Featured HEREart Exhibition
The Color Wheel
The Color Wheel is a show that takes three artists, who use very diverse media and have very different approaches to art making, but whose common connection is the use of bright saturated color.
HEREart Coming June 13 - July 13
curated by Megan Hildebrandt
In Traces, members of EyeSplice Collective examine the changing role of the contemporary self portrait via performance and video, painting, drawing, and installation. Michelle Hagewood's cellular, digital drawings evoke the self as defined by the elements and structures that make up the world around us. Magnolia Laurie and Cynthia Mason use paint and installation to build and explore architectual spaces and landscapes. Christine Sajecki and Lauren Alyssa Howard rely heavily on memory, history, and sense-of-place to create encaustic paintings and graphite drawings. Megan Piontkowski has created a mixed media, multidimensional alternate reality staring her alterego, Sebastian, while Ellen Mueller plays an entire cast of characters in her performances, books, and drawings. Megan Hildebrandt uses autobiographical drawing to investigate her experience as a cancer survivor.
About HEREart:
HEREart provides emerging and early career visual artists and curators access to space at an active, well-located multi-arts center. We feature 5-6 exhibitions each year that creatively work with our unique spaces and engage audiences with artwork specially curated to function within a busy environment. This focus on interactive space naturally leads HEREart to function as the center of our community of artists.
HEREart’s location as an entryway to our theatres ensures a diverse and eclectic audience will experience the art. HEREart embraces its alter ego as a lobby for HERE’s performance spaces and encourages our artists to react and respond to this with their exhibits. HERE is a very appropriate place for today’s active and interactive visual art: art
that often moves, makes noise, and physically engages the viewer. HEREart seeks to snag
these passers-by and engage them in a dialogue with the space in which we move. HEREart is invested in supporting artworks of all media and various content (painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, collage, media), but we concentrate on new work that in some way addresses the special conditions of our space.
Every exhibit at HERE is a site-specific installation that stretches our understanding of the words “art” and “performance,” creating a multi-layered experience for our patrons that sticks with them as they move from one space to the next.
