Carbondale Arts will present \u201cCross Pollinate: Works on Paper,\u201d a group exhibition curated by Marcia Weese. An opening reception is set to take place from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, July 11 at the R2 Gallery located inside The Launchpad.<\/p>\n
According to a press release, \u201cCross Pollinate\u201d brings a variety of professionals together, including architects, sculptors, ceramic artists, printmakers, (and even a theoretical physicist), with the common thread being works on paper.<\/p>\n
\u201cWorks on paper are often immediate, intimate, personal expressions with more emphasis on process than product,\u201d according to the release. \u201cBecause of the often-spontaneous nature of drawings and works on paper, this is an opportunity to view more intimately the inner nature of each presenter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curator Marcia Weese (printmaker) brings together eight other professionals, including Gordon Baym (theoretical physicist), Olivia Emery (architect), Jody Guralnick (painter), Sam Harvey (ceramicist), Charmaine Locke (sculptor\/painter), Julia Marshall (landscape architect), James Surls (sculptor), and Brad Ziegel (architect).<\/p>\n
\u201cCross Pollinate\u201d is supported by DHM Design, an employee-owned planning and landscape architecture firm that provides a range of services, including landscape architecture, land planning, ecological planning and urban design to clients nationwide since 1975.<\/p>\n
A preview for Carbondale Arts members and gallery patrons will take place at 5:30 p.m. July 11, to meet the artists and for an opportunity to see the work before the exhibition opens to the public. For more information, call 970-963-1680.<\/p>\n
