SUMMARY:American Impressionism: The Lure of the Artists' Colony
DESCRIPTION:American Impressionism: The Lure of the Artists’ Colony \n  \nDrawn from the extensive collection of the Reading Public Museum\, this exhibition examines the key role played by artist colonies around the country in the development of American Impressionism. It features more than 50 oil paintings and works on paper of the late 19th and early 20th centuries by leading artists of the movement including Frank W. Benson\, John Carlson\, William Merritt Chase\, Childe Hassam\, Ernest Lawson\, William Paxton\, Robert Reid\, John Twachtman and Julian Alden Weir\, along with expatriate masters such as Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent. The exhibition explores a wide range of approaches to Impressionism\, an important artistic movement aimed at capturing the effects of light and atmosphere. \n  \nWorks in the exhibition are arranged according to the artist colonies that played a critical role in the development of American Impressionism: Cos Cob and Old Lyme in Connecticut; Cape Cod\, Cape Anne\, and Rockport\, in Massachusetts; New Hope and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; Taos\, New Mexico; and throughout California. Within each of these colonies\, artists were able to teach\, collaborate and escape the daily rigors of their city studios. Often located in scenic locations within striking distance of major cities\, artists’ colonies provided an ideal retreat within which leading artists were inspired to produce compelling works of art\, whether bold portraits\, vibrant landscapes\, or picturesque images of urban life. \n  \nThe Reading’s collection in many ways represents a cross-section of American Impressionism\, and demonstrates the variety of ways in which the nation’s painters adapted the movement’s ideas to their individual artistic endeavors. The collection also offers a broader national lens through which viewers can assess the work of Catherine Wiley\, Lloyd Branson\, Adelia Lutz\, Charles Krutch\, Hugh Tyler and other East Tennessee painters who experimented with Impressionism during this period\, and whose work can be seen in the KMA’s ongoing exhibition Higher Ground (third floor). \n  \nOrganized by the Reading Public Museum\, Pennsylvania.

SUMMARY:Gathering Light: Works by Beauford Delaney from the KMA Collection
DESCRIPTION:With encouragement from his mentor\, renowned Knoxville painter Lloyd Branson\, Delaney left Knoxville in 1923 and by 1929 settled in New York City\, where his artistic talents and outgoing nature attracted a host of cultural luminaries including James Baldwin\, Duke Ellington\, Willem de Kooning\, Henry Miller\, Georgia O’Keeffe\, and Alfred Stieglitz.  Many of them became lifelong friends and subjects for his portraits.  After settling permanently in Paris in 1953\, the central subject of his work became color—luminous color—applied with vigorous brushwork. Visible references to the outside world began to fade as the artist sought to battle his growing mental illness with what he believed to be the healing powers of light and brilliant hues.  As the artist’s inner turmoil grew\, so did the emotional intensity of his paintings.  Lifelong friend James Baldwin described Delaney’s compositions as a “metamorphosis into freedom” fueled by a painted light that “held the power to illuminate\, even to redeem and reconcile and heal.” \nGathering Light includes approximately 40 of Delaney’s paintings and drawings—nearly all of which have never before been on public view—that were purchased from the artist’s estate between 2014 and 2016. The majority of works featured in the exhibition were produced during and after the 1940s. Together\, they provide a fascinating cross-section of the artist’s stellar career and demonstrate his ability to distill scenes of everyday life into explorations of the expressive power of color. The diverse selection also offers insight into Delaney’s complex inner world and demonstrates the broad spectrum of his creativity and experimentation. \nComplementing the group of works acquired by the KMA is a selection of important objects on loan from Delaney’s estate that the museum hopes to acquire. With the acquisition of these additional works\, the KMA will have taken a major step toward establishing Knoxville as an international center for Beauford Delaney’s legacy along with New York and Paris. Also included is a selection of archival materials that shed light on the artist’s life and times. \nThe paintings and drawings in Gathering Light were purchased with funds provided by the KMA’s Rachael Patterson Young Art Acquisition Reserve (part of a major gift from the Aslan Foundation)\, along with additional support from the KMA Collectors Circle\, Brenda and Larry Thompson\, and friends of the museum.  The KMA also wishes to acknowledge the heirs of Beauford Delaney and Derek L. Spratley\, the executor of the Estate of Beauford Delaney\, for making works available for loan and acquisition. Selected works in the exhibition were conserved with funds provided by the Guild of the Knoxville Museum of Art through the Arlene Goldstine Conservation Fund. Custom framing was provided by Bennett Galleries\, Inc and funded in part by the Guild of the Knoxville Museum of Art. \nClick here for a full listing of works in the exhibition. \n \nBeauford Delaney 1901 – 1979

