Use Other Door invited artists to submit contemporary work that represented their interpretation of what their “other door” might be. As the call description stated, this “other door” might be something as literal as choosing between two or more physical doors to gain access to something. Or, it could represent something intangible, such as a missed opportunity, conquering a fear, pursuing a dream or abandoning a goal.
“Use Other Door provides an opportunity for artists to approach their creative techniques and mediums in a way that maybe they haven't in the past,” said Nancy Good, professional artist, and owner of Core Contemporary. “As a co-juror and the creator of this annual show, I was pleased to see the varied submissions to this second incarnation from talented, self-taught beginners to established professional artists with MFAs.” Other jurors include artists Omayra Amador, BFA in Fine Arts from Parsons New School University, and known for her Milk the Bunny street art; Sapira Cheuk, MFA in Studio Art, California State University, San Bernardino and a fine artist working most frequently in large scale pen and sumi ink figures on paper; and Angelina Saldana, a recent BFA graduate from UNLV, whose most recent works study intricate graphic patterns.
Selected from 63 separate submissions, Use Other Door is a vibrant, dynamic and expressive exhibition featuring sculpture, photography, assemblage, painting, and mixed-media by artists from around the country. Participating artists: Carrie Bourdeau, Diane Bush, Zoe Camper, Nicole Cochener, Chris Fowler, Stormi Holt, Bindia Hallauer, Paula Jacoby-Garrett, Annie Lin, Havi Mandell, Jung Min, ShaRose Niedelman, Debra Reade, Chad Scott, Linda Shaffer, Bethany Thomas, Tom Umholtz, Claire Wentzel, Veronica Wong, and Shahab Zargari.
Suitable for all ages, Use Other Door is on display June 17th through August 15th, 2020, from 12-6p.m., Wednesdays through Saturdays. Core Contemporary Gallery is located at 900 E Karen Ave, Suite D-222, Las Vegas, NV 89109 and is free to attend.
