Hunt Gallery at Webster University to Present Jillian Conrad: On Tenterhooks
Opening Reception Friday, Sept. 16, 2011

Webster University's Hunt Gallery is pleased to present Jillian Conrad: On Tenterhooks as its inaugural exhibition for the 2011-2012 season with an opening reception on September 16, 2011 from 6­8 at 8342 Big Bend Blvd. The exhibition will remain on view until October 14. On Tenterhooks will be Conrad's first exhibiting in St. Louis and will feature new, site-specific work made this past summer while in residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito, California.

Known for infusing raw, utilitarian materials with aesthetic integrity, Conrad negotiates the distinctions between two-dimensional images and the three-dimensional world. This new body of work will explore perimeters of an absent object while suggesting the centrality and wholeness of an object present.

The exhibition is guest curated by Marie Heilich. Hours: Tuesday – Saturday 10am – 5pm or by appointment
