September 22, 2010
On October 1, Gallery Connexion's Annex Gallery reveals two exhibitions. “Earthly Beauties: The Painted Works of Andrea Crabbe and Kim Vose Jones” and “Possible Selves” a show of collage that incorporates photography, painting and drawing by Marsha Clark. The Annex Gallery is located in the Playhouse at 686 Queen St.. Please join us for an opening reception Friday, October 1 at 5 p.m. The exhibition will run until Monday, November 15 , 2010.
Crabbe and Vose Jones bring us work created from different eyes, recorded at different times, and within different landscapes. They offer a lift to the spirit, and offer identity to places and people real and imagined. In silent conversation these vibrant, works share unique qualities. They strive to capture the memorable, and transform the everyday into dreamlike, otherworldly experience. Kim Vose Jones is a Master of Fine Arts candidate in Studio Art at Maine College of Art. Her two and three dimensional work has been exhibited and collected internationally. Andrea Crabbe holds a BFA from NSCAD University. She has taught introductory painting at NSCAD’s School of Extended Studies and maintains an active painting practice in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
In ‘Possible Selves’, Clark explores the question of identity formation. What is identity? How does it form? What psychological, physical and social environmental elements comprise identity? How does it grow and change, yet the basis remain the same? Using the house as a metaphor for a life, architectural elements are built up and torn down to represent the growth of our individual personality. Clark's background as a fine furniture maker and experience in carpentry has helped her understand how structures are built; the interior frame work and the numerous joints, connections and fastenings that are necessary for a structure to function properly. Much like a person is built, our identity is made up of numerous connections, experiences and turning points to produce a specific personality. This is a show of collage that incorporates photography, painting and drawing.
The Annex Gallery is an initiative between Gallery Connexion and the Fredericton Playhouse to provide a juried exhibition space for Gallery Connexion members and for the Playhouse to include a programmed exhibitions in its galleries.
The Annex Gallery is organized by a Gallery Connexion committee and facilitated by the Fredericton Playhouse. For more information, contact Rita Sassani at nnxgallery@gmail.com
