MONOCHROME An International Competitive Exhibit Curated by Tim Parsley Sometimes you can say more by saying less. Many artists find that the intentional reduction of visual information actually increases a work of art�s impact. One such reduction is the use of color, creating engaging art through the use of a single hue. Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center is proud to announce the start of its 6th season with the exhibit Monochrome. For this exhibit 250 artists submitted 540 works for consideration. Thirteen works by the following 10 artists from nine states and two countries were selected by our two-part jury/curatorial process for presentation in the gallery and catalog. Stefan Annerel (Antwerp, Belgium) Corey Baker (Medina, Ohio) Jill Downen (St. Louis, Missouri) Jessica Houston (New York, New York) David Isenhour (New Smyrna Beach, Florida) Robert Lansden (New Orleans, Louisiana) Willard Lustenader (New Haven, Connecticut) Robert Schefman (West Bloomfield, Michigan) Sang-Mi Yoo (Lubbock, Texas) John Zurier (Berkeley, California) drawing room (IN)ANIMATE Paintings by Kirstine Reiner As part of the launch of its sixth season Manifest is delighted to present a solo exhibit of eight paintings by Danish born San Francisco artist Kirstine Reiner. Selected from among dozens of exhibit proposals considered for the 2009/2010 exhibit season, Reiner's paintings provide an exquisite and important glimpse into serious contemporary realism. The collection of works brings 'old-world' craftsmanship and nuanced aesthetics unabashedly into the present day. (in)animate serves as an intimate tour de force exhibit of painted realism, but it goes far beyond being a display of technical virtuosity. Each work, each object depicted, has a poetry as meticulously crafted as any formal or technical part employed in the process. Kirstine Reiner was born in 1966 in Odense, Denmark. She received her BA degree in Illustration & Design at Kunsthaandvaerkerskolen, Kolding, Denmark in 1989. Her works have been exhibited in museums and galleries internationally from California to New York City, including Washington D.C., Denmark, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Two of her drawings were featured in the most recently published International Drawing Annual 2007 produced by Manifest. One painting was also included in Manifest's first annual NUDE exhibit. Reiner lives and works in San Francisco, California and teaches painting and drawing privately.

Selected from among dozens of exhibit proposals considered for the 2009/2010 exhibit season, Hoelscher's photographs are a perfect first show for the new gallery space at Manifest. Interior reveals the artist's fascination with the inevitable remolding of the purpose and meaning of architecture, just as Manifest itself has assumed and refined old spaces in the Victoria building where today so much art from across the world is presented to the Cincinnati public. Interior offers a formal, playful series of subtle amalgamations - images of vaguely familiar yet intriguing environments telling a story and inviting us in. Andrea Hoelscher was born in 1968 in Marshalltown, Iowa. She received her BFA degree in photography and drawing from the University of Northern Iowa in 1992. In 1994 she completed an MFA degree from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. Her solo exhibitions have included locations such as the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art, Roanoke College in Virginia, E3 Gallery in New York City, Bromfield Gallery in Boston, UC Berkeley in San Francisco, and Artemisia Gallery in Chicago. She has exhibited internationally, in solo exhibits at the Free University in Berlin, and at the International Artists Center in Poznan, Poland. Hoelscher has been the recipient of several awards including a 2007 grant from the Indiana Arts Commission, a 2003 grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and a 1996 Fellowship for the Visual Arts from the New England Foundation for the Arts. From 1997 to 1998 she was supported by a Fulbright Grant for a project in Berlin, Germany. Since 1995 Hoelscher has been engaged in teaching photography, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Currently she teaches at the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville.
