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.

SUMMARY:Horizons
DESCRIPTION:Horizons is an installation by noted Icelandic artist Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir (pronounced Stay-nun Thorens-daughter). The exhibition includes 12 androgynous\, life-sized iron figures in the KMA’s South Garden. Each is unique in pose and expression\, and has a polished glass band inserted in its torso. The artist explains this juxtaposition of glass and iron\, “The color of the iron signifies their primal quality—as if they are emerging from the earth” while “Glass as a material has a lot of different connotations. It can be fragile\, yet dangerous. It can be translucent\, or solid . . . It’s like water\, but also like air.” \nThorarinsdottir has exhibited widely in Europe\, Japan\, and Australia over the last 30 years\, as well as in the United States\, where Horizons has been traveling for the past three years. The installation is featured in the documentary Horizons by independent filmmaker Frank Cantor\, which won the CINE Special Jury Award in Washington as the best documentary of 2008. Thórarinsdóttir’s work is held by collectors worldwide\, and she has been commissioned by both the Icelandic and English governments for major sculptural installations. She has received numerous awards including the Order of the Falcon by the President of Iceland in 2009.

SUMMARY:Liquid Light: Watercolors from the KMA Collection
DESCRIPTION:Artists in this Exhibition:\nThomas Campbell (1834-1914)\nPainting was a second career for Thomas Campbell\, who immigrated to the United States at age 19\, and was ordained as a minister in 1866. He and his family moved to East Tennessee in hopes a climate change would improve the health of his wife\, Susan\, but she died in 1892. At that point\, Campbell\, retired from the ministry and turned art\, which had been his hobby\, into his job. He founded the art department at Maryville College in 1902 and headed it until his death. His paintings were exhibited regionally and won several prizes and medals. He was also active in the Nicholson Art League\, and was a talented wood carver who produced picture frames and small pieces of furniture. \nCharles Krutch (1849-1934)\nCharles Christian Krutch is regarded as one of East Tennessee’s first painters to specialize in scenes of the Smoky Mountains. He earned the nickname “Corot of the South” for his soft\, atmospheric watercolor and oil landscape paintings of the mountain range. Totally untrained as an artist\, he often applied thick layers of oil paint with brushes as well as his fingers. Krutch’s goal was to capture the changing “moods” of the mountains and regarded his subjects as “just like people.” He won a regional award for best watercolor at the 1913 National Conservation Exposition in Knoxville. However\, it was not until 1933\, a year before his death\, that the 84 year-old artist received recognition outside Knoxville for his idyllic mountain landscape murals commissioned by the federal government as part of the Public Works Art Project. \nGeorge Galloway (unknown)\nUnknown. \nWalter Stevens (1927-1980)\nStevens used nature’s forms as a point of entry into complex abstract compositions. He and fellow artist Carl Sublett often worked together in the summer along the Maine coastline. Along with Sublett and C. Kermit “Buck” Ewing\, he was one of the first faculty members of the University of Tennessee’s art department. He was also a core member of the Knoxville Seven\, a group of forward-looking artists active between 1959 and 1965 who were among the first in East Tennessee to experiment with abstract expressionism. The KMA presented a large exhibition of his watercolors in 1992. \nCarl Sublett (1919-2008)\nSublett was one of East Tennessee’s most prolific and versatile artists. The Kentucky native came to Knoxville in 1954 and soon became an influential painting instructor at the University of Tennessee. He found endless inspiration in the Maine coastline\, East Tennessee countryside and many other outdoor painting locations. Sublett shifted effortlessly from abstraction to precise realism throughout his long career and by the 1970s turned to watercolor as his primary medium. \nRichard Clarke (1923-1997)\nClarke was one of the early members of the University of Tennessee’s art faculty. He found inspiration for his watercolor abstractions in the natural world around him. Here\, the artist applies drops of water onto his composition to enhance the depiction of a coastal storm. \nWhitney Leland (1945- )\nLeland has achieved a national reputation for his vibrant organic abstractions in oil and in watercolor. For more than four decades\, he has explored the process of painting with great discipline by restricting his imagery to a limited set of variables— tangled\, symmetrically arranged bands of color. Leland is recently retired from the University of Tennessee’s painting faculty\, and is one of the earliest graduates of the UT’s art program. \nJared Sprecher (1979- )\nSprecher\, who teaches painting at the University of Tennessee’s School of Art\, approaches his medium in ways that challenge traditional notions of the painting process and pictorial space. His inventive compositions present unlikely combinations of images borrowed from high and low sources\, whether motifs from famous paintings\, architectural blueprints\, or graffiti scrawls on a wall near his studio. Their original meaning and associations are often subdued\, altered or lost in favor of their new role as formal devices. Sprecher is also interested in the expressive possibilities inherent in certain types of papers\, and in some cases elects to paint on found stationery or graph paper. \nAlice Baber (1928-1982)\nBaber is known for her vibrant abstract watercolors in which she creates pools of brilliant color and allows them to interact as they dry. Her works were inspired by Native American mythology\, and the sun-drenched landscape surrounding her Florida home. \nLloyd Branson (1853-1925)\nEnoch Lloyd Branson was one of the most talented and versatile East Tennessee artists of his era. He was the first artist from the region to receive art training in Paris. Upon the artist’s return in 1878\, he established a successful portrait business with photographer Frank McCrary at 130 Gay Street in downtown Knoxville. While portrait painting was his primary source of income\, he produced many small oils and watercolors of the East Tennessee countryside. In addition to his studio work\, Branson was active as an art teacher\, training and