ReDRAWN
Anna Plesset, Biliana Velkova, Carrie Walker
July 16 — August 15
Opening Reception: Friday, July 24, 6—9 p.m.
Artist Talk: TBA
A look at three artists who
appropriate visual material through drawing.
Anna Plesset's impeccably drawn reproductions
of newspaper headline clippings not only call attention to
the content of the headline, but also explore illusion, control,
and the ephemeral and physical qualities of the newspaper itself.
Biliana Velkova uses carbon paper to trace
the covers of the tabloid magazine "In Touch Weekly". Seen
together, the melodramatic statements and vague images become
poster-like chronicles of pop culture's fascination with celebrity
lives. Carrie Walker acquires antique drawings
through online auctions and then alters them by adding her
own highly detailed drawings of wildlife. The stylistic and
thematic differences between her work and the original create
odd scenes and narratives that inevitably beg questions about
the intention of both artists.
