For Every Negative There Is A Positive: a national juried exhibition
Opening Reception, Awards Presentation, and Juror Discussion, Friday, August 3, 5-8pm
Curated by Tom Huck.
In addition to the national exhibition, the STLAG welcomes three solo exhibitions, Ken Konchel, Shelby Fleming, and Kelsie Ward.
For Every Negative There Is A Positive explores positive and negative space through artistic, emotional, and social forms of expression. For every negative there is a positive, for every action, there is a reaction, and for every balance, there is a counterbalance. We have been taught to "see" negative space to better define positive shape or form. How does negative and positive space work in tandem to define the content and attitude of a work of art?
Ken Konchel: Point Perspective
Ken Konchel is drawn to the expressive power of buildings. Provocatively capturing architecture in an abstract, graphic way keenly interests him. His intention is to make compelling photographs that remove the context and distill architecture to nothing but relationships of shape, line, pattern, detail, tone and/or texture.
Shelby Fleming and Kelsie Ward: Permanent Flux and Everyday Fragility
These artists present a two-person exhibition of sculptural works and installation environments. Fleming investigates ideas such as bodily fragility seen through the ephemeral qualities of electron microscope scans and Ward creates fabricated environments with triangular forms that immerse the viewer in the permanence of environmental change. Together, their works concentrate on internal and external relationships revolving around the human condition. They approach materials as process oriented makers, who value the rawness of materials, resulting in media choices that coincide with one another and concentrate within the contrast between the organic and the synthetic.
Gallery Hours : Tuesday - Friday 10 am - 6 pm and Saturday 10 am - 4 pm
