ADNATE EXHIBITION AND ARTIST TALK WILL OPEN THE BIRKE ART GALLERY’S SPRING EXHIBITION SEASON
Event details The Birke Art Gallery at the College of Fine Arts will open this spring’s exhibition calendar with Adnate, a two-person exhibition of works by Drew Goerlitz and Ali Della Bitta. The exhibition will open on January 16, 2008 and run through February 7. An Artist Talk (lecture/presentation by the exhibiting artists) is scheduled for Thursday, January 17, at 7 p.m. The presentation will take place in Smith Hall Room 154, next door to the Birke Art Gallery, and will be followed by a reception. The event is free and open to the public.
Exhibition description The adjective adnate means “grown to a usually unlike part, especially along a margin.” Sculptors Drew Goerlitz and Ali Della Bitta mix the durable, industrial media of large-scale sculpture with delicate, ephemeral materials to create sculpture and installation works that explore the ever-changing relationship between man and nature, and between the finite and the infinite. While these artists produce their own individual works, the reciprocal influences resulting from their relationship as a couple yield an organic formal harmony and a thoughtful conceptual dialogue. *****
