DGCP's fall and winter exhibitions:

September 7 – November 9, 2008
“Gravitas” curated by Jan Riley
Works by Tara Donovan, Deborah Hede, Rebecca Holland and Susan York

Opening Reception: Sunday, September 7th, 2:00-5:00pm

All of the artists in Gravitas ― Tara Donovan, Deborah Hede, Rebecca Holland and Susan York ― are Post-Minimalists whose work is about noticing the extraordinary in the familiar and being cognizant of the act of seeing. Building on the Minimalist tradition, their works are created from multiple parts or repeated gestures. The objects they produce, using familiar materials in startling ways, are subtle, and richly reward close
viewing. The works — made of graphite, sugar, paper, lipstick and charcoal — have taken full advantage of the expanded Post-Minimalist vocabulary and have enlarged it still further by returning to the original Minimalist vocabulary of geometric shapes and grids. The difference these artists bring to these now-familiar forms is the addition of the hand labor required to make them. From the multiplication of gestures and the layered effects
of physical effort, each artist in Gravitas has created a warm and inviting form of Minimalism that uses deceptively austere shapes to offer the viewer the delight of recognition and invention.

Jan Riley is a New York-based independent curator and arts writer. She has held curatorial positions at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati and the Virginia Beach Center for the Arts, and writes frequently for Sculpture Magazine. Gravitas is her first freelance project.
