IMAGES 2011
Images, a juried mid-Atlantic regional exhibition for fine art and fine craft is now in its twenty-third year. It has evolved into a well-respected show for both emerging and established artists.
JUROR’S STATEMENT
I feel photography curator Anne Wilkes Tucker defined juried exhibitions best: "For each juried exhibition, the variables include the rules of submission, the vagaries of who decided to submit work to the competition, the pictorial traditions of that locality, and the visual inclinations of the juror. Each resulting exhibition reflects the particular tastes and responses by that particular juror to those particular submissions, both to the specific images and to the whole range submitted. The individual pictures are not seen in isolation. Comparisons can be enlightening."
Upon reviewing all submissions for Images 2011, a particularly strong group of textile works set the bar high. Their structures--piece quilts built from shapes of cloth and constructed by stitching are from a grand tradition of functional and utilitarian work that now straddles high art with highly sophisticated design, pattern and color and the folk tradition of quilt making. The approach by these 6 artists varies significantly and this strengthened the impact within the overall pool of submissions. It soon became clear these works would become the fulcrum on which the exhibition wanted to be balanced.
With their structures evident, the visual building blocks of other works began to resonate and rhyme. Geometry is the common path these works take to clue us into how we are to read them. Elemental triangles, Square and circles are the bedrock organizing principals of all visual arts. They are prehistoric signs and the base language for a visual literacy. Content and cultural references are grown out of this same system and it serves to signal our common origins. These origins include a need to make a recognizable order and point of entry for all viewers.
Comparisons are indeed enlightening. Successful technique, conceptual invention, and emotional impact are in ample supply in the Robeson Gallery.
