Rural: Works Exploring The Countryside
Living in the 鈥渃ountryside鈥� is often framed, maybe romanticized, as a lifestyle more in touch with the land, historically because the settlements around it are supported by its cultivation. (How have the economics of rural living changed?) People here live more distantly, and accordingly develop different kinds of family and networks to relate. Distance creates new customs鈥攃onventionally a sense of independence and self-reliance. (What do we rely on rural communities for? What do rural communities rely on?) The landscape is a little more uninhabited, but it is still well-mapped and divided. What does a rural home look like? A rural school? A rural place of worship? A rural life? A rural philosophy?
Where does 'rural' begin and end?
For this exhibit 74 artists submitted 305 works from 27 states and 3 countries, Canada, England, and the United States. Fourteen works by the following 9 artists from 8 states and Canada were selected by a blind jury process for presentation in the gallery and the Manifest Exhibition Annual publication.
