Very excited to curate the exhibit Conditions of Possibility for the Umpqua Valley Arts Center's Red Gallery on display September 7 - October 26, 2012.
Possibility is a state of chance or likelihood. Culturally, we are taught, "anything is possible," to "take a chance," and that "the world is our oyster." The word possibility hints at ability. It hints at desire and the opportunity for success. What are the conditions or circumstances required to create possibility? Do we create these conditions ourselves? What are the results when one takes advantage of chance and opportunity?
Using photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, video and audio, artists David French, Sandee McGee, Jon Leach, Amy Stout, Jen Erickson, Ryan Molenkamp, Todd Baldwin, and Kate Renner explore notions of possibility through a variety of imagery.
