"Bits and Pieces" Cole Borycens & Kristy Milner, 6 March 2009

UPCOMING EVENT

FRIDAY | 6 March 2009 | 7-10pm

The Crossley Gallery at Ringling College of Art and Design invites you to the opening "Bits and Pieces", a show featuring the work of Cole Borycens and Kristy Milner. Both of these artists create unique installations by using cheap or found material.

Cole Borycens explores new ways of making art by combining audio mixing with installation. He collects audio samples from consumer items that people may unintentionally ignore and organizes them into one piece. His installations are visual representations of sound and his placement of objects are very spontaneous. By hybridizing audio and installation Cole is giving the viewer the perfect opportunity to understand and appreciate his entire process.

Kristy Milner is driven by obsessive compulsion and a fascination with the relatively unknown world that exists on our ocean floors. She captures a sense of pattern, color, and shape and incorporates them into her "growths". By purchasing cheap, readily available craft store materials, Kristy builds these creature-like forms to exaggerate the bizarre in nature. Her tedious process of common craft materials is her physical realization and mental obsession.

"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!
