivalent tendencies of the emerging generation, and have been brought together to create a unique harmony within the New Art Center’s Holzwasser Gallery.
