“a glimpse within” opens friday, january 7, 6-9pm at la esquina

Curated by artist Caleb Taylor, A Glimpse Inward presents a group of artists whose works offer commanding views into explorations of the body, science, media, and psychology.  Featured artists are Rollin Beamish (Bozeman, MT), Lori Hiris (New York, NY), John Douglas Powers (Birmingham, AL), Caleb Taylor (Kansas City, MO), and Chris Turbuck (Bozeman, MT). The show opens Friday, January 7, 6-9pm, at la Esquina, 1000 West 25th Street, a Charlotte Street Urban Culture Project venue. An Artists Talk follows on Saturday, January 8 at 2pm, featuring special presentations by Rollin Beamish and John Douglas Powers.

Through autobiographical comic books, kinetic sculptures, videos, and paintings, these artists investigate the use of “inner” structures as both literal and metaphorical platforms to generate meaning. The exhibition establishes the act of looking as a conceptual focus, with voyeurism, or the “pleasure of looking,” as a key component to how these artists gather material and create an aesthetic.