SUMMARY:Virtual Views: Digital Art from the Thoma Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Views features a variety of electronic works each of which presents a paradox—it is comprised of synthetic materials and powered by digital technology\, yet the rhythms and patterns of its imagery are derived from nature. The featured artists include Jim Campbell\, Craig Dorety\, John Gerrard\, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer\, Alan Rath\, Daniel Rozin\, Björn Schülke\, Jennifer Steinkamp\, and Leo Villareal. \nOrganized by the KMA and presented in conjunction with the Big Ears 2017 music festival\, March 23-26\, 2017. \nVirtual Views Gallery Guide \n  \nVirtual Views: Digital Art from the Thoma Foundation \n  \n  \n  \nDrawn from the extensive Chicago-based collection of Carl and Marilynn Thoma\, Virtual Views explores the growing importance of electronic media in contemporary art as seen in a diverse selection of works by artists who are pioneers in the use of LED (light-emitting diode)\, LCD (liquid crystal display)\, and computer-driven imagery. The nine works in the exhibition are comprised of synthetic materials and powered by digital technology\, yet the rhythms and patterns of their imagery are derived from nature. This area of strength within the Thoma Foundation’s digital art collection also echoes East Tennessee’s dual identity as a technological corridor containing Oak Ridge National Laboratories and the Tennessee Valley Authority\, and as a biodiverse wilderness area that includes 244\,000 acres of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. On a broader level\, Virtual Views reflects the reality of a contemporary global culture whose general function and relationship with the natural environment are increasingly mediated by digital technology. \n  \nLarge flat screen-based forms by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Daniel Rozin take full advantage of the interactive capabilities afforded by digital technology. Using algorithmic programming\, cameras\, and monitors\, they create generative imagery that depends on audience participation. Found archival images of the natural world are optically transformed and digitally reconstructed by artists Jim Campbell and John Gerrard. Looping animations by Leo Villareal\, Craig Dorety\, and Jennifer Steinkamp explore the mind’s capacity to comprehend nature’s complexity. Works by Alan Rath and Björn Schülke are encased in sculptural bodies that extend their electronic imagery into physical space. \n  \nThrough these diverse strategies and formats\, the artists in Virtual Views create compelling statements about technology and the natural world. Several include imagery whose rhythms\, textures\, and contours are strikingly organic in character and natural in appearance despite being composed of synthetic elements. In others\, found images or generative processes serve as links to nature and its evolving ecosystems. A corresponding evolution in imaging tools promises to equip future generations of artists with the creative means to challenge in new ways the narrowing distinctions between virtual and real. While reflecting the expanding presence of digital technology in contemporary society\, Virtual Views offers evidence of its growing role in reshaping the landscape of contemporary art. Continued support of devoted collectors like Carl and Marilynn Thoma\, coupled with broader institutional validation\, promises to accelerate this transformation. \n  \nVirtual Views is organized by the KMA with the generous support of the Thoma Foundation and presented in conjunction with the 2017 Big Ears Festival March 23-26.\nPresenting sponsors: Jennifer and Greg Dunn\nAdditional Resources:\nJim Campbell “Home Movie Pause (David)” \nOffset Circles Yellow Flowering Tree Blue Sky \nLeo Villareal’s Big Bang

SUMMARY:Jered Sprecher: Outside In
DESCRIPTION:Sprecher constructs each painting by integrating Digital Age tools and virtuoso brushwork. Computers\, copiers\, and printers enable him to acquire and prepare selected images beforehand\, in some cases adjusting and filtering them to the point at which they become ghostly remnants of the original. Intermingled with a broad range of abstract passages\, this imagery is transferred onto canvas by hand through a meticulous\, intuitive\, and labor-intensive process. Inch by inch and layer by layer\, he applies pigment in translucent veils\, stenciled grids\, feathered stripes\, irregular dabs\, and serpentine drips. The resulting compositions possess a transitional character—at close range\, rich surface details are optically dominant while from a distance opalescent hues command greater attention\, conveying a degree of luminosity reminiscent of digital monitors. \nOutside In\, Sprecher’s first solo museum exhibition\, reflects the dynamic range of the artist’s recent work in terms of format\, scale\, imagery\, and process. His design for the exhibition layout is inspired by the centuries-old practice of adorning living spaces with motifs derived from the natural world. Here\, muted images of birds and flowers appear sporadically\, often embedded between layered abstract passages. Sprecher also uses unorthodox object placement and format to infuse the gallery setting with subtle domestic references. One work appears in the form of a 30-foot long span of custom wallpaper based on digital scans of a loosely painted surface. Several related canvases are suspended from the ceiling in a way that enables them to serve a dual role as vibrant contemporary paintings and as partitions dividing the gallery space into separate compartments. Sprecher’s resulting installation scheme enables viewers to experience his recent work as a single intimate environment\, and as individual statements representing his ongoing treasure hunt through the debris of visual culture. \nJered Sprecher is a professor in the School of Art\, University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, and is represented by Jeff Bailey Gallery\, New York; Gallery 16\, San Francisco; and Steven Zevitas Gallery\, Boston. \nJered Sprecher: Outside In is organized by the Knoxville Museum of Art and is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts and Emerson Process Management. \nAdditional exhibition support is provided by Jeff Bailey Gallery\, New York; Gallery 16\, San Francisco; Steven Zevitas Gallery\, Boston; and the University of Tennessee’s School of Art\, College of Arts & Sciences\, and Office of Research & Engagement. \n  \nAdditional Resources:\nJered Sprecher: Outside In \nJered Sprecher: Outside In (EXCERPT)

