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

SUMMARY:David Bates: The Katrina Paintings
DESCRIPTION:Since the early 1980s\, internationally-acclaimed painter David Bates has chronicled the people and places all along America’s Gulf Coast. His Blacktip Shark (1989)\, a rugged\, monumental canvas that depicts heroic fishermen at work is one of the best-known and most visible paintings in the KMA’s collection. David Bates: Katrina Paintings boldly addresses one of the most severe and inexplicable tragedies in recent memory and its devastating aftermath. \nThis exhibition includes more than 40 works Bates produced in response to 2005’s Hurricane Katrina and the devastation it brought to the Gulf Coast. His iconic images capture in dramatic fashion destroyed property and displaced people\, as well as the emotional devastation in the wake of this event. Many of the paintings are monumental in scale\, including The Storm\, a triptych that measures 21 feet in width. In this series\, Bates’ paintings affirm both horror and life and serve as powerful reminders of the ability of art to represent the spectrum of human experience. \nThe Knoxville Museum of Art is the only venue in the eastern United States that will host this exhibition\, which is organized by the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art\, Kansas City\, Missouri. \nDavid Bates in conversation with curator Barbara O’Brien at the Kemper Museum Of Contemporary Art.\n \nCheck out more exhibit images here. \nAdditional Resources:\nDavid Bates: The Katrina Paintings

SUMMARY:Contemporary Focus 2010: Emily Ward Bevins\, Nick DeFord\, Evan Meaney
DESCRIPTION:The art we call “contemporary” represents the leading edge of where artists are working today. Contemporary art is experimental\, provocative\, exciting. It is an investigation into new ideas that change the way art is made. \nContemporary Focus 2010 is the second year of 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 we feature emerging artists who work in new and experimental ways. \nCheck out more exhibit images here. \n\nArtist Biography\n\nEmily Ward Bivens\nEmily Ward Bivens uses found and made objects to forge narratives\, provoke or encourage interaction\, and reveal fictional and non-fictional mysteries. These objects shift from prop to subject to evidence when used in performance\, video\, and installation. Characters or identities are created to act as subjects\, authors\, inventors\, and curators of the work. She received her BFA from Colorado State University and her MFA from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Bivens recent exhibitions include installations at Skulpturens Hus in Stockholm\, and The Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver. Emily Ward Bivens is an assistant professor of art at the University of Tennessee. \nNick DeFord\nA Knoxville native\, Nick DeFord earned his BFA in drawing from the University of Tennessee\, and an MFA in fibers from Arizona State University. His work explores the visual culture of geography and cartography using common household materials. Through maps\, globes\, travel guides\, pamphlets and charts\, DeFord disrupts commonly recognizable systems to examine our relationship to identity and place\, the known and the unknown. DeFord has exhibited work nationally\, most recently at Fluorescent Gallery in Knoxville\, the Arizona Biennial at the Tucson Museum of Art\, and Whittier College in California. Nick DeFord currently teaches drawing at the University of Tennessee. \nEvan Meaney\nEvan Meaney has been working with film\, video\, and emerging media for over a decade. Educated at Ithaca College and the University of Iowa\, his interests have grown to include deconstructive sequencing\, ghost stories\, breakdancing\, and the poetry of hexadecimal code. Meaney has been an Iowa Arts Fellow\, a James B. Pendleton Grant recipient\, and an artist in residence at the Experimental Television Center. He has held directorships of the Bijou Theater in Iowa City\, the Iowa City International Documentary Film Festival\, ICE Fest\, and the Couch Physics Microcinema. A recent addition to the Knoxville community\, Evan Meaney has joined the faculty at the University of Tennessee where he will serve as an assistant professor of time-based media. \n  \nAdditional Resources:\nNick DeFord talks about his art \nEmily Ward Bivens talks about her art

