Dr. Katherine Huntley & Dr. Joanne Klein enjoying art!
A collection of contemporary art will be on display at the Arts and Humanities Institute Gallery from Feb. 20- October 2014. The gallery is located at the Ron and Linda Yanke Family Research Park at 220 E. Parkcenter
Titled “Now Read This,” the exhibition comprises 45 works by 39 contemporary artists of international Blvd. background and reputation from the collection of Driek and Michael Zirinsky. The works are united by their use of textual elements and by their textural granularity and their inclusion of textile references and components. Just as text, texture and textile all share a common root (the Latin textus means woven), these works all invite the viewer to bring a reader’s close level of examination to their encounter with the work. Pay close attention and you may catch the visual forms of language in their beauty, multiplicity and mutability, in the process of assembling themselves into meaning.
Featured artists include Ghada Amer, Xu Bing, Hildur Bjarnadottir, Mel Chin, Annabel Daou, Ala Ebtekar, Olafur Eliasson, Markus Hansen, Dinh Q. Le, Robert Longo, Sherry Markovitz, Ulrike Palmbach, Kathryn Spence and Xiaoze Xie, among others.
