Empires and Environments

Jan 23, 2008 - Apr 23, 2008
In the Lois Foster Wing, critic/curator Dominique Nahas and artist Margaret Evangeline will curate 鈥淓mpires and Environments,鈥 an exhibition featuring several works from the Rose collection exhibited with new work from emerging artists. This exhibition continues the Rose鈥檚 recent emphasis on exploring its collection of more than 6,000 pieces.The aim of the exhibition is to create and unveil surprising correspondences between images and forms from the old and the new. "Empires and Environments" proposes to address the interface of environments, (psychological, natural, and cultural) with drives that entail the structuring of 鈥渆mpires鈥 in symbolic, imaginary, and real terms. Artists from the Rose collection include Andy Warhol, Max Beckman, Bryan Hunt, Elizabeth Murray, Florine Stettheimer, Eduoard Boubat, R.B. Kitaj, Ross Bleckner, and Jackson Pollock. Joing them will be Rudd Van Empel, John Powers, Nathalie Frank, Kate Gilmore, Kris Lukomski, Wayne Gonzales, Nicole Cherubini, Michael Combs, F:T Architecture, Joan Mitchell, Karl Klingbiel, Tonya Ingersoll, among others.Dominique Nahas is an independent curator and critic based in Manhattan. He鈥檚 a board member of Art-Omi having served as Art-Omi鈥檚 International Artists Residency Program鈥檚 Critic-in-Residence in 1999. A regular contributor to Art in America, Nahas has written articles and reviews for a wide variety of art publications such as REVIEW, ARTNews, Flash Art, Art On Paper, Paris Photo, New Art Examiner, ArtNet Worldwide, Art Asia Pacific, New Observations, C, Smock, Sculpture, Chelsea NY Arts and TRANS among many other periodicals. He is a former board member and current member of the International Art Critics Association (AICA-USA). His many curatorial projects have included BROOKLYN!, 2001, and JAPAN:RISING, 2003, both co-curated with Michael Rush for the Palm Beach ICA. He is former curator of the Everson Museum in Syracuse and former director of the Neuberger Museum in Purchase, NY.New York-based, Louisiana-born painter Margaret Evangeline has long experimented with aesthetically resistant material, making work that deepens the immediacy of a moment. Evangeline uses gunshot and mirror polished stainless steel to open up the all-over 2D picture plane with its taproot in New American-Type Painting. Solo exhibitions of the artist鈥檚 work have been held at venues as various as The Palm Beach ICA, The Delaware Center for the Arts, The Hafnarborg Art Museum outside Reykjavik, Iceland and the Taipei Museum in Taiwan. In 2008 Evangeline will create a site-specific installation for the River Thames in London on a barge across from the Tate Modern, commissioned by Illuminate Productions.In recent videos, she experiments with sound and actions collected while shooting the steel panels of a commissioned sculpture. 鈥淥nce Upon a Time, America,鈥 a three-minute video, was produced in conjunction with the site-specific installation now in the permanent collection of The Fields at ArtOmi, near Ghent, New York. She is currently at work on a mid-career monograph with the working title, 鈥淭he Big Uneasy In Genius Loci.鈥