SUMMARY:Romantic Spirits: Nineteenth Century Paintings of the South from the Johnson Collection
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Estill Curtis Pennington\, this exhibition highlights the historical\, social\, and cultural forces that profoundly influenced aesthetic sensibilities between 1810 and 1890. In the companion publication to the show\, Pennington examines the core concepts of the Romantic Movement as it unfolded in the American South: the heroic individual\, an idealized chivalric code of personal honor\, the sublime quality of nature\, and the inevitability of change in an imperfect world. Many of the artists under consideration created works of art which have achieved iconic status in the annals of painting in the South\, including William Dickinson Washington\, William Thompson Russell Smith\, Gustave Henry Mosler\, Thomas Addison Richards\, Joseph Rusling Meeker\, Robert Walter Weir\, and Thomas Sully. \nLocated in Spartanburg\, South Carolina\, the Johnson Collection offers an extensive survey of artistic activity in the American South from the late eighteenth century to the present day. The Johnson family is committed to creating a collection which captures and illuminates the rich history and diverse cultures of the region. By making masterworks from its holdings available for critical exhibitions and academic research\, the family hopes to advance interest in the dynamic role that the art of the South plays in the larger context of American art and to contribute to the canon of art historical literature.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Focus 2016: John Douglas Powers
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Focus 2016: John Douglas Powers \n  \nMay 6-August 7\, 2016 \n  \nJohn Douglas Powers investigates the intersection of natural history\, technology\, music\, and physical space in the form of intricate kinetic sculptures and atmospheric video projections. By employing motion and sound in his work\, he incorporates the passage of time as a compositional element in an attempt to examine abstract and often intangible topics such as memory\, thought\, emotion\, and language. \n  \nAt the center of the exhibition is a monumental motorized sculpture entitled Locus (2015). At 22 feet in diameter\, it is the largest and most ambitious standalone object Powers has produced to date. It consists of several hundred moving parts—some of which are carved from various woods including oak\, poplar\, and aspen. The rounded form of the sculpture draws inspiration from sources as varied as ancient Etruscan burial mounds and its inner workings recall agrarian machinery that reshaped the rural Indiana landscape of Powers’ youth. Sprouting from its rugged\, mechanized base are delicate reed-like elements\, whose patterns of movement suggest strands of foliage disturbed by natural currents of wind or water. \n  \nAccompanying Locus is one of Powers’ recent video projections\, Revenant (2014). As if a portal to another plane\, it presents a clouded void whose ethereal character stands in stark contrast to Locus’s sprawling structural framework. The contrast between physically imposing sculptural forms and projected video imagery is central to Powers’ studio practice: “Solid\, tangible materials of construction are in distinct counterpoint to the ephemerality of movement\, sound\, and time. Implicit in both objects and images is the thin divide between everythingness and nothingness.” Although Revenant’s imagery implies absence\, the video’s title offers the promise of return and a reconnection to the past. \n  \nContemporary Focus recognizes\, supports\, and documents the development of contemporary art in East Tennessee.  Launched in 2009\, this KMA-organized exhibition series features the work of artists who are living and making art in this region\, and exploring issues relevant to the larger world of contemporary art. \n  \n  \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nJohn Douglas Powers was born in Frankfort\, Indiana in 1978. His sculptural work has been exhibited nationally at venues including the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art\, MIT Museum\, Mariana Kistler Beach Museum of Art at Kansas State University\, Huntsville Museum of Art\, Wiregrass Museum of Art\, Alexander Brest Museum\, Masur Museum\, Gadsden Museum of Art\, Jonathan Ferrara Gallery\, Brenda Taylor Gallery\, Georgia Museum of Art\, Vero Beach Museum of Art and Cue Art Foundation. His videos and animations have been screened internationally. \n  \nPowers studied art history at Vanderbilt University and earned his MFA in sculpture\, with distinction\, at the University of Georgia. His work has been featured in The New York Times\, World Sculpture News\, Sculpture Magazine\, Art Forum\, The Huffington Post\, Art in America\, and The Boston Globe\, and on CBS News Sunday Morning. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship\, Virginia A. Groot Foundation Award\, Joan Mitchell Foundation MFA Grant\, and Southeastern College Art Conference Individual Artist Fellowship. Powers currently lives and works in Knoxville and is Assistant Professor of Sculpture at The University of Tennessee. \n  \nJohn Douglas Powers 1978

