BLACK.WHITE.REaD Guest curator Cecilia
Rossey Dadian Gallery, Washington DC, traveled to Mary Davis Holt Gallery, Salem College, Winston Salem, North Carolina 2012-2013 Salem College exhibition probes increasingly changing culture Tom Patterson/Special Correspondent Winston Salem Journal The group show of prints and other works that opened early this month at Salem College casts a broad, thematic net. It deals with emotional and aesthetic extremes, the rise and fall of cultures and the difficulty of processing “devastating news,” according to guest curator Cecilia Rossey. The exhibition “probes our increasingly complex society...,” she writes in a brief curatorial statement. The sprawling assortment of themes is reflected in the varied styles and mediums represented, as well as in its unwieldy title. Although several pieces attempt to update abstract expressionism and geometric abstraction, the exhibition is dominated by figurative works. Some of them overtly reference current social and political issues, while others are grounded in personal narratives and philosophical metaphors. David Reed emphasizes the militarization of the Middle East in two collage-based digital prints from his “Blank Map” series. The maps depicted are blank only in the sense that they’re unlabeled. Otherwise, they serve as grounds for appropriated photos and drawings of armed soldiers, photojournalists, cameras, camels and oil derricks, among other imagery, as well as lines suggesting roads and shapes indicating unidentified landmarks. Alexandra Sherman creates a satirical emblem of domestic life and marital relations in her delicately rendered drawing of a voluptuous, nude woman struggling to carry a scale model of a three-story house almost as large as she is. A tall column of smoke billows from the house’s top floor, and its source is revealed in a cutaway view of an attic bedroom, where the bed is on fire. This narrow, vertical drawing’s title, “Calcination,” indicates a process of reduction by intense heat. The nude figures in two woodcut prints by Justin Sanz are recognizable as such, even as they appear to be morphing into gnarled, arboreal forms. They’re beautifully rendered variations on an ancient motif, the human-plant hybrid. Also among the show’s highlights are collages and a collaged drawing by Frances Jetter, whose dark backgrounds emphasize their morbid subject matter. The figure lying next to an apple in Jetter’s “William Tell” is collaged from photographs of Swiss cheese. The apple appears to be intact, while the cheese is full of holes. Also lying on its back is the headless quadruped in Jetter’s “Dead Thing with Figure,” a drawing in which a childlike figure kneels alongside this mysterious creature with its long, stiff-looking, upward-pointed legs. Jackie Reeves makes effective use of classical figure-drawing in “Mother, Fire,” a narrative composition on unstretched, unprimed canvas. A little girl wearing a dress confronts the viewer with an unhappy frown and a defiant pose as she stands in front of an angry-looking woman. The woman holds a cigarette to her lips with one hand and, in the other, clutches a rock she looks like she’s about to throw. Posted alongside the canvas is a related written narrative, in the form of an identically titled poem about an ornery mother who hurls a rock at a neighbor’s child. Noteworthy for its delicate intricacy and mysterious content is “An Honorable Death,” an etching by Elaine Su-Hui Chew. It suggests a diamond-shaped kite caught in a configuration of tightly strung wires, loosely tangled strings and what appear to be spider webs and starbursts. Also among the show’s more intriguing pieces is Jan Gilbert’s “La Favorite: In the Deep, Deep Country of St. Etienne.” Housed in a wall-mounted vitrine, it consists of an open, handmade book filled with abstract collages and displayed upright in a small, otherwise empty black suitcase. Guest curator Rossey, who divides her time between Cape Cod and South Carolina, is an independent curator as well as an artist who works in several mediums. She has included three of her own small etchings in the show, as well as a handwoven plaid tapestry. This is the latest of several exhibitions that Rossey has curated for Salem College in recent years. |

I think this was one of our best ForePlays ever, in part because of the quality of scripts; in part because of the pairing of actors with roles and Kelly's playful direction; in part because of the beauty of the space and the spirit of the crowd; with all of the parts cohering into a really enjoyable whole. It was also our first time partnering withCarrier Pigeon, the amazing fine arts and illustrated fiction magazine. Artist Frances Jetter shared a work to help inspire the playwrights, and she spoke with us a little about her process.
