Natalia Arias, "Modern Venus," 2005 c-print
30 1/8" x 24"
Atrium Gallery proudly presents an exhibition featuring work from a selection
of its women artists, Natalia
Arias, Lore Bert, Leila Daw, Claudia DeMonte, Julia Fernandez-Pol, Karen
Kunc, Annette Morriss, Katy Stone, and Mary Joan Waid.
For nearly thirty years Atrium has shown and represented a strong
group of female artists. Selected for their commendable and
interesting work, not gender, these have become a very exciting and
formidable influence on the character and success of the gallery.
Spanning a wide range of age from 30 to almost 80, this selection
of nine is less than half the number women associated with Atrium, but
represents the group with an exceptional exhibition comprised of a wide
variety of media – photography, sculptural works of handmade paper,
sculpture, fiber works, paintings, artist books, pastels, and a wall
painting. It is a deep and rich presentation with various themes,
some relating to women's issues and others concerned with additional
formal and informal subjects. The featured artists all have
national and international reputations, with work in numerous major
museums. A third of the group have foreign backgrounds, Arias
(Colombia), Bert (Germany), and Fernandez-Pol (Argentina) reflecting the
long standing international composition of the gallery stable.
Shown together, this group makes a dynamic statement about Atrium's
commitment to developing interest in work by exceptional women artists.
Please join us for an Opening
Reception Friday, May 8th from 6 — 8 p.m. Parking
will be available at the Pierce Arrow Building East Lot.
The show will run through July 3rd.
