Projections: A Survey of Wall Based Sculpture and Selections from the iNDA 2007
Opening Reception: Friday March 7, 6-9
(show runs March 7-April 4)
2727 Woodburn Ave, East Walnut Hills
I recently stumbled upon Manifest. It's a self-described "Creative Research Gallery and Learning Center." The art there is so cool and fresh that you won't notice how much you are actually learning. They challenge traditional boundaries and preconceived notions and inspire innovation.
Let's talk about this! by Shane Harris
The show Projections, opening this Friday (March 7), challenged artists to create 3-D sculptures that are in no way attached to the floor. It refutes the assumption that all sculpture is earth-bound and it forces us to redefine sculpture. All of the work is either projected from the wall or the ceiling. According to their web site, 130 artists from 33 states and 8 countries submitted 260 works and only 11 works by 9 artists were chosen. In other words, they got the best of the best.
Also opening on Friday is Selections from iNDA 2007. The International Drawing Annual is a part of Manifest's Drawing Center. The center's mission is to recognize and support drawing as an important and valuable form of expression. This show is important because drawing is oftentimes seen as the basis for other art forms but is not recognized as a necessary form of expression in and of itself.
