"Impulse" Kristen Bellomo and Sara Harrison - Friday, 20th February 2009

UPCOMING EVENT


FRIDAY | 20 February 2009 | 7-10 pm



The Crossley Gallery at Ringling College of Art and Design presents "Impulse", featuring thesis work by Kristen Bellomo and Sara Harrison. Both artists work with sculpture and installation to help represent ideas of impulses through the physical, emotional and perceptual.

Kristen Bellomo works with the idea of paradoxical questioning. Primarily koans, which are used in the teachings of Zen Buddhism to show inadequacy of logical reasoning and are used as an aid in contemplation. She creates sculptural objects and installations dealing with questions of existence, and has introduced text by inventing specific questions/koans regarding the perceptual experience and the artistic process.

Sara Harrison works primarily with electronics, dealing with the idea that electrical currents and the human body have so much in common. She creates sculptures that speak directly to emotional experience. She deals with loss; the direct reactions to emotion and the physical effects that these emotions have on one's body.

Please join us on Friday, February 20th for hors’ devours and beverages!
