Breath on a Mirror

Oct - Nov, 2002
more info »

Rikuo Ueda and Marcus Kenney are two artists bound together by their embrace of what John Cage termed “chance operations.” Ueda’s wind drawings allow for a humorous, yet profound interpretation of human ability to invent technologies to chart and control nature, while Kenney’s found object constructions transform society’s cast offs into ironic icons.

Palimpsest Afghanistan

Sep - Oct, 2002
online exhibition »

This exhibition marks the one-year anniversary of the terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001. In the aftermath, the sentiment expressed by many Americans was to bomb Afghanistan "back to the Stone Age"—a sentiment that could not have been more ironic, given the fact that the Soviets had already leveled much of the country's infrastructure in the 1980's. But before 9-11, most Americans had little understanding of the country of Afghanistan or its people. Since then, our country's and the world's attention has been focused on this forgotten corner of the globe.

Cheryl Goldsleger Improvisations

Feb - Mar, 2002
more info »

This exhibition took measure of Athens, Georgia artist Cheryl Goldsleger’s production over the past six years. It traced her early architectonic spaces, through the maze-like repetitions and grid formats, to her current work involving computer- generated drawings and inset sculptural forms within the paintings. Throughout her artistic trajectory, Goldsleger has defied easy categorization. She has made drawings, prints, paintings with encaustic, and even sculpture, yet the medium has never been the message.
