GuideBook Works of Contemporary Collage and Assemblage Main Gallery Opening Friday, May 28, 6-9p.m. Exhibit run: May 28 - June 25, 2010 Curated by Jason Franz Creativity and cultural expression find sources of inspiration in surprising places, and within unexpected materials. One might say that the truly creative life is one lived in such a way that ordinary things, or those not commonly considered �artful� are suddenly seen as being sublime. Certainly many types of art can provide a glimpse into this creative way. But works of collage and assemblage might do it best. So, with GUIDEBOOK Manifest set out to assemble an exhibit which explores such work - an exhibit that may in fact serve as a guidebook to a creative, enlightened way of seeing and being in the world. For this exhibit 207 artists submitted 470 works for consideration. Eighteen works by the following 13 artists were selected for presentation in the gallery and catalog. Mary Snyder Behrens (Dysart, Iowa) Terrence Campagna (Minneapolis, Minnesota) Brian Christensen (Springville, Utah) Jonas Criscoe (Spartanburg, South Carolina) Alisa Henriquez (East Lansing, Michigan) Janalyn Hubbell (Chicago, Illinois) M.A. Papanek-Miller (Chicago, Illinois) Francesca Pastine (San Francisco, California) Billy Renkl (Clarksville, Tennessee) Margaret Suchland (Oro Valley, Arizona) Cheryl Wassenaar (St. Louis, Missouri) Margaret Whiting (Waterloo, Iowa) Michelle Word (Lansing, Michigan) Magnitude 7 6th Annual Exhibit of Small Works Drawing Room and Parallel Space Galleries Opening Friday, May 28, 6-9p.m. Exhibit run: May 28 - June 25, 2010 Curated by Jason Franz Small works are portable and fit well into many spaces. They also evoke in the viewer a sense of one's own physicality, in a completely different way than average or large sized works. Small works are intimate; inviting approach and inspection. Like short poetry, they are a challenge to craft with the same presence of their larger counterparts. One might consider them them the haiku of visual art. Every year Manifest calls for little works of art from around the world. Each exhibit brings in hundreds of powerful yet diminutive masterpieces for our jury to mull over. Inevitably we end up with a gallery full of diverse, compelling, and exquisite little gems. Manifest�s patrons eagerly await the Magnitude 7 event each year, anticipating the opportunity to partake in what has become a collector's seasonal feast. For this exhibit the gallery offered its sixth annual call to artists to submit works no larger than seven inches in any dimension, and 169 artists submitted 350 works for consideration. Thirty-eight works by the following 24 artists were selected for presentation in the gallery and catalog. Doug Anderson (Geneseo, New York) Matthew Ballou (Columbia, Missouri) Amy Jo Brown (East Lansing, Michigan) Todd Burroughs (Berkley, Michigan) David Detrich (Walhalla, South Carolina) Richard Elaver (Fort Wayne, Indiana) Christian Faur (Granville, Ohio) Matt Ferranto (New York, New York) Kenneth Hall (Cedar Falls, Iowa) Paul Hazelton (Margate, United Kingdom) Asuka Hishiki (Briarwood, New York) Andrew Kuebeck (Bloomington, Indiana) Carole P.
