What’s it all about?: “Art for Art’s Sake” best describes the approach to my chosen expression of creativity. I am most myself when I forget myself in the process of creating unique papers, dismantling and reassembling them into art works called collage.
 
Luka Blakeslee – “A place in time; as seen by a trespasser in the land of death"

The decay of the world around us and the unique ability of the camera to capture the state of its subject permanently.
 
And in the Klausmeier Room – New Works by Jerry Ross

Local artist Jerry Ross, just returned from a tour of Italy, presents “New Works” that include “Bardos” (Bodhisattva), experimental landscapes, small portraits, & sketches.

The New Zone Gallery is located on the corner of Oak St and 11th Ave in Eugene. We are open every day except Monday, 12-6 pm.

According to photographer Elliott Erwitt, “Color is descriptive. Black and white is interpretive.” Color plays a significant role in how we see and perceive the world around us. Without it, we have to rely on our imagination, experience and knowledge to interpret what we see. Viewers may also focus more on the subject matter and its emotional state, taking time to look closer and reflect.

With this exhibition of works in black and white, we hope you will slow down with us and ruminate over the interplay of light, shade and outlines.

On display until March 14th.

Curated by Tannaz Farsi and Simone Ciglia
Featuring: Noor Abuarafeh | Shadi Harouni | Laura Larson | MoRE | Zora Murff | Gala Porras-Kim | Wendy Red Star | Marco Scotini | Service Works | Stephanie Syjuco

Opening Event – Saturday, January 17
Curator Walkthrough: 4:30 – 5:00 p.m.
Reception: 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

The “archival impulse,” an essay by Hal Foster, animated a significant trend in contemporary art since the early 2000s. This opened an unorthodox use of the archive through a multiplicity of methodological and aesthetic strategies which included critiquing and dismantling the alleged neutrality of the institution by highlighting its gaps, absences, and biases; expanding representation to include suppressed and peripheral histories; and complicating the construction of the archive through fiction and speculation.

Produced by the Center for Art Research at the University of Oregon, The Whisperers considers experimental practices imformed by the archive in recent contemporary art. The featured works by national and international artists challenge the conventions of the archive by reanimating exclusionary histories defined by patriarchy or colonial oppression, addressing forms of disobedience and resistance, and incorporating the refused and unrealized.

This exhibition is made possible by the University of Oregon Department of Art’s Center for Art Research and the Ford Family Foundation.
