[Nettime-bold] Artemisia Gallery April Exhibition


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: APRIL EXHIBITION
Show Dates: April 5th to April 28 th
Opening Reception: April 6th, 5-8PM


EXHIBITIONS:
Main Gallery: SONYA BAYSINGER, MOIST
Sonya Baysinger's sculptural work is created in distinct cathartic
episodes.  The key to the formal and psychological dynamics embodied in
her work lies in the specific choices of materials and the way she
chooses to address the materials.  Her organic structures represent the
interdependence of all that is living and embody characteristics both
anthropomorphic and zoomorphic.   This exhibition presents Baysinger's
new work and her first solo exhibition as a member of Artemisia gallery.



Gallery A: MARY TOBIN, PHYSICALITY
Mary Tobin's photography exhibition, "Physicality" presents color mural
prints. The abstract and figurative imagery includes the physical
movements of Eastern and Western figures with calligraphic obstacles.
Through a series of layered images, she formally investigates the
political, cultural, societal, and familial noises that interfere with
our perceptions of the world.  Frames fragment and dissemble, as
original meanings become untethered from their moorings.


Gallery B: VERA SCEKIC
"These are elegant drawings, finely rendered yet without the grandiosity
that sometimes accompanies virtuosity.  They seem to refer to galaxies
and at the same time to microscopic views of life forms and are
presented with the cool impartiality of medical illustration."  Excerpt
of a review by Margaret Hawkins, The Chicago Sun Times, July 24, 1998.

Scekic presents new work on paper using graphite and acrylic,
constructing a visually poetic syntax that offers an elegant means for
understanding ourselves and our surroundings.


Gallery C: LEAH PETERSON, THE SUBURBAN CONDITION
Leah Peterson was born and raised in a suburban town in Long Island,
NY.  Her recent photographic investigation, "The Suburban Condition"
speaks to both the condition of the land and to the mental and emotional
condition of those living in it.  Her moving photographs speak to the
urbanization of the suburban landscape, once a refuge from the city.

Gallery D: JEFFERY S. BIRD, THE LANDSCAPES OF THE LOST KINGS
Artist Jeffery Bird's large scale mixed media paintings reveal complex,
layered imagery and a varierty of painted surfaces.  They have a strong
physical presence conveyed by the powerful imagery, but also contain
subtle areas, text, and delicate passages.  The content incorporates the
environment, animals, mythology, male identity, and a juxtaposition of
Western and non-Western culture and cosmology.   Bird is an Assistant
Professor of Drawing and Painting at the State University of New York
College at Brockport.  For more information, email