SUMMARY:FULL STOP: Tom Burckhardt
DESCRIPTION:FULL STOP: Tom Burckhardt \n  \n  \nFULL STOP is an elaborate installation fabricated entirely of cardboard and black paint. It takes the form of a mythical modern artist’s studio\, complete with hundreds of tools\, paint brushes\, and other supplies\, each constructed with great attention to the smallest detail. FULL STOP examines an artist’s inner sanctum\, and explores notions of creativity\, inspiration\, and the lives of individuals who helped shape the art world of today. \n  \nThe installation is filled with specific art historical references including Jackson Pollock’s shoes\, Jasper Johns’s Savarin can\, and Edward Hopper’s potbellied stove. Entering the installation\, the viewer animates the space while experiencing an artist’s creative dilemma first hand. As Burckhardt states: “This walk-though environment is full of the clutter and paraphernalia of the modern painter\, toiling in romantic obscurity against the existential void. Except he/she doesn’t seem to be succeeding. A basic lack of ideas has crippled production despite having all the right materials: tools\, art supplies\, art books and postcards of past masters’ work at hand. The highly detailed and slavishly worked whorl of the stuff of art-making and bohemian existence\, all carefully constructed of cardboard and painted in a cartoon-like manner\, belie the contradiction at the center of the room: a blank canvas sitting on the easel.” \n  \nTom Burckhardt was born in New York in 1964 and has spent his entire life there. He graduated with a B.F.A. in Painting from SUNY Purchase in 1986 and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture that same year. He has been exhibiting since 1992 at various New York galleries including Tibor De Nagy Gallery and Caren Golden Fine Art\, as well as Gregory Lind Gallery in San Francisco\, California. \n  \nFULL STOP  is organized by the Columbus College of Art and Design\, Columbus\, Ohio. \n

SUMMARY:Knoxville Seven
DESCRIPTION:The Knoxville 7       \n  \nThis exhibition is the first ever devoted to the history and legacy of a group of groundbreaking Knoxville artists who worked and exhibited together from the mid 1950s until 1965. C. Kermit “Buck” Ewing\, who came to Knoxville as the first head of the University of Tennessee art department\, recruited a group of progressive artists—initially Carl Sublett\, Walter Stevens\, and Robert Birdwell—to exhibit together in Knoxville and throughout the Southeast. Brash and ambitious\, they explored the new visual language of Abstract Expressionism and produced what are likely the first abstract art works in East Tennessee. Sometimes they exhibited as a foursome and later as “The Knoxville 7” with fellow painters Joanna Higgs Ross and Richard Clarke\, and sculptor Philip Nichols. They were influential as artists and teachers\, establishing a foothold for avant garde ideas in East Tennessee and elevating the area’s visual arts profile. This exhibition calls attention to the important artistic contributions they made collectively and individually. This is the most comprehensive presentation of their work to date\, and represents an important step the KMA’s mission to preserve and celebrate East Tennessee’s art history. \n  \nThe Knoxville 7 remained a loose association whose artists maintained distinctly separate creative paths. Certain members worked closely with one another\, while others rarely communicated except on matters related to the group’s exhibitions. Robert Birdwell and Buck Ewing were bonded by their common interest in painting the human figure and city views. However\, Birdwell strongly favored Knoxville subjects while Ewing often depicted views of faraway places and exotic subjects encountered on his frequent overseas travels. Walter Stevens and Carl Sublett shared a passion for landscape painting out of doors\, whether in local marble quarries or coastal Maine where they summered with their families.   While Sublett shifted effortlessly between gestural landscape abstractions and realist figure paintings\, Stevens consistently produced abstract vistas in which land and sea appear by stirred by turbulent natural forces. Watercolor specialist Richard Clarke often joined Stevens and Sublett on painting sessions in Knoxville and Maine\, as did Ewing on occasion. In her atmospheric canvases\, Joanna Higgs Ross applied networks of bold cross-hatched strokes to transform local landscapes into dynamic studies of sky and foliage\, or shadowy backdrops for introspective self portraits. Philip Nichols\, the Knoxville 7’s sole sculptor\, brought extensive industrial welding skills to the production of intricate steel forms that\, in their abstract geometric volumes\, served as fitting sculptural counterparts to the largely abstract canvases produced by other members of the group. \n  \nAs for their collective contributions\, the Knoxville 7 artists invigorated Knoxville’s art scene with a regular slate of art exhibitions\, benefit art auctions\, and lively opening events. They promoted the notion that meaningful art could happen in Knoxville as much as anywhere. They also brought visibility to city’s art scene by circulating exhibitions of their work to important venues around the Southeast\, and connected Knoxville to the larger art world by introducing international contemporary art concepts in campus classrooms and in the paintings and sculptures they exhibited locally. \n  \nBy the mid 1960s\, in light of rapid growth in the University of Tennessee’s faculty and student body\, Ewing suspended the group’s activities and left them to pursue their own individual endeavors. Each continued working\, teaching\, and exhibiting\, and occasionally collaborated with one or more members of the group on exhibitions held at various local and regional venues. By 1965\, although their collective identity ended\, the group had firmly established Knoxville as an important spot for contemporary art in the Southeast. \n  \nLittle documentation of The Knoxville 7 exists outside of a handful of news articles and publications\, recollections of local audience members who attended the group’s events\, and works of art scattered throughout various private and public collections. This exhibition is a vital step toward raising awareness of Knoxville 7 artists’ historical significance\, locating additional works of art\, and uncovering new information about the artists and their activities. Toward that goal\, the KMA seeks works of art\, letters\, photographs\, articles\, eyewitness accounts\, and other information capable of supporting future projects aimed a defining the legacy of the Knoxville 7 in greater depth. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Paternal Suit: Heirlooms from the F. Scott Hess Family Foundation
DESCRIPTION:The Paternal Suit consists of over 100 paintings\, prints\, and objects created by Hess\, but presented as legitimate historical artifacts\, and supported by photographs\, documents\, and historical ephemera. Each object and artwork bears an artist’s name and detailed provenance and has been executed in the style of the century from which it supposedly originates. Sculpture\, ceramics\, furniture\, toys\, newspaper clippings\, historic photographs\, guns\, and costumes advance the story. Hess does not claim authorship for the works on display. Instead\, he ascribes to them fictional artists\, referring to himself as the Director of the “F. Scott Hess Family Foundation.” \n  \nThe exhibition follows Hessʼs ancestral lineage from 17th century England to the Puritan settlements of South Carolina and Georgia\, where family members became key players in the War Between the States (1860–65).  Through the prism of his ancestry\, Hess examines the impact of false history and deception within each generation and throughout society as a whole\, and questions the authority of these perceived “truths.” The ultimate subtext for the installation\, which traces the trajectory of the Iverson\, Patton\, Nolan\, and Hess family lines\, is the seven-year old artist’s abandonment by his own father after a parental divorce. \nF. Scott Hess 1955

