The San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) presents Manifold, a solo exhibition by postminimalist sculptor and installation artist Theodora Varnay Jones.  Manifold will be on view from November 7, 2009 through February 20, 2010.

The installation in the ICA’s Focus Gallery provides visitors with a unique opportunity to see the breadth, depth and evolution of Varnay Jones’ work over the past thirty years.   Comprised of two- and three-dimensional works including drawings, constructed works and re-conceptualized ready-made pieces, the exhibition reflects the artist’s systematic exploration of repetition, form and material.

A Talking Art conversation with Varnay Jones will be held on Thursday, January 14, 2010 from 7pm to 9pm at the ICA.  An accomplished printmaker,  Varnay Jones has also been invited to participate in the ICA Print Center’s 2010 Artist in Residence Program.

Hungarian-born Varnay Jones has lived in San Francisco for over thirty-five years. She received her BFA and MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest. Her works have been exhibited extensively, nationally, and in Europe and Asia and she has received numerous awards and grants.