inspiring a new generation of local talent including Catherine Wiley and brothers Joseph and Beauford Delaney. \nFrederick Bronsen (1954- )\nBrosen’s precise watercolors describe in great detail historic architectural settings and panoramic vistas from around the world. Sketching on paper on-site\, the artist paints small studies which he later uses to create larger watercolors in the studio. \nCharles Ephraim Burchfield (1893-1967)\nBurchfield is one of America’s most important early 20th century painters. He possessed a keen interest in observing the natural world\, and developed a unique style he used to convey the richness of the landscape around him\, even its sounds. Notice how in this work he adds chalk onto the watercolor pigments to suggest snowfall\, and attaches additional sections of watercolor paper to extend the original scene. \nJohn W. Chumley (1929-1984)\nChumley\, who grew up in Knoxville\, specialized in rustic watercolor scenes of the Shenandoah Valley painted with great attention to surface detail. He received national recognition at his first New York exhibition in 1962\, including notice from a Time Magazine art critic\, who complemented Chumley for his “Lyric brush”. \nAdolf Arthur Dehn (1895-1968)\nAfter focusing on experimental approaches to printmaking early in his career\, Dehn discovered a passion for watercolor\, and turned his attention to producing detailed scenes of everyday life. In the year this work was created he was spending time at the artist colony in Woodstock\, New York\, and also producing images for the U.S. Navy’s war effort. \nThorton Dial (1928- )\nDial\, of Bessemer\, Alabama\, is the most famous vernacular artist from the Southeast. His art is prized for its originality\, emotional impact\, and symbolic reflection on the African American experience in the South from the Jim Crow years through the civil-rights movement\, and into the present. Although Dial is well known for his large found object sculptures\, during the last two decades watercolor painting has become his primary artistic outlet. His distinctive method involves applying loose washes of watercolor pigment over symbolic human and animal figures outlined in pencil. \nCharles Kermit Ewing (1910-1976)\n“Buck” Ewing was a painter\, teacher\, printmaker\, and leading figure in Knoxville’s art scene from the late 1940s to the time of his death. In the center of this landscape scene the artist scratches into the paper surface to create highlights\, and to allow the paint to accumulate in dark channels. \nJanet Fish (1938- )\nFish is an internationally-recognized painter whose vibrant domestic scenes\, still lifes\, and landscapes examine the manner in which light plays off of surfaces and penetrates the interior structure of various everyday objects. \nDot Galloway (unknown)\nUnknown. \nCharles Rogers Grooms (1937- )\nA Nashville native\, Grooms is a multi-media artist known for his inventive\, playful works on topics ranging from big-city life to art history. Hot Dog Vendor No. 3 represents one of the artist’s many experiments with bringing sculptural effects to typically two- dimensional media such as painting and printmaking. \nRuthie Windsor (1948- )\nMann is a Knoxville native who specializes in watercolors of architectural subject. \nRobert A. Nelson (1925- )\nNelson has enjoyed a national reputation for his eccentric\, surreal figures drawn with great detail\, vivid imagination\, and dry wit. Here\, he applies watercolor and gouache in small strokes to define anatomical details as if revealed from within. \nLallah Miles Perry (1926- )\nUnknown. \nAnne S. Powers (unknown)\nPowers is an East Tennessee native and long-time member of the art faculty at Roane State Community College in Harriman. Although much of Powers’ early career was devoted to watercolor\, by the late 1970s she shifted her energies to computer graphics and design\, and then to small-scale mixed media work \nWilliam Saroyan (1908-1981)\nSaroyan specialized in abstract watercolor compositions that represent his emotional response to certain locations\, in this case his hometown of Fresno\, California. Applying watercolor in bold gestures resembling cryptic calligraphy\, the artist often used his paintings to capture memories of earlier visits. Saroyan was better known as the Pulitzer- and Oscar-winning novelist and playwright for The Time of Your Life and Human Comedy. \nHubert Shuptrine (1936-2006)\nShuptrine\, of Chattanooga\, was well-known for his rustic subjects rendered in tiny\, precise strokes in the tradition of Andrew Wyeth. \nLee Walton (1974- )\nWalton is a California-born artist and former college baseball player whose mixed media drawings initially appear to be based on abstract compositional theories. However\, they are actually coded translations of professional sporting events. Before each game\, Walton creates a specific color-coded mark for every possible event or outcome. As action on the field unfolds\, he makes marks on sections of paper in sequence so that the flow of the game dictates the final composition. These sections of paper are later arranged in rows to create a single drawing. In this way\, Walton’s approach represents an unexpected union of sports\, chance\, time\, performance\, and an artistic process free of conscious control. \nAnton Weiss (1936- )\nWeiss grew up in the former Yugoslavia and Austria and at an early age was inspired to become an artist after watching a documentary on Michelangelo. Much of his youth was spent fleeing the Nazis and struggling for survival in concentration camps before escaping to the United States in 1951. He and his family settled in Springfield\, Tennessee. He studied with Hans Hofmann\, a renowned abstract expressionist\, and applied much of what he learned in developing his own approach to abstraction and color theory. Weiss is a founding member of the Tennessee Watercolor Society\, and continues to paint at his home in Leiper’s Creek\, Tennessee. \nBetsy Worden (1935-2006)\nWorden was a prominent Knoxville artist\, teacher\, and patron of the arts who is perhaps best known for her achievements in watercolor and printmaking. This painting stems from her interest in Knoxville’s early architecture—specifically her desire to preserve a visual record of historic homes in the Summit Hill area prior to their demolition to make way for Summit Hill Drive. As Worden explained\, this work “provides a fleeting glance of an earlier time and a vision of things to come.” \nMore Information:\nLiquid Light Resource Guide \nLiquid Light Additional Information

