Turchin Center for the Visual Arts in Boone, NC, Features New Exhibits for the Spring

The Turchin Center for the Visual Arts at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC, will present new exhibitions for the Spring including: The Capture of the Temporal: New Works in Photography and Video, and In a New Light: America's Brush with Impressionism. Both exhibits will be on view from Mar. 4 through May 28, 2005.

With the development of photography in the nineteenth century, a new and seemingly magical way of creating images set in motion a technological and artistic exploration that continues to evolve today. This exciting and challenging exhibition takes a look at some of the best contemporary photography and video.

Featured artists in The Capture of the Temporal: New Works in Photography and Video will include: Keith Carter (photography), Sarawut Chutiwongpeti (video, installation, photography), Peter Eudenbach, Richard Garet, Misty Keasler (photography), Olga Mink (video, vj), Paco Parado (video), Eric Proulx (video),, Bela Rosemberg (video), Andreanna Seymore (photography), and Tjader-Knight, Inc. (video).

In a New Light: America's Brush with Impressionism, is an exhibition exploring the impact made by the Impressionist movement on American Art created in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Artists from the United States, who often studied in France, blended the techniques of French Impressionism with their concepts, ideals and goals to create a new American Art for the 20th century. These artists often found themselves in revolt against what they viewed as an overly structured and stale art scene.

In addition to works by well-known artists from across the United States, this exhibition features a collection of works by important Southern Impressionist artists. Impressionism, in various forms, held sway over the work of many Southern artists until the approach of the mid 20th century.

Featured artists will include: John W. Bentley, John Sylvan Brown, Elisabeth Augusta Chant, William Merritt Chase, Eliot Candee Clark, Charles Courtney Curran, Arthur Bowen Davies, John Fulton Folinsbee, William Gilbert Gaul, William James Glackens, Aaron Harry Gorson, Ellen Day Hale, Charles Webster Hawthorne, Colette Pope Heldner, Robert Henri, Hattie Hutchcraft Hill, William Samuel Horton, Alfred Heber Hutty, Louis E. Jone, Walter Koeniger, Ernst Lawson, Clarence Millet, Charles Frederick Naegele, Jane Peterson, Walter Elmer Schofield, William Posey Silva, Helen Maria Turner, Guy Carleton Wiggins, Ellsworth Woodward, and William Woodward.