SUMMARY:Evan Roth: Intellectual Property Donor
DESCRIPTION:Intellectual Property Donor is the first major U.S. one-person presentation of Evan Roth’s pioneering\, multi-faceted and interactive installations\, custom software\, prints\, sculptures and websites. Roth\, a self-professed “hacktivist” artist\, is interested in uses of technology in popular culture and the urban environment. He playfully transforms existing information systems into public\, often political\, statements. Blurring the line between artist and hacker\, the exhibition challenges gallery visitors to consider how everyday life intersects with virtual reality and how viral media can become high art. In addition to the kind of work included in this exhibition\, Roth has collaborated with Jay-Z on the first open source rap video. Born in 1978 in Okemos\, Michigan\, Roth earned a degree in architecture from the University of Maryland\, and an M.F.A. from the Design and Technology department at Parsons The New School for Design from which he graduated as class valedictorian. He worked at the Eyebeam OpenLab\, an open source creative technology lab for the public domain from 2005 to 2007 and co-founded the Graffiti Research Lab in 2005 and the Free Art and Technology Lab (FAT Lab)\, an arts and free culture collective\, in 2007. Roth currently lives in Paris with his wife and daughter where he maintains a studio and is represented by XPO Gallery. His work can be found online at evan-roth.com. \nAdditional Resources:\nEvan Roth Video 1 \nEvan Roth Video 2 \nEvan Roth Video 3 \n\nEvan Roth 1978

