REPEATING SHAPES, REPEATING FORMS
Rhythm of the Practice
As part of my ongoing gallery internship under Jason Lanegan, (Gallery Dir. and Assoc. Chair of the UVU Art + Design Dept.) I was granted the opportunity to plan and curate an exhibition for UVU's Gallery on 6th. For this, I was allowed substantial freedom in developing a conceptual theme and cohort of artists to inquire for their participation. Planned and organized in its majority over the course of August 2023, Repeating Shapes, Repeating Forms: Rhythm of the Practice, ran from Oct. 3rd- Nov. 2nd, 2023.
Sponsored by the UVU Women's Success Center, the show was documented by the UVU Marketing Team, through which also, interviews discussing creative processes were conducted with two of the participating artists (video from this is pending its final edit, and will be posted here once available).
This multidisciplinary exhibition, featuring a number of established artists that are both locally and nationally-practicing, allowed me to experientially research the role of an artist curator. From this experience I gained indelible insight for how such a process can function as an art medium in its own right, as well as this, a deepened appreciation for the importance of curation, and the creative potentiality of the 'Gallery Space' in our contemporary location in Art History.
