Main Gallery and Drawing Room ARCH. Exploring Made Space Opening Friday, March 4, 6-9p.m. Exhibit continues: March 5 - April 1, 2011 ARCH. invited artists, architects, designers, and others to submit works that in some way explore the concept of spaces altered by, or created by people. As a component of our reality, space is taken for granted. And our specie's existence seems inevitably driven by our individual and collective impulse to alter this elemental fabric of the universe. For better or worse humanity's instinctual nest building has shaped our world. ARCH. assembles a diverse array of works for an exhibit that is unified in its consideration of the concept of made space, but intriguing due to the surprising ways in which artists address the subject, and for what is revealed about how humans alter and address space as a medium of life. For this exhibit 142 artists submitted 337 works for consideration. Twenty-four works by the following 20 artists from Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Canada, and Spain were selected for presentation in the gallery and catalog. Works to be exhibited include abstract 'spatial' paintings, video/animation, sculptures evoking the notion of (but not necessarily serving as) architectural models, collages, drawings, paintings, and works of photography.

The International Drawing Annual publication project was launched in 2005 as an extension of Manifest's Drawing Center mission to promote, feature, and explore drawing as a rich and culturally significant art form. The goal of the International Drawing Annual is to support the recognition, documentation, and publication of excellent, current, and relevant works of drawing from around the world. More info. about this ongoing project can be found online at www.manifestgallery.org/inda. All works included in each annual are made within three years leading up to its publication. Soft and hardcover versions of the INDA 6 book will be available by early 2012 (the INDA 5 books were just released in January). Previous volumes remain available at such places as Joseph-Beth Booksellers, The Cincinnati Art Museum bookstore, the TAFT Museum bookstore, Suder's, The Weston Gallery, Amazon.com, and of course at Manifest Gallery and the Manifest website. The books serve as a valuable reflection on the diversity and vitality of drawing active in the world. They are used by artists, collectors, other galleries, fans of art, students, and even teachers in the classroom for reference about drawing, and to connect to the practice of drawing through a very open and considerate survey of the art form. For the INDA 6 an eleven person jury reviewed 1307 entries by 490 artists from around the world. Nine of these works, by the following nine artists are presented at Manifest as a sampling of this very exciting and important ongoing project. (A list of all the artists included in the INDA 6 publication will be available after March 1st here: http://www.manifestgallery.org/nda/inda6.) Approximately 115 works will be included in the final published project. Works submitted to the INDA project are not required to be available for this exhibit, therefore those selected for exhibition are determined partially by virtue of their availability, as well as their suitability for exhibition in an intimate presentation limited by one gallery at Manifest, as well as their ability to reflect, as much as possible, the diversity of the pool of works chosen for the publication. Works on exhibit by: Kristina Estell (Duluth, Minnesota) Melanie Lowrance (Prairie Village, Kansas) Alexis Manheim (Moss Beach, California) Lance Moon (Newaygo, Michigan) Leslie Nichols (Bowling Green, Kentucky) Roberto Osti (Bloomfield, New Jersey) Jennifer Purdum (Cincinnati, Ohio) Shelby Shadwell (Laramie, Wyoming) Jennifer Ustick (Grand Haven, Michigan) |
