Systematic Disorder Images

Here are some images from the Systematic Disorder installation at Rogue Community College.  It's always interesting to see how someone else interprets your work, especially something like an installation piece.  The images aren't the greatest, but you can get the idea.

Spontaneity, Randomness, and Gesture at West Virginia Wesleyan College Postcard



This is the postcard for the exhibition at West Virginia Wesleyan College, that I curated. The exhibition is based on the Abstract Expressionist movement and how artists today are embracing the ideas behind the movement and making adding their own spin on it. All of the artists are women. While there were many women who painted in the expressionist style, especially after the 1950's, the art created was largely seen by the critics of the time as male dominated in its scale and spirit. All of the artists in this exhibition were born after the Women's Movement and do not see Abstract Expressionism as a male dominated territory. They do not feel the weight of Picasso or DeKooning on their shoulders and are unconcerned with the critical history of the movement. Rather, they look to art from the past that seems to answer formal issues and that presents a structure through which they can explore their own interior visions.

Installation images to come later!
