Calendar
2008 - 2009
  EXHIBIT:
REGROWTH
Friday, June 20 - Sunday, August 24, 2008
Public opening reception: Friday June 20, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm
Features nine artists who will present large-scale installations and otherwise substantial groups of works. These works make use of plant imagery as a metaphor for universal cycles of death and renewal. Many of the artists work within poetic registers that suggest loss or nostalgia and convey a sense of the fragility of the natural environment. All of these artists explore a mediated and stylized nature that in the history of art has often taken the form of a garden. The exhibition is curated by Edie Carpenter.
