Gallery 210: Thursday, 6 September 2012
Exposure 15
Re-Domestic: Gina Alvarez, Heather Corley, and Deb Douglas
August 23-September 29, 2012
The exhibition "Re-domestic" subverts traditional gender roles by employing art-making activities that filter domestic craft and high art through contemporary feminist theories and conceptual art practices. The pieces in the exhibition exploit to greater or lesser degrees the paradoxical experience of attraction and repulsion and reveal the transcendent experience of that can result from repetitive activity. They are all concerned with beauty. The works by Gina Alvarez, Heather Corley and Deb Doublas connect us to a history of skilled production and feeling, touching on the nostalgia of loss or absence, of filling a need for something to which there is no longer a lived connection.
The reception for Exposure 15 will be held September 6 from 5:30 PM through 7:30 PM. The Exposure 15 reception is held in conjunction with the opening of the UMSL Fine Art Faculty Jubilee Exhibition in Gallery B, Michael Gitlin: Dust Studies in Gallery C, and Arny Nadler's outdoor sculpture, "Whelm".
Hours: Tuesday-Saturday: 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM
