Mythography An Exploration of Narrative (Main Gallery) Curated by Tim Parsley Whether gathered around a campfire telling ghost stories, buried into an epic novel, or following the latest adventures of Spider-man, we are fascinated with stories, legends, myths and fables. Stories help locate us, form our personal identities and often operate as larger metaphors for reality. Throughout history, from the stately historic paintings of Jacques-Louis David to the provocative films of Matthew Barney, visual artists have offered a unique contribution to the telling of tales. Manifest Creative Research Gallery enthusiastically invited national and international artists, working in any visual creative medium, to come tell a story. For this exhibition, a broad definition of narrative art was considered, including (but not limited to) comic art, sequential art, documentary, animation, video/film, illustration, performance, painting, sculpture, photography, and drawing. Nearly 300 artists from 41 states and 14 countries submitted nearly 700 works for consideration to Mythography. An eight-person jury and curatorial process resulted in 16 works by 13 artists being selected for inclusion in the exhibit. The exhibit includes works of painting, drawing, video, sculpture, and photography by: Jessica Grace Bechtel (Cincinnati, Ohio) Charles Caldemeyer (Mansfield, Ohio) Bill Domonkos (Oakland, California) Laura Fisher (Cincinnati, Ohio) David Hannon (Muncie, Indiana) Amanda Jaffe (Las Cruces, New Mexico) Hugh Jones (Arlington, Virginia) Noriko Kuresumi (Astoria, New York) Robert McCann (East Lansing, Michigan) Joseph Miller (Buffalo, New York) Greg Sand (Clarksville, Tennessee) Christopher Troutman (Richmond, Kentucky) Chris White (Bellevue, Washington) and SELECTIONS from the 4th International Drawing Annual exhibit-in-print (Drawing Room Gallery) Curated by Jason Franz Selections from the International Drawing Annual is the fourth annual presentation of this exhibit, featuring a sampling of artworks to be included in the forthcoming 2008 International Drawing Annual exhibit-in-print. The International Drawing Annual publication was conceived 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. Fast becomng one of the preeminent international publications focusing on drawing from year to year, the Annual stakes ground on behalf of those working in drawing (of all types), and for Cincinnati as a center of important dialogue about the creative practice. [to learn more about the INDA, past artists included, or to purchase copies, visit http://www.manifestgallery.org/nda]. Over 410 artists from around the world submitted 1100 works for consideration to the 2008 INDA. A ten-person jury and curatorial process selected 100 works by 59 finalists for the forthcoming publication. Selections from the 4th International Drawing Annual serves as a preview sampling prior to the formal release of the publication. The eight works presented here will be among those included in the exhibit-in-print. The exhibit includes works by: Susan D'Amato (Syracuse, New York) Christina Empedocles (San Francisco, California) Gregory Euclide (Minneapolis, Minnesota) Jason John (Sidman, Pennsylvania) Charles Kanwischer (Waterville, Ohio) Paul Loehle (Cincinnati, Ohio) Douglas Miller (Louisville, Kentucky) Ross Racine (New York, New York) |
