Manifest Opens Two New Exhibits FRIDAY, 6-9p.m. Thirty-eight works by 29 artists from across the U.S. and Canada main gallery 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) Laurel Nathanson (Oakland, California) William Potter (Indianapolis, Indiana) Crystal Wagner (Montgomery, Alabama) drawing room and parallel space 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. Brett Eberhardt (Macomb, Illinois) Hall Groat II (Endwell, New York) Pat Hobaugh (Lake Mills, Wisconsin) Spring Hofeldt (Brooklyn, New York) Pamela Johnson (Chicago, Illinois) Catherine Kehoe (Roslindale, Massachusetts) Richard Luschek (Cincinnati, Ohio) Michael May (Oxford, Ohio) Nancy McCarthy (Roslindale, Massachusetts) Katherine McNenly (Almonte, Ontario, Canada) Joseph Morzuch (Hewitt, Texas) Patrick Moser (St. Augustine, Florida) Brent Payne (Oxford, Ohio) Elena Peteva (Macomb, Illinois) Shelby Shadwell (Laramie, Wyoming) Benjamin Shamback (Mobile, Alabama) Gabriella Soraci (Eugene, Oregon) Sheldon Tapley (Danville, Kentucky) Patrice Wolf (Athens, Ohio) |
