Redux Contemporary
Art Center in Charleston, SC, Features Juried Show
Redux Contemporary Art Center in Charleston, SC, will present the exhibit, Reorientation III, featuring a bi-annual juried show of works by the artists of Redux, on view from Mar. 27 through Apr. 19, 2009.
For the bi-annual event, Redux has selected juror Tom Stanely from Rock Hill, SC. Stanley is an artist and chair of the Department of Fine Arts at Winthrop University. For twenty-five years, Stanley has been actively involved in the organization of exhibitions as director of the Waterworks Visual Arts Center and Winthrop University Galleries. His work has been exhibited in numerous galleries nationally.
This year, Stanley has selected several of Redux's artists, including Townsend Davidson, Kaminer Haislip, Kirsten Moran, Kate Long-Stevenson, Lynne Riding, Michael Heagerty, Tina Christophillis, Julie Henson, Julie Klaper and Steven Lawrence. Describing Reorientation III, Stanley says, "The first works I saw after arriving at Redux Contemporary Art Center were Kirsten Moran's expressive, linear figures. I realized in looking at these untitled depictions of anonymous women that somehow Reorientation would be a figurative show. Moran's spontaneous, but practiced approach to the figure was reason enough to search for a figurative element in my choices. Regardless of the image or reference to figure in Reorientation, one thing is clear, the human spirit was the major figurative element in all the work. After all this is the bottom line with art or a space like Redux - the human spirit is the inexplicable figure that makes it all work".
