SHAPED
Curated by Jason Franz
One of the primary elements of art and design, shape is all too often relegated to an after thought, a mere coincidence of convenience based on manufacturing systems, the perpendicular efficiency of architecture, or bland habit. It is suitable then that Manifest hosts an exhibit for works that break outside the expected, traditional, monotonous shapes of such systems.
For this exhibit 114 artists submitted 250 works for consideration. Thirteen works by the following 10 artists from 8 states and Alberta Canada were selected by our two-part jury/curatorial process for presentation in the gallery and catalog.
Bobby Campbell (Morehead, Kentucky)
Roxanne Driediger (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)
Kurt Dyrhaug (Beaumont, Texas)
Gregory Euclide (Le Sueur, Minnesota)
David Hickman (Greensborto, North Carolina)
Martha MacLeish (Bloomington, Indiana)
Ian Magargee (Columbus, Ohio)

PAUSE Contemporary Still-Life
Curated by Jason Franz
We live in man-made environments, filled with mundane and precious things. Some of these things we place incredible importance on, making them cultural talismans, and symbols of our identity, accomplishments, or aspirations. Others we take for granted, using, ignoring, discarding on a daily basis. Yet at some level everything shares an equivalence. The still-life genre has documented this object-oriented existence for centuries. But Manifest is curious, how is such work realized today? Therefore, Manifest Gallery is proud to present PAUSE, and exhibit of Contemporary Still-life.
For this exhibit 208 artists submitted 480 works for consideration. Twenty-five works by the following 19 artists from 11 states and Ontario Canada were selected by our two-part jury/curatorial process for presentation in the gallery and catalog.
