The Urban Institute of Contemporary Arts will open their final exhibitions at their current location at 41 Sheldon Blvd. SE before moving to their new location on Fulton. Help the UICA celebrate their last exhibit in the current building at a free reception this Friday, June 11, from 6-9 p.m. Guests will be able to meet the six artists being showcased, explore their work and enjoy amazing food with drinks.
Don't miss your chance to see the following artists:
Rebecca Murtaugh will be showcasing her installation Temptations, which is creating with everyday materials and varying techniques. Murtaugh's piece maintains a balance of formal and conceptual motivations, drawing from the language of each material's history.
Bryan Leister's installation, Transit, explores issues of representation and landscape. The piece combines single channel projection animation, 5-channel sound, 3D printed sculptures and original drawings. The concept for Leister's piece revolves are explorations of the Colorado landscape and interest in depicting layers of representation to the viewer.
Justin Webb's series of paintings, entitled While Holding Our Own, explore the concept of an ever-evolving narrative. Webb's combination of images and audio demonstrate the interconnections that create historical facts.
Nicola Vruwink's work, To You. From Me. Love, Nicola, involves organic forms constructed from crocheted cassette tape. The repetitive nature of crocheting provides a symmetry and order to the chaotic state of modern life and sense of stillness amidst the disorder. Through the employment of humble, nearly obsolete materials and means, Vruwink examines the impermanence and temporal nature of our society, paced by technological advances, resulting in the disconnection of people and ensuing loneliness of modern urban life.
Christopher Gauthier's Constructs of Diversion, Part III: Mountains and Molehills is an anthology of art produced to embody metaphorical interpretations of thoughts, feelings, actions, dreams and memories in tangible collections.
dis.place.ment, a group exhibition, marks the last show in the Monroe Gallery before the UICA moves to their new facility. The collection of work considers emotional or physical displacement in a broader spatial, social, economic or political context.
