Rebecca Campbell ’94
L.A. Louver is pleased to present new work by
Rebecca Campbell, in an exhibition entitled Poltergeist. Best-known for her bold, representational paintings, in Poltergeist, Campbell expands her visual vocabulary to include
sculpture and video, which she presents in an immersive installation setting.

The exhibition captures a sense of nostalgia, about which Campbell says, “In exploring aspects of childhood, memory, and nostalgia I hope to address nostalgia’s disruptive effects on linear time and to propose that this phenomenon might be considered under the rubric of an archetypically feminine sublime, as an underestimated strategy for finding meaning in the face of loss and death. For example when a person is having an acute experience of nostalgia, time collapses and the past, the present and the future become one. A nostalgic moment for me might be triggered by a memory of walking through the forest behind my house when I was five but that memory then triggers others, dancing to Boys Don’t Cry while drinking black label beer at the Liberty Park, cutting lavender for the dinner table yesterday afternoon and ultimately a sense of the loss of experiences I have yet to have. Time becomes nonlinear and it’s both sad and sweet at the same time. Nostalgia somehow enables us to sing along to the tune of our own deaths.”

The exhibition runs from February 26 through March 28. Reception for the artist – Thursday, February 26, 7 – 9 p.m. For more information, view the online press release and the L.A. Louver website.

PNCA Alumni at the 9th Northwest Biennial at the Tacoma Art Museum

Linda Hutchins ’88
Linda Hutchins won the Juror’s Prize at the Tacoma Art Museum’s 9th Northwest Biennial, January 31 – May 25, 2009. Alison de Lima Greene, curator of Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, TX joined Tacoma Art Museum curator, Rock Hushka, to select the 24 artists exhibiting. Jen Graves, of The Stranger, a Seattle weekly newspaper previewed the exhibition and gave this mention, “Linda Hutchins, whose mesmerizing waves are drawn directly on the wall with her grandmother’s silver spoon”. By drawing a line on a sheet of paper or a wall and then drawing another and another, “nuances accumulate to create images reminiscent of natural formations in land, water, clouds or hair. The images record a meditative practice involving the arc of the arm, the gesture of the hand, and the path of the gaze.” (excerpted from the artist’s statement)

Remedios Rapoport ’89
Remedios Rapoport will be exhibiting two paintings, “Miss Moon” and “Moon Maiden” in Landscapes/Dreamscapes at the JayKay Gallery in Carrouge, Switzerland (a suburb of Geneva).

An artists’ reception will be held at the gallery on Thursday, March 5th from 6 – 8 p.m. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11-6 p.m. Chris Wright is a painter exploring everyday life. “My work is an example of realism that is based from direct observation of everyday objects that represent some aspect of our contemporary culture,” states the artist. Chris Wright’s oil on linen compositions, inspired by the consumer-based American culture, depict rows of milk jugs standing side by side, stacks of empty cartons, and a lonely popcorn maker on a stove top. Wright takes these simple objects and composes them to recall the delicately depicted compositions of the Baroque period.

To learn more about the exhibition or to see images of Wright’s paintings, visit “www.georgebillis.com”: http://www.georgebillis.com/gallery.html.

Chris will also have a painting in the forthcoming Paintpresent show at the Lexington Art League in Lexington Kentucky from March 27th to April 26th. Information about the exhibitions and the Lexington Art League can be found at www.lexingtonartleague.org

Chris Hagerty uses his work as a meditation of how Americans define themselves by what they build and how they interact with their environment. His interest in landscape as a place where things happen communally to the people passing through the space evolved into a series of paintings focusing on shopping mall interiors and images of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hagerty collects photographs of the shopping malls and rebuilds the architecture with digital models, allowing him to appropriate the spaces of commercialism for interaction with images of American foreign policy.

Chris lives and works in New York City along with his wife Rosanne Bergeron ’99. His work can be found online at www.chrishagerty.com.

Eliza Fernand ’06
billow / ripple, an exhibition of new work by Eliza Fernand will open at Fort Gallery in Oakland, CA on March 6 and runs through March 29.

In Fort Gallery’s first solo exhibition, Eliza Fernand fills each room with site-specific installations of her craft infused abstractions.
With recycled material from clothing, bedding and linens, she has set out to fabricate the ephemeral and mystical formations that occur in the natural world. These installations are crafted with familiar
materials and familiar forms, but the scenes are fantasy. Crocheted stalagmites and flowery fabric boulders, a cabinet of curiosities with geodes and shells handmade from clay; each room in the gallery sets a mottled scene of contradictions—composed and organic, material and immaterial, intimate and encompassing. These qualities are played out figuratively and literally throughout the show, as Fernand is investigating atmospheric elements where the only constant is transformation.

There will be an opening reception at the gallery on March 6 from 6-9pm with live music by Beatbeat Whisper, The Blank Tapes, Paleo, and Moot.

Julie Orser ’99
Julie Orser will be exhibiting a new video, Blood Work, at The Company in Los Angeles (946 Yale Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012). The exhibition opens on February 7 and runs through March 7.

Blood Work is an abstract meditation on the desire for “blood,” real or imagined, within the horror film genre. The video playfully narrows the mise-en-scène of the horror genre through the absence of the body, or victim, and the exaggeration of sound and editing. Blood Work isolates props in the studio and creates a visceral corporeal presence through the animation of fake blood. Visually, the video alternates between shots of a messy stagehand that helps the video’s main character, “blood,” splash, drip and ooze. Working within the conventions and clichés of the genre, the video and soundtrack combine to question off-screen space and the mechanization of illusion.
