FALL SOLOS 2008
October 7 – November 29
Katie Creyts makes fantastic narrative-driven sculptures using glass and found objects. Her pieces are darkly humorous evocations of fairy tales—typically commenting on the infinite disproportion between those stories and actual lived experience.
(Reading, PA)
Lily Cox-Richard explores the intersection of pop-culture, pseudo-science, and biology with an installation employing images of Elvis Presley, Nikola Tesla, and lightning bolts (show description tentative). (Richmond, VA )
Ben Pranger is fascinated with codes, randomized operations, and blindness. His installation this Fall will include an ambitious, room-filling, floor-to-ceiling sculpture—a cloud of interlocking words all taken from the Book of Revelations and inscribed on separate pieces of wood in braille. (Roanoke, VA)
Andrea Chung makes representational paintings, large-scale sculptures, and site-specific installations evoking human geography—specifically, her family’s connections to Africa, China, and India via Caribbean trade in sugar, cocoa, and rum. (Baltimore, MD)
Morgan Craig makes large oil paintings of inaccessible architectural ruins—dilapidated, abandoned urban spaces. The paintings are reconstructed from photographs and memories generated while trespassing in condemned, structurally unsound buildings. (Philadelphia, PA)
Robin Dana shoots and prints breathtaking large-scale color photographs of destroyed rural landscapes—razed by the mining industry. (Alexandria, VA)
PERFORMANCE ART SERIES Every two weeks during this exhibition, one of the experimental galleries downstairs will host a new performance and its attending documentation. Featuring Virginia Warwick (Baltimore, MD), Judy Stone (Riverside Park, MD), and two other artists TBA.
