main gallery and drawing room BURB An exhibit of work exploring zones of living Curated by Tim Parsley By the end of the twentieth century, suburbia became the place where over half of all Americans live and work. More than just an American phenomena, however, cities around the world have birthed an �outer ring� of domesticity, interconnected by nodes of consumer options and web-like traffic systems. This formational landscape of backyard BBQs, super-size shopping boxes, mini-vans, and cul-de-sacs is the terrain upon which many artists work today (while others respond from an urban distance). Through various contemporary visual art forms, artists are creating work that documents, explores, celebrates and criticizes these particular zones of living. For this exhibit 147 artists submitted 360 works for consideration. Twenty-one works by the following 15 artists from 11 states and Hong Kong were selected by our two-part jury/curatorial process for presentation in the gallery and catalog. Meg Aubrey (Alpharetta, Georgia) Piotr Chizinski (Falls Village, Connecticut) Andrew Dickson (Long Beach, California) Kevin Haas (Pullman, Washington) Andrew Harrison (Hightstown, New Jersey) Barry Jacques (Hong Kong) (with David Smith) Charles Kanwischer (Waterville, Ohio) David Linneweh (Shorewood, Illinois) Craig Lloyd (Cincinnati, Ohio) Ron Longsdorf (Wilmington, Delaware) Stefan Petranek (Rochester, New York) Ross Racine (New York, New York) Travis Shaffer (Nicholasville, Kentucky) Nathan Sullivan (Columbia, Missouri) Art Werger (Athens, Ohio) parallel space Stephen Cartwright Topographies Since 1999 Stephen Cartwright has recorded his exact latitude, longitude and elevation every hour of every day. Cartwright uses digital and traditional fabrication techniques to translate his collected data into his sculptural projects. Since the inception of the Latitude and Longitude recording project Stephen Cartwright has completed several grand bicycle journeys through North America, Europe and Asia, totaling more than 20,000 miles. Prolonged observation of his location has led Cartwright to his recent work investigating the use and alteration of the landscape. |