SUMMARY:FAX
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition includes faxes by nearly 100 artists sent to the initial showing of FAX at The Drawing Center\, NY\, along with seminal examples of early telecommunications art. The KMA is inviting additional artists to submit works through a working fax line in the gallery throughout the duration of the exhibition. All of the transmitted pages will be archived or displayed together with the active fax machine\, which may produce new faxes from invited artists at any moment. The result- an ongoing cumulative project – is a show concerned with ideas of reproduction\, obsolescence\, distribution\, and mediation.  \nFAX is a traveling exhibition co-organized by The Drawing Center\, New York\, and Independent Curators International (ICI)\, New York\, and circulated by ICI. The guest curator is João Ribas. The exhibition and the accompanying catalogue were made possible\, in part\, by members of the Drawing Room\, a patron circle founded to support innovative exhibitions in The Drawing Center’s project gallery; and by support to ICI from The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation\, and ICI Benefactor members Agnes Gund\, Gerrit and Sydie Lansing\, and Barbara and John Robinson.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Focus 2011 John Bissonette\, Brian Jobe\, and Greg Pond
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Focus is an annual KMA series that serves as a vital means of recognizing\, supporting\, and documenting the development of contemporary art in East Tennessee. Each year the series presents emerging artists who work in new and experimental ways. \nContemporary Focus 2011 features three artists who work through different methods but share an aesthetic concern exploring concepts of space in innovative ways. John Bissonette uses traditional materials such as paint and canvas to produce colorful scenes of urban decay. His images reference banners or flags from abandoned storefronts and display windows once used to attract the attention of passersby\, but now exist as mute abstract shapes. Brian Jobe transforms three-dimensional objects using brightly colored zip-ties. The thousands of ties extend otherwise ordinary objects into new\, imposing forms. Greg Pond works with computer technology to program interactive\, responsive sculptures\, often using sound as a primary medium. His structures act as generative bases for tracking\, manipulating\, and projecting sounds made by audience members as they move through the exhibition space. \nPresenting sponsors for Contemporary Focus are Jennifer and Greg Dunn with additional support from the MacLean Foundation. \n

