Galleri Urbane Opening Tonight

Tonight, Sept 18 from 6-9 p.m is the opening of Galleri Urbane's Fall Exhibit “reaction to space”, featuring gallery artists, Gail Peter Borden, a former Chinati Artist In Resident, Ted Larsen, a recent recipient of the Pollack-Krasner Award and Marfa artist Jason Willaford, with visiting artists, Monica Goldsmith, recently added to New American Painters 2008 and Austin artist Rebecca Rothfus.

This year’s group exhibit “reaction to space” is a compilation of 5 artists and their parallel interpretations, questioning how line and mass interact, how manmade and natural structures in the exterior or interior view play against and within space.“ Reaction to Space” will be on exhibit in Gallery One and Four.

In Gallery Two a solo exhibit “STACKS” featuring gallery artist Kate Carr. Stacking and layering have long been tools of Ms Carr’s visual vocabulary, with the use of cloth and wood, the artist associates these utilitarian materials with line. Edges of cloth and wood are stacked or coiled into repeated multiples—creating densely textured, multi-layered fields that hum with line.

In Gallery Three will be selected group of PLATE de composites by gallery artist Michael Berman. The plate itself is a relic, cut and filed by hand, layered with paint into which the photograph has been set, abraded back through the pentimenti, rubbed with graphite and pure pigments, and, finally, waxed. Mr. Berman’s work has been exhibited throughout the U.S and is included in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Amon Carter Museum to name a few, Mr Berman is also a recent recipient of The Guggenheim Award 2008.

Also new to the gallery, will be 4 interior and exterior wood sculpture from artist Munson Hunt, the gallery has selected 3 pieces from the HIVE series, The gallery will also have new work from gallery artists Peter Voshefski and Andrea Zuill.
