Main Gallery: Something Happened
The Luminary Center for the Arts is pleased to announce our first Resident Artist retrospective exhibition,Something Happened. Something Happened will feature work created by the artists in our artists-in-residence program throughout 2010. The show was formed as a way to create a dialogue between our studio and exhibition programs and further the engagement of the public in the process. Something Happened captures the explorations and experimentations that took place throughout the year, resulting in new work from each of the artists. The artists in the program represent some of the most exciting emerging artists in the region, including Brian Depauli, Meredith Foster, Stephen Hoskins, Sarrita Hunn, Amanda Pfister, Amy Reidel and Carlie Trosclair.
Join us at 6pm on Friday, February 4th for an artist talk by Sarrita Hunn and Friday, March 11th for a closing reception and artist talk with Brian Depauli and Lauren Frances Adams.
Installation Space: Lauren Adams, The Nymph’s Reply
On Friday, February 4th from 6-9pm, Lauren Frances Adams will open The Nymph’s Reply, a painting-based installation that combines Elizabethan decorative tropes and John White’s watercolors of native Algonquin Indians as a vehicle for exploring American post-colonialism. Finding inspiration in Sir Walter Raleigh’s pastoral poem of the same title, the installation is simultaneously visually seductive and chaotic, its aesthetic approachability belying the pedantic critique embedded within the wall paintings. The appropriated references are rendered by hand in the large-scale paintings, creating a surreal juxtaposition of previously disparate elements united by the artist’s process. The result is a barrage of collaged forms confronting the viewer with a dense symbolic field of multiple historical timelines and references, in an attempt to make sense of conflicting colonial narratives.
