City Gallery at the Dock Street Theatre in Charleston, SC, Features Works by Gena Grant
The City Gallery at the Dock Street Theatre in Charleston, SC, is presenting the exhibit, Constructions, featuring works by Mt. Pleasant, SC, artist, Gena Grant from Nov. 3 through Dec. 2, 2005.
Grant was born in Atlanta, GA. She attended the Atlanta College of Art on a merit scholarship and earned a double major in sculpture and drawing. At the same time, she started dancing and singing in a theatre group. Grant traveled all over the country and Canada garnering national acclaim from such publications as The Rolling Stone and The New York Times. From that experience, she began doing performance art and making sculptural installations. Grant has lived in Georgia, California, Hawaii, and now in South Carolina, where she is teaching art as well as making it.
Grant comments on her work: "Anais Nin said, 'We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are'. Before me sits an ordinary basket. Pulling reed from reed, the basket comes apart. It lays there in pieces, in ambiguity, in turmoil. What rises is a new life, delicate, and inevitable. Born of chaos, a deep order emerges."