SUMMARY:Jane South: Shifting Structures
DESCRIPTION:Shifting Structures is a site-specific project conceived by Brooklyn-based artist Jane South\, who has become known internationally for her elaborate sculptural drawings. Using little more than a scalpel and colored inks\, she transforms fragile folded paper into structures that appear industrially reinforced. \nThe exhibition consists of a single\, monumental work made up of hundreds of individual drawing components that are re-configured according to the specifics of the KMA’s gallery. South is interested in responding to the unique architectural features of the space as a challenge to construct the work in unexpected ways. In two previous locations\, the work assumed a shadowy\, solid form\, and in another location it appeared bright and open\, and even allowed viewers to wander inside. Each is made up of a complex network of sculptural drawings resembling cages\, boxed grids\, latticed arches\, and horizontal ladders—some suspended from tiny paper hooks. All her surfaces are defined in some way with colored marks\, outlines and crosshatchings. During the latter stages of the installation\, museum audiences will be able to watch South assemble her monumental drawing in the gallery. \n

SUMMARY:Vision\, Language\, and Influence: Photographs of the South
DESCRIPTION:Vision\, Language\, and Influence brings together for the first time the work of three photographers of the American South over a 50-year period. \nWalker Evans (1903-1975) is represented by incisive images of Alabama sharecroppers stemming from his epic collaboration with James Agee on Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Eudora Welty (1909-2001) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning Southern writer and photographer who traveled across Mississippi in the 1930s and early 1940s taking photographs and documenting rural and small-town life in her home state. Baldwin Lee (born 1951) is a professor of photography at the University of Tennessee\, and a former assistant to Walker Evans. Complementing the 50 or so works by Evans and Welty are more than 30 of Lee’s images of African-American life in the South taken during the 1980s with the support of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. \nVision\, Language\, and Influence was organized by the Knoxville Museum of Art in collaboration with Baldwin Lee. \nCheck out more exhibit images here.

SUMMARY:Uncertain Terrain: Selections from the KMA Collection
DESCRIPTION:Uncertain Terrain features a broad selection of works—paintings\, photographs\, drawings and video—by artists whose chief inspiration stems from the surrounding landscape\, whether rural or urban\, perceived or imagined.

SUMMARY:BLOOM: Brown + Scofield
DESCRIPTION:Knoxville-based artists Jason S. Brown and Elizabeth Scofield have designed and fabricated an outdoor sculpture installation in the KMA’s North Garden that combines botanical forms created with synthetic nylon fabric.  \nBLOOM includes 16-foot tall giant blades of nylon grass\, large-scale synthetic flowers\, and odd plant-like shapes inspired by nature. The installation combines the order and geometry of a flower garden with the organic and shifting nature of a field exposed to the changing elements. \nJason S. Brown is Associate Professor of Sculpture at the University of Tennessee’s School of Art. He and partner Elizabeth Scofield have been exploring public art projects and environmental issues as exhibiting artists for two decades. \nCheck out more exhibit images here.

SUMMARY:Anne Wilson: Wind/Rewind/Weave
DESCRIPTION:Wilson’s practice extends the relational in terms of labor\, collaboration\, and identity construction\, blending pedagogy with aesthetic production. Her work has been exhibited extensively including exhibitions at the Victoria & Albert Museum\, London; the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa\, Japan; the Contemporary Arts Museum\, Houston; the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago; and as part of the 2002 Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art. \nAnne Wilson: Wind/Rewind/Weave is an exhibition organized by the Knoxville Museum of Art\, installed by Wilson to investigate the crisis of production and skill based textile labor. Included is Rewinds\, a new work created entirely in glass; video documentation of Wind-Up: Walking the Warp\, a 2008 performance in Chicago; and a large site-specific project\, Local Industry\, that takes the form of an active weaving/winding factory set up in the museum space. Run over the course of several months\, this project will involve the Knoxville community in the collaborative production of a unique bolt of cloth. \nFor more photos of weavers around the world\, click here. \nFor more photo’s of women’s woven\, textiles click here. \nFor more photo’s of Anne Wilson’s process\, click here. \n  \nView Exhibit Website \nAdditional Resources:\nAnne Wilson Lecture \nExhibition Research:\nAnne Wilson and studio interns research utilizing libraries\, the Internet\, studio practices\, interviews\, and conversations. Kimberly Pence is the research lead. This is an in-process compilation of information\, never intended to be comprehensive. \nBibliography:\nExperienced weavers from Knoxville and surrounding states\, as well as a “Chicago to Knoxville” group of weavers\, are invited to take turns weaving a continuous bolt of weft-faced\, selvedge-to-selvedge\, striped cloth. Once one weaver has completed a passage of stripes\, the next weaver responds to that passage and continues weaving. Proceeding this way\, although abstract\, relates to the Surrealist exercise of “exquisite corpse” drawing. The completed cloth bolt will be given to the KMA collection with an archive of all who participated. \nWoven Stripes + Bands:\nThis log presents a diversity of woven textiles showing warp stripes and weft bands from various countries and time periods. Libby O’Bryan was the primary researcher of images. Emily Nachison added material\, color corrected\, and formatted the images with text. Olivia Valentine worked from this image bank to create the flat screen display in the exhibition. \nHow to Weave:

