May 4 Sat
Erin Curry: Surfacing @ ACA alt_space Gallery
May 4 – Jun 16, 2013 @ all-day

Erin CurryAtlantic Center for the Arts features a storyteller who finds language “unreliable”.  “Surfacing” is an intriguing exhibition that combines the two and three dimensional works of Gainesville, FL artist, Erin Curry. Pieces included in this display are the result of her fascination with marks, traces, and codes drawings can contain, and her “grappling” for means to decode the space around her.

Curry’s work is a combination of drawing and sculpture with a consistent reference to storytelling.  Within her art, she expresses her fascination with language and the difficultly in translating experiences adequately.  “The fullness of experience is too complex”, says Curry, “the present moment, memory, and our expectations all intersect. Try as we might, something is always lost in translation.”

“Surfacing” is the third exhibition within the newly created alt_space gallery. The gallery name, short for alternative, was formed to feature Florida artists working in the genres of installation, emerging media and other non-traditional art forms.  The exhibition includes two recent series: “what I might have said” and “News”.  Both collections derive their forms from paper objects: the first from origami balloons, the second from the Arts section of The New York Times.

On her process, Curry explains, “What I might have said, responds to a paper origami balloon I kept in my pocket over several weeks. The paper balloon functions as vessel for breath, as well as potential container for words and phrases that cannot be adequately articulated. The air in them becomes pregnant with possibility. The drawings borrow their compositions from the creases left in an unfolded balloon. The marks found in each panel are systemized codifications of text from an old book never read. The marks become asemic, suggesting story and cadence, but denying specifics. They abstract into constellations, map-like and star-like at once.”

“News” is a collection of tracings of the arts sections of the newspaper onto translucent mylar. The pages fill with empty boxes and only navigational cues remain. Text directs the viewer, but where? The remade newspapers hang perpendicular to the wall and shift slightly in the currents of a room like boats in harbor. How might these emptied pages suggest orientation in a sea of information? Like the newspapers once found in libraries these objects are meant as reference material to be handled and with repeated viewings the pages will pick up smudges from readers reflecting the reader’s activity back to them”.

Erin Curry is a current MFA candidate in Drawing and Sculpture at the University of Florida. She is a Florida native and founding member of Art Lab, a collective for emerging artists in Gainesville, FL.

This exhibition will run through June 15, 2013 and is free and open to the public. For additional information on the artist, visit her blog here or follow her on Facebook

Atlantic Center for the Arts presents the 24th Annual University Student Exhibition May 18 – August 10, 2013.  Through this annual exhibition, ACA honors the outstanding work being produced by state university art students, and recognizes their dedication to the pursuit of excellence. This year, Diana Cooper juried the work of twenty three students representing nine universities; four artists from five universities were selected. By identifying and promoting these emerging artists, Atlantic Center for the Arts hopes to focus statewide attention on the high level of creative and experimental work being produced at the college level.

About this year’s guest juror: Diana Cooper
Diana participated as a Master Artist in-residence at Atlantic Center for the Arts February 21 – March 13, 2011. She is a New York-based artist, represented by Postmasters Gallery. Ms. Cooper has exhibited extensively both in the United States and abroad. In 2007 she had a 10-year survey exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland. The entire museum was devoted to her work, and a catalogue was published to accompany the exhibition.  Ms. Cooper has participated in group shows at the Whitney Museum of American Art (Altria); P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center; the Brooklyn Museum; the Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnati; the Kunstmuseum, St. Gallen; the Sharjah Museum of Art (UAE); and the Tang Museum, Saratoga Springs.   Ms. Cooper is the recipient of the Rome Prize, a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, Pollock-Krasner Grant, and a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship. In 2008, she was awarded a Public Art Commission from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs Percent for Art Program and Polshek Partnership Architects. In 2009, Americans for the Arts honored her project as one of the top public art projects of that year.  Ms. Cooper received a B.A. from Harvard College and an M.F.A. from Hunter College. She also attended the New York Studio School.

This exhibition is generously sponsored by Ed & Jeanie Harris.  Atlantic Center for the Arts is a nonprofit, interdisciplinary artists’ community and arts education facility dedicated to promoting artistic excellence by providing talented artists an opportunity to work and collaborate with some of the world’s most distinguished contemporary artists in the fields of music composition and the visual, literary, and performing arts. Community interaction is coordinated through on-site and outreach presentations, workshops, and exhibitions. The University Student Exhibition has been providing outstanding state university students an opportunity to exhibit in a professional gallery space since 1989.
