"Fem4"
"Fem4"
Opening Saturday, August 21st, and running through September 25th, Fem4 celebrates the art of four uniquely talented female artists. Recognizing that women have been historically under-represented within the art world (including exhibition opportunities), Core Contemporary has - from day one - actively worked to mitigate that imbalance through its programming. Fem4 does just thi, by honoring the art of Zoe Camper, Stormi Holt, Ailene Pasco, and Linda Shaffer. Working in diverse mediums and often tackling difficult themes, the collective visutal voices of Fem4 provide an insightful, humorous, andn sometimes caustic look into human nature, our frailties, our strengths, what possesses our obsessions, what drives our escapism, and how our ability to adapt has helped our species survive. From deeply-layered conceptual abstracts to intensely-detailed drawings, from playfully-snide fiber works to invitingly-rich oil paintings, Fem4 providdes a feast for the eyes and fodder for the mind.
Also honoring the supportive conversations of women, the exhibition is installed creatively to weave the visual voices of the four artists in and out of each other, rather than grouping or isolating them separately. Curator and gallerist Nanc Good chose this curatorial technique to demonstrate the language of art and assist the viewer in understanding that one work of art can be in "conversation" with another and that this "conversation" can change depending upon the physical placement of the art within an exhibition setting or one's private spaces.
Opening Reception on Saturday, August 21st, 1-3pm. Join us on FB for live feed. Artist talks will be scheduled during the run of the show.
