Olivia Schreiner: Paintings
Mid-April to July 2009
Olivia Schreiner’s practice focuses on painting as a place to experiment with mark making and to simultaneously represent her experience of landscape. The focus of the works on view in the McAninch Arts Center Lobby oscillates between the paint, its drips, washes and intense color, and the recognizable glimpses of landscape. Within this back-and-forth there is a parallel created between the experience of a landscape and that of the painting, between what is represented and how it is being represented. The process of looking is slowed down, evoking the time it took to be made, but also the time lapse between the experience and when and how it is represented.

Paintings by Paul Nudd
August 2008 to January 2009
Nudd pushes his signature biomorphic shapes and encrusted textures into an expanded graphic (sub) landscape with a new series of six cavernous grayscale paintings. The six canvases in [McAninch Arts Center Lobby] incorporate grotesque items — synthetic hair and clay that resemble dried mucus — that drive the art historical read of the body-as-landscape further into a molecular level where all elements appear the same at the core. — Excerpts from Dirty exhibition at Hyde Park Arts Center, Chicago 2008