SUMMARY:Threads of Perception: Devorah Sperber
DESCRIPTION:Using ordinary spools of thread\, Sperber creates pixilated\, inverted images of masterpieces\, which appear as colorful abstractions to the naked eye. When viewed with optical devices\, however\, the works becomes immediately recognizable as the famous paintings. \nThe thread spools works are hung upside down in reference to the fact that the lens of the eye projects an inverted image of the world onto the retina\, which is corrected by the brain. A clear acrylic sphere\, positioned in front of each work\, functions like the human eye and brain\, not only inverting but also focusing the image so that it appears as a sharp\, faithful\, right-side-up reproduction of the famous painting. \nThe concept was based on the technology of print making and how mechanical reproductions alter images and the scale of artworks as they exist in “the mind’s eye.” Sperber selected The Last Supper and Mona Lisa because they are two of the most recognizable and reproduced images in the history of art. \nCheck out Devorah Sperber’s website here. \nFor more exhibition images click here. \nInterested in the links between art\, science\, and technology through the ages\, New York artist Devorah Sperber deconstructs familiar images to address the way the brain processes visual information versus the way we think we see. “As a visual artist\,” she says\, “I cannot think of a topic more stimulating and yet so basic than the act of seeing—how the human brain makes sense of the visual world.” \n  \nAdditional Resources:\nDevorah Sperber: Threads of Perception  \nDevorah Sperber Lecture

SUMMARY:Anton Vidokle: Exhibition as School
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents several projects Vidokle has produced over the last decade: publications from e-flux\, an NYC based artist resource and art video distribution center founded in 1999; the model of unitednationsplaza\, a free year-long school based in Berlin initiated by the artist in 2006; a station of texts and lectures from seminars at Night School \, an artist commission in the form of a temporary school at the New Museum in New York City (January 2008- February 2009); New York Conversations \, a feature film shot by the artist in 2008 with Nico Dockx \, Rirkrit Tiravanija\, and A Prior Magazine; and a comprehensive archive of over one hundred lectures\, talks\, and seminars organized by Vidokle throughout the past three years in Berlin\, Mexico City and New York. \nAnton Vidokle was born in Moscow and arrived in the United States in 1981. He is currently based in New York and Berlin. Vidokle operates these projects with a large group of collaborators\, including Julieta Aranda\, Boris Groys\, Liam Gillick\, Martha Rosler\, Walid Raad\, Nikolaus Hirsch\, Brian Kuan Wood\, Natascha Sadr Haghighian\, Hila Peleg\, Rirkrit Tiravanija\, and Jan Verwoert. \nThis exhibition is presented in collaboration with A.S.A.P. – The Association for the Study of the Arts of the Present. \n  \nAnton Vidokle is one of many artists who recognize the educational potential of art\, but his productions usually do not manifest themselves in the form of traditional art objects. In the place of sculpture or painting\, Vidokle creates work in the shape of social forms familiar to us – such as libraries\, schools\, and public conversations.
