Revision
Exhibition:
November 18–February 3
Irvine Fine Arts Center Main Gallery + Gallery 2
Opening Reception:
November 18, 2–4 p.m.
Works featured in Revision exist as paintings, photographs, sculptures, site-specific installations, and hybrid forms that propose new uses for domestic objects, symbols of nostalgia, historical artifacts, and tools of perception. Bound by the spirit of exploration, works on view propose a reconsideration of “ordinariness” by reassembling found discarded personal items, playfully juxtaposing industrial and commonplace materials, and experimenting with visual language and meaning-making.
The exhibition is curated in collaboration with Durden and Ray, a cohort of artists and curators who work together to create opportunities for artists and are committed both to individual praxis and to shared aims of curatorial experimentation, visual research, and artistic exchange with international partners.
Exhibiting artists include Nadim Kurani, Hagop Najarian, Max Presneill, Stephanie Sherwood, John Sollom, Curtis Stage, and Surge Witrön.
Into the Garden
Exhibition:
November 18–February 3
Irvine Fine Arts Center Main Gallery + Gallery 2
Opening Reception:
November 18, 2–4 p.m.
Into the Garden couples works on fabric by Dani Dodge and sculptural works by Carolyn Mason in an environment that invites viewers to indulge in the act of looking and imagining.
The exhibition features Carolyn Mason's vivid sculptures comprised of expanding foam, wood, various metals, and felt. Transformed by the artists’ imaginative use of materials and drawing upon inspiration found in biological forms such as fungi, fauna, and reptiles, Mason’s works stand before viewers as radically new objects that evoke curiosity. Similarly evocative of a sense of wonder and discovery, Dani Dodge’s ceiling-hung fabric and ink installation reflects affirmative moments the artist has spent in the Southern California desert.