SUMMARY:LIFT: Contemporary Printmaking in the Third Dimension
DESCRIPTION:The featured artists are Enrique Chagoya\, Lesley Dill\, Olafur Eliasson\, Robert Gober\, Red Grooms\, Hideki Kimura\, Nicola Lopez\, Oscar Munoz\, Leslie Mutchler\, Marilene Oliver\, Dieter Roth\, Graciela Sacco\, and Jonathan Stanish. Organized by the KMA and presented in conjunction with the Printmaking Program\, School of Art\, University of Tennessee\, Knoxville. \nClick here for the LIFT catalog \n  \nLIFT: Contemporary Printmaking in the Third Dimension \n  \nJanuary 30-April 19\, 2015 \n  \n  \nLIFT: Contemporary Printmaking in the Third Dimension examines recent developments aimed at extending the physical and conceptual possibilities of the print as defined by an international slate of established and emerging artists. The works in LIFT incorporate new materials and digital tools\, as well as traditional approaches applied in innovative and unexpected ways. These adventurous works reflect the range and vitality of experimentation within printmaking today. \n  \nThree-dimensional printmaking is completely different from and not to be confused with 3D printing\, which generally refers to extruded objects that are manufactured using automated digital printers in an industrial setting. The works in LIFT were conceived and produced by artists in a studio context and designed as art objects. A few of the featured artists are experienced printmakers\, while most are better known for their achievements in other media. Many rely on assistance from master printmakers\, who provide specialized equipment\, technical expertise\, and creative input. All of the artists in LIFT employ a variety of strategies—centuries-old as well as digital—in order to extend their work into the third dimension. \n  \nFour artists bend\, fold\, stitch\, or splice their works in order to give the original flat paper surface a sculptural profile. Sculptural printmaking pioneer Red Grooms conceives vibrant narrative lithographs that are printed in parts\, and then cut\, folded\, bent\, and assembled so that key features protrude into the viewer’s space. Hideki Kimura arranges small folded and cut inkjet print dioramas on transparent shelves that extend into space in order to interact with light and shadow\, yet without sacrificing the integrity of the single paper sheets from which they were created. Mixed media artist Lesley Dill cuts\, folds\, and stitches her printed imagery in enigmatic figurative works inspired by the symbolic and visual potential of language to express the human soul. A self portrait lithograph by Jane Hammond takes the form of a mummy case shaped into full relief using bent and folded paper panels whose gilded surface is adorned with a mixture of hieroglyphics and pictograms taken from the artist’s 276-part lexicon of symbols. \n  \nOther artists produce their sculptural works by screen-printing imagery onto non-traditional materials or by presenting it in non-traditional arrangements. Graciela Sacco creates one-of-a-kind prints by transferring appropriated photographic imagery onto various found objects using light-sensitive chemicals in ways that amplify her social commentary.  Dieter Roth\, credited with being the inventor of the artist’s book\, is represented by a stamp kit he designed so that audiences could participate in his in-depth investigation of the relationship between language and image. Andy Warhol-inspired prints by Enrique Chagoya are adhered to soup cans and slot machines to create playful points of entry into difficult issues such as political corruption and cultural imperialism. Jonathan Stanish combines his interests in ceramics and printmaking by applying geometric glaze patterns derived from traditional Native American art onto wet ceramic slabs that are then shaped by hand to resemble windblown textiles. Oscar Muñoz transfers portrait imagery onto paper fragments floating on water using charcoal dust in unique time-based works inspired by notions of vanity\, the passage of time\, and the fragility of life. In an interactive installation by Leslie Mutchler\, printmaking is a catalyst for a communal dialogue between artist and audience in which meaning is generated through the shared activity of assembling a sculptural print rather than by its material product. \n  \nAnother means of creating three-dimensional works is through the layering of multiple print elements. Marilène Oliver translates digital medical scans of her parents’ bodies into screen prints on acrylic sheets stacked in order to construct ghostly doppelgängers. Installation artist Olafur Eliasson presents an oversized book containing 908 laser-cut pages depicting a sequence of precise vertical sections of the entire interior space within an elaborate early twentieth-century house—in this case\, his childhood home in Copenhagen. Nicola López overlays a series of large monotypes and laser-cut mylar sheets to produce one-of-a-kind images that reveal the intricate inner workings of monumental structures derived from the contemporary industrial landscape. Robert Gober\, who frequently uses print media in his installations\, presents a photolithograph of himself disguised as a young bride in a newspaper advertisement atop a bundled stack of prints simulating used newspapers awaiting disposal. \n  \n________ \n  \nOrganized by the Knoxville Museum of Art. The KMA wishes to thank Beauvais Lyons\, Chancellors Professor\, School of Art\, UTK\, for his assistance with the exhibition. \n  \nPresenting sponsors: Emerson Process Management\, and the University of Tennessee Medical Center \n  \nAdditional financial support provided by the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville School of Art. \n  \nThis exhibition is funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (logo) \n Additional Resources:\nFulton High School LIFT project

SUMMARY:Contemporary Focus 2015
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Focus 2015                 \nJanuary 30-April 19\, 2015/Hall & Rogers Gallery \n  \nContemporary Focus is an exhibition series that supports and documents the development of contemporary art in East Tennessee. The series features the work of artists who are living and making art in this region\, and who are exploring issues relevant to the larger world of contemporary art. \n  \nThe three artists selected for this year’s installment have a common interest in creating works that examine the uncertain terrain between personal experience and external reality\, between abstraction and representation\, and between civilization and nature. Caroline Covington produces sculptural mixed media works that explore notions of displacement\, mortality\, and chance. Mira Gerard’s dense figure paintings integrate subject matter from her own video recordings and found imagery in ways that blur the boundaries between dream and reality. Karla Wozniak’s canvases depict an American landscape powerfully abstracted into a series of bold patterns\, rich textures\, and striking color schemes. \n  \n  \nCaroline Covington \n  \nCaroline Covington is a sculptor and installation artist living and working in Chattanooga. Her current research examines the rituals\, superstitions\, and rites of passage perpetuated within contemporary communities. The artist’s work exposes the anxieties and apprehensions felt towards myths of the past and uncertainties of the future\, specifically addressing Southern and Appalachian mysticism and folklore. Some of Covington’s installations feature components that are fully realized only through audience participation. \n  \nCovington earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture\, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History from the University of Georgia\, and a Master of Fine Arts from the Rinehart School of Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Her work has been exhibited in fine arts venues in the eastern U.S.\, and one of her works was performed in St. Petersburg\, Russia. She currently serves as assistant professor of sculpture at Chattanooga State Community College. \n  \n  \nMira Gerard \n  \nMira Gerard is Johnson City-based artist whose creative practice spans painting\, writing\, performance\, and video. She draws inspiration from literature\, film\, and mythology in which individuals experience meaningful encounters with the surrounding landscape. Her paintings often stem from photographic and film-based images\, in many cases her own staged photo shoots. Most feature enigmatic female figures within shadowy environments constructed out of dense accumulations of expressive brushwork. \n  \nGerard earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Indiana University and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Georgia.   Her work has been exhibited at Nave Gallery in Somerville\, Massachusetts\, the Huntsville Museum of Art in Huntsville\, Alabama; and the William King Museum in Abingdon\, Virginia.  Gerard is chair and associate professor in the department of Art & Design at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City\, where she teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in painting as well as interdisciplinary graduate seminars. \n  \n  \nKarla Wozniak \n  \nKarla Wozniak’s vibrant oil paintings and watercolors are loosely based on roadside landscapes the artist has observed in her travels throughout the Southeast. These locations serve as points of departure into abstracted compositions in which landscape imagery—banded hills\, clouded skies\, sprawling vegetation—is compressed into jagged surface patterns defined by bold\, colorful brushwork. Although her paintings often contain subtle references to commercial development\, seasons\, weather\, and time of day\, her larger interest is in the expressive use of intensified color\, pattern\, and texture. \n  \nWozniak earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Rhode Island School of Design and a Master of Fine Arts from the Yale School of Art. Her work has been exhibited at Gregory Lind Gallery in San Francisco\, and Rebecca Ibel Gallery in Columbus\, Ohio. She has also participated in group exhibitions at the Bronx Museum of Art in New York City and at Inman Gallery in Houston. Wozniak lives in Knoxville and currently serves as assistant professor at the School of Art\, University of Tennessee\, Knoxville.

