Lecture and Opening Preview
Thursday, September 11, 2014 6-8 PM

Garry Noland’s new work, all dating from 2014, uses scavenged foam slabs from Lake of the Ozarks, discarded PVC pipe from Kansas City’s Google Fiber project, store-bought marbles, aluminum paint, and tape. The combined and re-combined materials compose sculpture referring to architectural remnants and geological fragments. The art historical precedents are minimalist sculpture from the 1960s-1970s and “Arte Povera as witnessed by his complete openness regarding materials, processes and simple forms.” This new work continues the artist’s interest in mapping, basic materials, surface manipulation, as well as a disregard for prescribed interpretation.

Sean Starowitz’s practice focuses on the notion of exchange specifically, through community engagement and experimental programming. This exhibition will focus specifically on his studio practice of drawing, proposal-generation, model-making, and images that ask audiences to re-imagine ourselves within the built environment, both in urban and suburban contexts. Asks Starowitz: “What are our monuments? How do we share our history? How do we memorialize the forgotten stories?”

Amy Kligman’s exhibited work tends towards reflections on the rural environment she grew up in. The visual vocabulary might include flaking linoleum, astroturf, wormy tendrils of shag carpet, fistfuls of paper confetti, and other bits of middle American detritus. The content and approach to make are reflective of a mix of Kligman’s influences: her mother’s folk crafts, the high/low culture clash, the complicated character of the American Midwest, and the personal and cultural weight of everyday objects.
