Creation by Accident: Works by Aimee Manion & Sebastian van Gorder

Opening Reception:

October 3, 2008
7:00 pm
to
10:00 pm

Aimee Manion and Sebastian van Gorder have been Creating together for over half of a decade. Their work is both playful and searingly resolute. A melding of the abstract and the tangible, their imagery explores the wonders and mysteries of Creation.

By constructing captivating vistas of movement and provocative color overlaid with suggestive forms and figures, they aim to incite viewers to inquire within themselves about their own existence, about the unknown and the ineffable.

Drawing inspiration from science texts, headline news and everything in between, Aimee and Sebastian commit layer after layer to the canvas (or, rather, wood, paper, glass and drafting film). Each additional layer obscures the previous layers, much the way that our origins and the origins of the universe are cloaked in unending potential for discovery and question. Nothing is obvious. Nothing is intended to be interpreted in a particular way. No object or artwork is assigned a meaning.
As each piece develops, its meaning undergoes a constant metamorphosis, absorbing energy and ideas from two Beings and combining them into a single artifact that can be can be pondered endlessly.

Sebastian holds a degree in Biochemistry; Aimee in Fine Art with a minor in Anthropology. As the universe draws on all available resources to create, so does this Pair. Creation has filled a void in space. Aimee and Sebastian aim to fill a void as well. The viewer needs to bring their own void.

Exhibit runs through the 24th.

Of Beasts

The Artwork of Christian Breitkreutz, Jason Rosemeyer, Mike Ninehouser, and Bethany Chiarizio

Closing Reception 7 to 10pm. Saturday Sept 27, 2008

Four friends weave fables of their own telling and recall those already known as they reflect on modern themes both real and imaginary. The works of Jason Rosemeyer, Christian Breitkreutz, Bethany Chiarizio, and Michael Ninehouser collectively convey a sense of warning while maintaining a subtle sense of wit as they visually dictate the daunting pleasures and splendid anxieties of modern day living.

Modernformations Gallery: Signs of Survival August 1,2008

Modernformations Gallery and Performance Space Presents
"SIGNS OF SURVIVAL: THE ART OF LIVING AFTER TRAUMA"
Opening Reception
Friday August 1, 2008
7 to 10pm

Most of us have been affected by trauma personally or through the experience of a loved one, friend or coworker. We survive terrorism, abusive family environments, poverty, rape, environmental decay, military service inactive war zones, extreme health challenges, child abuse, and many other traumatic experiences.

This exhibit honors our survival, our journey after the trauma has occurred, and our inherent worth and dignity. It asks: How do we as individuals, family units, and communities survive traumatic events? How do we process our experience of trauma? How do we heal and build thriving relationships and lives after trauma?

Trauma survival has the power to unify us and provide common ground for communicating, healing, and planning our future. Come and join the dialogue with many artists who answer these questions in unique and powerful ways.

Experience their healing processes and lives after surviving traumatic events.

Exhibit runs to Saturday, August 30th. Closing reception from 1-4pm

Modern Formations Gallery in Garfield, Pittsburgh PA has a great ceramics show March 7-23 2008

A standout exhibit from my visit to the Unblurred Gallery Crawl this past Friday March 7, 2008 is the Americana Refigured Ceramics Exhibit at ModernFormations Gallery in Garfield. I don't like to be an unnecessary filter so I won't provide any "review-like" criticism except that it's a must see exhibit in my opinion. More info on the artists and theme can be found at http://www.modernformations.com/ . Runs from March 7 to March 23, 2008.

During the NCECA conference their hours are Wed-Sat 9am to 7pm.
