March 4 - April 23, 2011 in the Focus Gallery Two

The sculptures of Rene Muhl (adjunct in sculpture at UNT) range from installations to individual works of art. Whether site specific or autonomous, the sculptures address connectedness. Connectedness or entwinement is to make contact or come together. Muhl is interested in experiences that connect us as human beings to each other and the environment. Some of her sculptures involve collaboration with community members who share a common interest, while other sculptures reflect how connected and entwined we are with the environment.

In earlier centuries women came together as a community to work and socialize. They often gathered to work collectively in creating quilts, each contributing scraps of cloth with their own history to create a quilt that might depict a story or have repeated patterns. Muhl co-opts the idea by utilizing communally assembled puzzles with a woven framework. Communities of women piece puzzles together. She then deconstructs the puzzles and weaves them together with wire creating snapshots of images that form a new pattern and a new visual experience.

Reception for the Artist on March 26, 2011, 6 - 9PM

Focus Gallery Exhibitions are presented by the Exhibition Advisory Panel of the Fort Worth Community Arts Center. The mission of the EAP is to exhibit contemporary art with a focus on regional artists in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana.

Adela Andea (MFA-Sculpture) solo show “Bioluminescence”

From the artist:

Bioluminescence

Bioluminescence is a fascinating phenomenon that is also naturally occurring at great depth in the ocean. The deep see layer of the ocean was always a great source of mysteries for the scientists. We know more about the surface of the Moon than we know of the deep ocean. Until recent discoveries it was inconceivable that life can exist without the sun or oxygen. The deep sea marine life emphasizes the adaption to very harsh environments, like high pressure, low temperatures, high density, and no light from the Sun.

My artworks add a technology layer to the bioluminescence phenomenon and create an unnatural environment, a cyber-luminescence world derived from bioluminescence occurrences. The show is focusing on presenting an imaginary world, a technological light eco-system that embraces the viewer into a new universe of light and plastic forces. Using light and consumer electronics to bring this fantasy to life, my show emphasizes the post-self construction of individual identity through the adoption of technology.

The continuous search for new materials, review websites and visit a variety of stores, is part of the artistic process. I am bound by the technological developments of the hardware industry and the availability on the market of these products for mass consumption. The nature of this process is a very rapid changing consumer environment where some products are getting better and some are only transient and experimental. Finding and gathering my “art supplies” is a constant shifting ground, a reflection of dynamic moment.

There is a certain type of aesthetic in the plastic, artificial, synthetic materials that is being undervalued, based on the original intent, context and purpose attributed to these products. I am interested in the plastic, manufactured look, of the latest computer gadgets, the artificiality of light produced with different technologies, as they provide an alien and uneasy ambiance. The visual impact of CCFL, LED and EL wire, affects the way I design and build the structure for each sculpture.

TEDxSMU Rapid Artists Exhibit Opening Night

TEDxSMU is partnering with SculptCAD's Rapid Artists program for the opening of the first art exhibit of its kind. Fourteen Dallas artists have diverged from their typical mediums to learn to sculpt using digital sculpting programs, and the final renderings of their creations were subsequently produced using ground-breaking 3D printing processes in materials from bronze to plastic.

The exhibit will open at One Arts Plaza with an evening event co-produced by TEDxSMU and SculptCAD. Please join us to see the exhibit and hear TEDxTalks from several of the artists involved with the project and visit with the artists one-on-one about the pieces and their inspiration.