SUMMARY:Sight and Feeling: Photographs by Ansel Adams
DESCRIPTION:Ansel Adams’ ability to create photographs with a remarkable range and subtly of tones is legendary. Yet for all his technical mastery\, Adams recognized that what made a compelling photograph was far more elusive. This exhibition of 23 Adams photographs from the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts’ collection emphasizes the role of the artist’s intuitive and emotional response to the landscape in the creation of his powerful and enduring photographs. Included in the KMA’s presentation of this exhibition will be three rare prints Adams made during his little-known 1948 visit to East Tennessee’s Smoky Mountains. Organized by the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts.\n©2011 The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust

SUMMARY:Contemporary Focus 2014
DESCRIPTION:The three artists selected for this year’s exhibition have a common interest in creating layered works dealing with memory\, identity and the surrounding environment—whether suburban\, rural\, synthetic\, or natural. Jean Hess produces dense\, intricate collages made up of fragments culled from eclectic sources such as topographical charts\, children’s writings\, and the natural landscape. In addition to her studio practice\, Hess is active as a freelance art writer and curator. Althea Murphy-Price is a printmaker and installation artist who uses hair—both human and artificial—rather than a drawn line as the basis for her elaborately textured compositions. Murphy-Price is an assistant professor of printmaking at the School of Art\, University of Tennessee. Jessica Wohl is a mixed media artist based in Sewanee whose sprawling installations\, obsessively detailed ink drawings\, and sewn portraits are largely inspired by contemporary suburban life. She currently lives in Sewanee\, Tennessee where she is an Assistant Professor of Art at The University of the South.

SUMMARY:Thornton Dial: Thoughts on Paper
DESCRIPTION:This pioneering exhibition will present an under-appreciated side to the work of Thornton Dial\, Sr. (b. 1928)\, an artist best known and celebrated for his large-scale\, multi-media assemblages dealing with a wide range of charged social and political themes. Since the early 1990s\, Dial has also produced a rich body of lyrical works on paper\, often engaged with themes of gender and human relationships. This exhibition focuses on the very earliest of those drawings\, a group of 50 sheets with Dial’s characteristic and broadly coherent iconography of women\, fish\, birds\, roosters\, and tigers\, rendered in a variety of media. Organized by the Ackland Art Museum\, University of North Carolina.

