How Art Saved the World exhibit postponed

Dear Pop Revolution Gallery fans,

Due to lack of entries for "How Art Saved the World" we will be postponing the exhibit until Earth Day Weekend 2012.

 

What is Earth Day?

 

Earth Day is observed on April 22 and was started in the United States in 1970 by Senator Gaylord Nelson to create awareness for the Earth's environment and to encourage conservation efforts. In 1990, Earth Day was taken international, and today, more than 500 million people in 175 countries observe Earth Day.

We hope that by re-scheduling this exhibit we will allow adequate time for more work to be done. It has been a very busy few months for our fellow artists and for us so postponing the exhibit is in the best interest for everyone.

 

Any entry fees received will be refunded and we will keep your information on file for the re-scheduled exhibit opening on Saturday, April 21, 2012 on Earth Day Weekend. More information about the new exhibit opening will be sent out over the next few months!

We apologize to all the artists that worked very hard to put together work for this exhibit. By re-scheduling we hope to still make it worth the while and provide an exciting opening to celebrate Earth Day.

 

Pop Revolution Gallery thanks you for your time, patronage, efforts to make the world a better place and supporting the arts.

Sincerely,

Pop Revolution Gallery

The Modern World: Visions of Ben Neal

Pop Revolution Gallery is pleased to announce the upcoming show, “The Modern World” to open Saturday, October 9, 2010 with an artist’s reception from 4-8pm.

At first glance the pieces will seem fictional or other-worldly, but on closer inspection the viewer will recognize the parts that make up the whole. Artist Ben Jason Neal has incorporated the cast-offs of our everyday world into his art. Bygone technology finds new life ...through his hands. The narrative that Neal is relaying is that of a future generation for whom the artifacts of our time are a mystery. Can the shell of a formerly “useful” object convey its purpose even if its soul/electronics are no longer functional? Can the imprint of human touch be experienced yet in objects no longer working in their original capacity? Neal asks these questions and examines the subject of interconnectedness and infinity in his most recent work to be unveiled at the opening.

The Modern World will run from Saturday, October 9, 2010 – November 4, 2010.

Reflections by Francis J. Michaels

Reflection is a word of many meanings; from the most literal – a return of light or an image – to the more abstract – a meditation, thought or memory. Photographer Francis J. Michaels draws from his series, “Backyard Tragedies”, “Treasures” and “Unparalleled World” to explore all aspects of this word in his aptly titled upcoming show, “Reflections”.

"Collision"

"Collision", a collaborative project by artists, Pattie Byron and Rebeca Pittman, will open on Saturday, August 14, 2010 with an artist’s reception from 4-8pm.

"Collision" does not refer to a conflict or violent occurrence, but rather an exchange of energy between sculptor, Pattie Byron and painter, Rebeca Pittman. This is a true collaborative effort where, in its inception, Byron was wrapping Pittman’s drawings around sculpture and Pittman was painting Byron’s sculptures. Collision is a dialogue between the two artists who looked at the project as a collision of lives as well as artwork. Both wanted to be thrust out of their comfort zones into territory that challenged them as artists. Byron wanted to bring painting into her sculpture and Pittman, who “strives for flatness” in her work was interested for her painting to become more three-dimensional.

The artists reveal that this has been a back-and-forth process, with each working on pieces in shifts out of their studios at the Pendleton Arts Center. Ultimately the artists wish for the audience to experience the collision of their styles, but also sense the harmony in the pieces.

"Collision" runs from Saturday, August 14 – Saturday, September 4, 2010.
