Good Citizen Gallery: Friday, 26 March 2010

Good Citizen presents "Fantastic Logic, Speculative Models." This exhibition will bring together the work of Amanda Hughen and Carin Mincemoyer. The work of both artists investigates the natural world in which we live, inventively translating their findings into works of art. Accompanying the exhibition will be a new billboard by Amanda Hughen.

Opening Reception Friday, March 26 6-10pm
March 26 - April 30
Gallery Hours Fri., Sat. Noon-5pm and by appointment

Amanda Hughen combines drawing, painting, and screen-printing onto translucent mylar. Her work references biology, geology, architecture, and astrology and explores similar transformations that occur across seemingly diverse scientific realms. These ambiguous images could be stars colliding, cancer cells metastasizing, plant photosynthesis occurring, or infinite other scientific transformations. None of the images she depicts are in fact rooted in actual events, but rather come from her own amateur fantasies of the scientific world.

Carin Mincemoyer is a sculptor and installation artist who often utilizes such commonplace household items as Styrofoam and plastic packaging. She uses these elements to create miniature landscapes and life size installations. These creations serve to examine the often contradictory needs that we look to the "natural", or non-human, world to fulfill. Her work also serves as an investigation of human desire - examining what people want, how they go about getting it, and the by-products left behind in an industrialized culture.