SUMMARY:Tradition Redefined: The Larry and Brenda Thompson Collection of African American Art
DESCRIPTION:The Thompsons have collected works by artists who have been labeled “emerging\,” “unknown\,” “outsider\,” “eccentric\,” “vernacular\,” “regional” and more. The result is a collection that redefines the landscape of American art\, offering a more in-depth\, inclusive understanding of African American artists and their aesthetic and social concerns. The Thompsons have not only identified and supported artists inside and outside of the canon\, but they have also cultivated meaningful relationships with a variety of artists and their families that have lasted decades. \nRepresented in this diverse selection of artists are Beauford and Joseph Delaney\, two of Knoxville’s most important artists. Born to a minister-father\, the Delaney brothers learned to draw on Sunday school cards at church and were given art lesson by distinguished local artist Lloyd Branson. The brothers left Knoxville in the mid 1920s to pursue their art careers in larger arenas\, but followed very different artistic paths. After studying in Boston\, Beauford (1901-1979) chose New York and later Paris as the ideal settings for his experiments with expressive abstraction. Joseph (19903-1986) headed for Chicago before settling in New York\, and remained devoted to urban realism. Tradition Redefined allows East Tennessee viewers familiar with the brothers’ work an opportunity to evaluate it within the broader context of African American art of the last century. \nTradition Redefined: The Larry and Brenda Thompson Collection of African American Art is organized by the David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora at the University of Maryland\, College Park. This exhibition is supported\, in part\, by a special fund from the Office of the President at the University of Maryland\, College Park\, and a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council. The works are owned by Georgia Museum of Art\, University of Georgia; The Larry D. and Brenda A. Thompson Collection of African American Art.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Focus 2012
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Focus is the KMA’s annual exhibition series designed to serve as a vital means of recognizing\, supporting and documenting the development of contemporary art in East Tennessee. Each year\, the exhibition series features the work of artists who are living and making art in this region\, and who are exploring issues relevant to the larger world of contemporary art. \nThe three artists selected for this year’s exhibition have a common interest in referencing the urban environment\, the boundaries along which nature and civilization intersect\, and the way in which ordinary images can serve as metaphors for complex realities. \nMark Bradley-Shoup \nBradley-Shoup produces intricately crafted paintings and works on paper based on his own manipulated photographs of urban environments. Prevalent themes in his work include “consumption and growth\,” “expansion and recession\,” and “the elegance of brutality.” \nBradley-Shoup is based in Chattanooga\, and teaches at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga and Chattanooga State Technical Community College. \nwww.markbradleyshoup.com \nJoshua Dudley Greer \nGreer creates color photographs whose enigmatic imagery is informed by the artist’s interest in film\, urban lore\, and the built environment’s relationship to the natural world. He was included in a recent Oxford American article on 100 emerging Southern artists to watch. \nGreer is based in Johnson City\, where he is a visiting assistant professor of photography at East Tennessee State University. \nwww.jdudleygreer.com \nAndrew Scott Ross \nRoss is a multi-media artist who fabricates elaborate sculptural installations made up of tiny\, hand-cut works on paper. His compositions resemble primordial landscapes populated by various human and animal characters. \nRoss is based in Johnson City\, and currently teaches drawing as a member of the art faculty at East Tennessee State University. \nandrewscottross.com/home.html

SUMMARY:Fischli and Weiss: The Way Things Go
DESCRIPTION:This renowned video by Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss earned a cult following since it premiered at international art festivals in 1987. The video documents the artists’ use fire and fireworks\, blasts of air\, gravity\, and a variety of corrosive liquids to sustain a chain reaction of materials and events for 30 minutes. The imagery touches on themes common in the duo’s work\, such as order and chaos\, humor\, transformation\, and illusion. In 2007\, the Tate Gallery\, London\, organized “Flowers and Questions\,” a major retrospective exhibition devoted to Fischli and Weiss’s creative achievements.

SUMMARY:Beverly Semmes: Starcraft
DESCRIPTION:Semmes\, A Brooklyn-based artist\, is known internationally for her unique multimedia installations. She works in contradictions\, challenging the conventional definitions of craft and “women’s work” by creating completely non-functional pieces out of traditional materials such as clay and fabric. Treading the line between fantasy and reality\, she evokes visions of fairy tales with her massively lush silk and velvet dresses\, pieces that evolved from costumes the artist designed for her photographic and video pieces. Semmes’ ceramic and crystal pots defy the time-honored symmetry and beauty expected in pottery and glass. Although irregular and distorted\, the crystal work poses a dazzling contrast to the lusciously colored\, but misshapen\, clay pots. Organized by the Hunter Museum of American Art\, Chattanooga.

SUMMARY:Streetwise: Masters of 60's Photography
DESCRIPTION:Streetwise builds on Swiss photographer Robert Frank’s ‘snapshot aesthetic’\, which gained attention following the release of his groundbreaking book\, The Americans in 1959. Frank’s interest in seemingly random\, ordinary subjects presented in cropped\, off-center compositions influenced an entire generation of photographers including featured artists Diane Arbus\, Lee Friedlander\, Jerry Berndt\, Ruth-Marion Baruch\, Garry Winogrand\, Bruce Davidson\, Danny Lyon\, and Ernest Withers. \n \nIntent on redefining the nation based on what they saw\, the photographers showcased in Streetwise were concerned with exposing a more realistic and challenging view of an America undergoing change. The underlying message was clearly that of a nation in flux and a defiant intent to capture the underground side of society. Many of the photographers featured in Streetwise spent time with their subjects and wanted their images to represent the view of a participant rather than an outside observer. \nThe exhibition includes a 10-minute video interview highlighting the significance\, influences\, cultural context and legacy of 1960s street photography. The video features images and interviews\, helping build connections to the pivotal impact these photographers had on shaping views of the nation then\, and now. \nStreetwise is organized by The Museum of Photographic Arts\, San Diego. KMA sponsor is Texas Instruments. KMA media sponsors include AT&T Real Yellow Pages\, Digital Media Graphix\, Kurt Zinser Design\, and WBIR.