SUMMARY:Kwang-Young Chun Aggregations\, New Work
DESCRIPTION:Korean artist Kwang-Young Chun began work on his series of Aggregations in the 1990s. Today\, he is recognized internationally for these sculptural forms. \nThe basis of Kwang-Young Chun’s work is individual\, triangular\, Styrofoam shapes. Individually\, these shapes are minuscule. Taken together\, however\, their visual impact is immense. This concept of the aggregate is what informs Chun’s work. \nThe Styrofoam shapes are covered in Korean mulberry paper. In Korea\, the paper is a mainstay and has many utilitarian uses from floor and window coverings to candy and medicinal wrappers. It also resonates with personal meaning for the artist\, who recalls trips to an herbalist as a small child. Medicines wrapped in mulberry paper hung from the ceiling of the shop\, the paper protecting the contents from dampness and insects. \nChun uses pages recycled from old books to cover the geometric forms. These pages are covered in Korean and Chinese characters\, adding another layer of cultural and personal meaning. He hand ties the paper over each shape\, twisting pages into string to complete the wrapping. In this way Chun is able to integrate traditional materials into a contemporary context. Curated by Susan Moldenhauer. Funded in part by the national Advisory Board of the UW Art Museum and the Wyoming Arts Council through the National Endowment for the Arts and the Wyoming State Legislature. \n  \nArtist Biography\n\nKwang-Young Chun (1944 – )\nAfter starting his artistic career studying western painting\, in particular Abstract Expressionism\, Chun turned to the mulberry paper as a way to express his unique\, Korean artistic voice. The papers\, taken from books that are often as old as one hundred years\, have been touched by people from all walks of life. Over the years\, these people – men and women\, young and old – have left indelible fingerprints. Chun captures the spirit of these people and their varied voices in his series of Aggregations.

SUMMARY:Ai Weiwei Dropping the Urn (Ceramic Works\, 5000 BCE – 2010 CE)
DESCRIPTION:Ai Weiwei: Dropping the Urn (Ceramic Works\, 5000 BCE – 2010 CE) is the first solo exhibition of works by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei to be presented outside of New York City in the United States. \nOrganized by Arcadia University Art Gallery\, Ai Weiwei: Dropping the Urn features a selection of ceramic works and photographs ranging from 1993 to the present. In these works\, Ai Weiwei transforms ancient ceramic objects\, including 7000-year old Neolithic urns and Han dynasty vessels\, by painting them with a “Coca-Cola” logo\, dipping them into vats of industrial paint\, smashing them on the ground\, or grinding them into powder. \nThe largest piece in the exhibition appears to be a large pile of tiny sunflower seeds\, a common street snack in China. Each seed\, produced to scale\, was painstakingly hand-crafted from porcelain. Weighing precisely one ton\, the porcelain seeds were created by a team of workers in the town of Jingdezhen\, China where porcelain has been produced for the past 1700 years. \nAi Weiwei: Dropping the Urn has been organized by Arcadia University Art Gallery and supported by the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Exhibitions Initiative. Curated by Richard Torchia & Gregg Moore. \nCheck out more exhibit images here.

SUMMARY:Anne Wilson: Local Industry
DESCRIPTION:This is the first public exhibition of the Local Industry Cloth\, produced in 2010 by 2\,100 volunteers alongside 79 experienced weavers at the Knoxville Museum of Art. The cloth\, 75’ 9” long\, was created over the course of three months during the artist’s project Local Industry\, part of the exhibition Anne Wilson: Wind/Rewind/Weave. \nThe Local Industry Cloth was formed entirely from donated fibers\, often from mills facing closure throughout the southeastern United States. The thread was prepared on hand-crank bobbin winders by any visitor to the KMA. Wound bobbins were then used by experienced weavers to compose this single bolt of cloth\, made up of only stripes\, on one loom setup inside the gallery space. After making\, the cloth was donated to the Knoxville Museum of Art by the artist alongside an “Archive of Production” identifying all contributors to Local Industry. The “Archive of Production” is on view alongside the cloth during this exhibition. \nAnne Wilson: Wind/Rewind/Weave was a project organized by the Knoxville Museum of Art and visual artist Anne Wilson to investigate the global crisis of production and skill based textile labor. The catalog Anne Wilson: Wind/Rewind/Weave with essays by Glenn Adamson\, Jenni Sorkin\, Julia Bryan-Wilson\, Laura Y. Liu\, and Philis Alvic is available for purchase in the museum gift shop\, and is now available through distribution by WhiteWalls and the University of Chicago Press. \nCheck out more exhibit images here.

SUMMARY:Peter Sarkisian: Video Works\, 1996 – 2008
DESCRIPTION:For fifteen years\, Peter Sarkisian has explored the parameters of video installation\, always relating themediated experience of video to our actual tactile experience of the world\, working in an area between cinema and sculpture. \nThis new body of work constitutes a break-through for Sarkisian\, in that he has invented a new hybrid of video-object using three-dimensional vacuum formed thermal plastic screens. This technology gives the illusion of video in three dimensions\, thus enabling the artist to render his metaphors and narratives ever more palpable. \nAdditional Resources:\nPeter Sarkisian: Video Art\, 1996 – 2008 \nPeter Sarkisian at Austin East High School
