Exposure 11
Reception : July 31, 2008 5:30 - 7:30pm

Olivia Lahs-Gonzales, Snail Scott, and Andrew Millner. Exposure 11 will focuses on three local artists. Olivia Lahs-Gonzales will show new photography and video on the microcosm of gardens. Andrew Millner’s conceptually based, digital prints of tress and flowering plants offer a Zen-like mediation on the process of seeing. Snail Scott creates an interface between reality and potential by combining unlikely imagery and materials in her mixed media sculptures.


Located in Gallery A.

 

June 27 - August 9, 2008
Survey of Contemporary Chinese Paintings
Reception : Friday June 27, 2008 5:30 - 7:30pm

Gallery 210 starts its summer exhibition season with a special exhibition co-sponsored with the Center for International Studies at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The exhibition Contemporary Chinese Painting from the Harbin Art School: Gao Huimin , Gang Li, Wang Long Lu Yunshun will feature the work of four artists associated with the Harbin Normal University in the Heilongjiang Province of China. Harbin Normal University is well known for its higher education in the arts, its high quality faculty, and advanced facilities.

As the exhibition title indicates the exhibition features paintings executed in the traditional style known in Chinese today as guó huà, meaning 'national' or 'native painting', in opposition to Western styles of oil painting which became popular in China in the 20th century. Traditional painting involves essentially the same techniques as calligraphy and is done with a brush dipped in black or colored ink.


Located in Gallery B.

Jill Viney: Dwelling

Viney's sculptures unquestionably evoke, through their biomorphic forms and their"living light" element, the restless energy of the natural world. Of particular significance to her current body of work is the phenomenon of "living light " or bioluminescence - light produced by organisms such as fish, fungi, jellyfish, mollusks, and sponges among others.

Viney is distinguished from her contemporaries by the inclusion of light in her sculpture and her willingness to allow chance - the uncertain flow of light moment by moment - to affect perception.
