SUMMARY:Art Quilts 30: Palette Cleanser
DESCRIPTION:“A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add\, but when there is nothing left to take away.” \n– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry\nTerre des Hommes\n(published in English as Wind\, Sand and Stars) \nWith the constant onslaught of news media around us\, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected from the world around us. As a respite from these intense narratives\, exploring minimalism through art offers a refreshing Palette Cleanser\, inviting us to reflect on simplicity in a chaotic world. \nSimplicity reveals a profound beauty\, as it strips away extraneous details to reveal clarity in your artistic thought\, design and execution. Maybe your best work is known for its clean lines or its geometric shapes. Do you use a limited or monotoned color palette? Does negative space play a big role in your art? Is your quilt stitching stripped down to the essential shapes needed to highlight and emphasize your design? Perhaps you’re pushing the craft forward by making modern interpretations of traditional quilt blocks or by creating three-dimensional sculptures from quilts that result in spare and elegant forms. \nHowever you use minimalism in your art quilts\, we want to see your submissions for the 30th Annual Art Quilt exhibition. Practicing the art of reduction requires a deep understanding of your subject\, excellent technical mastery and the ability to identify the most crucial elements of the quilting craft to create dynamic emotional effects and leave a lasting impression in your viewers. Palette Cleanser celebrates the beauty of minimalism and encourages simplicity\, clarity\, and timelessness to create powerful\, thought-provoking pieces. \nAbout the Juror\nSusan Allred manipulates textiles and other fibers to explore the ways they affect and reflect our daily lives. Her work expresses her thoughts and feelings about society’s expectations for women\, their bodies and their work. Her artistic process\, which is lengthy and repetitive\, becomes a meditation on “women’s work” — the painstaking labor\, both mental and physical — that has historically been dismissed as merely decorative or utilitarian instead of as the product of a fertile\, creative minds. By transforming quilts into non-functional sculptural works that invite viewers to think about concepts that may be controversial\, Allred questions the notion that crafts cannot be used to create fine art while also commenting on the invisibility of women’s labor. \nAllred’s work has appeared in numerous solo and group exhibitions\, most recently in a two-person show at the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum. She was an artist member at Eye Lounge contemporary art space and served as co-president for two years. Allred lives and works in Tempe\, Arizona. \n  \nOpening Reception\nSaturday\, November 8\, 4-6pm \nRSVP

SUMMARY:Rice is Mẹ: Anh-Thuy Nguyen
DESCRIPTION:Rice. This humble\, white grain is an essential component to most Asian cuisines. It also holds a plethora of meanings and symbolisms in various Asian cultures. For artist\, Anh-Thuy Nguyen\, this ubiquitous food staple has become an obsession. In her latest body of work\, Nguyen utilizes rice as a metaphor for herself as she grapples with the reality that her culture and wisdom are being lost from generation to generation. Like grains for rice running through her hands\, Nguyen felt her culture was lost from her mouth to her daughter’s ears. Throughout this exhibition\, Nguyen is reconciling her feelings of loss\, resilience and hope for the future. \nOpening Reception\nFriday\, November 14\, 6pm-8pm \nRSVP
