EXHIBITIONS: Main Gallery: ARRAN ROSS, UNKNOWN WARRIORS This exhibition features a major body of work of both painting and sculpture by Ross, a recipient of the Pollock Krasner Award 2000, and the JD Fergusson Award 1997. Ross currently lives and works in Scotland and lectures at the Edinburgh College of Art. For more information: contact arranross@hotmail.com. Gallery A: NEIL GRIEG "The visual power of the sea has a spiritual impact for him and it is the contrast between sea and land, shifting light and texture that dominate his work. Greig's forceful work is less about unity in nature than the order of natural divisions, infused with a potent energy." Fred Johnson, Sunday Times Grieg is a native of Belfast, Northern Ireland. He graduated from Edinburgh Art College in 1988, and was awarded an Andrew Grant Scholarship for Post-Graduate Study. To date he has had numerous solo exhibitions of his paintings and participated in various group shows throughout Ireland and Europe. Gallery B: MARLENE ALT, BIRD/BUILDING/BODY The work in this exhibition consists of hybrid wood constructions that merge nature, architecture, and the body into both a physical and psychological landscape. These constructions attempt to explore the gap between nature and culture and our nostalgia for an idealized American past and the universal ache accompanying the reality of its existence. Gallery C: MARILYNN MURPHY, A CATALOG OF WINDS Murphy's paintings of unusual situations create the appearance of narrative similar to a film still. Her realistic works of characters involved in improbable situations explore various manifestations of power. She has researched this work at the National Severe Storms Laboratory, the photographic archives of the Western History Collection at the University of Oklahoma, and in Australia and New Zealand. Gallery D: MEE KYUNG SHIM, IDENTITY/IDEALITY Kyung's recent figurative paintings form a 'swimming' series that turn an everyday recreational activity into a metaphor for cultural acclimation. As a Korean native studying art in America, Shim sees the challenge of balancing her Korean and American cultures to be similar to the weightlessness felt underwater. *Gallery web site address http://www.artemisia.org For additional information and press packets, call the gallery at (312) 226-7323 _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
