June 17 – June 29, 2011

Opening Reception & Performance: Friday, June 17th  6 - 8pm

These artists address a diverse range of issues and ideologies through a variety of materials and presentation strategies.  Issues surrounding public space, urban development and decay, repurposing materials, and life and death are explored in surprising ways.  Additionally, artists push the boundaries of artistic tradition through unusual and unexpected approaches to traditional genres such as still-life and portraiture.  For example, Lewis Colburn will be seated atop a 15 foot wooden tower where he will be typing War and Peace by Tolstoy during a performance at the opening reception.  Tim Portlock will exhibit large scale prints of decaying urban cityscapes created using 3D gaming software.  Alison Stigora will exhibit a looming sculpture made from burnt wood swirling 13 feet into the air.  And, Kimberly Witham will show photographs of still life’s she has created with dead creatures and décor.
