Flowing, Pulsing, Beating, Burning, an art show opening at The Glendale College Art Gallery on February 2nd, 2008, invokes a discourse of blood, fluidity, and the animate life-force.  Artists in the show participate in these thematic categories through the individuated fusing of gesture and sign.  The pleasure of viewing the selected works together as a show may be in the varied eloquence of each artist’s interweaving of language and raw impulse, or in the seductive writhing and tension of the overall installation.

Dennis Hollingsworth will contribute two paintings on paper, Torbjorn Vejvi will show one medium-scale sculpture made of metal and fabric, there will be two paintings on canvas by John McAllister, and eighteen framed drawings on paper by Jennifer Lane. At least one, maybe two large photographic prints will be presented by Heather Cantrell, Caroline Thomas will create two ceramic sculptures, and Katrin Jurati will create a large collage-based painting on silk.

The show opens February 2nd and runs till March 7th, 2008. A reception for the artists will be held on February 2nd from 5-8 pm. Admission to the gallery is free and all are welcome to the opening reception.
