In The Gallery: Oblong
First Friday:
February 4, 2010 5-9 pm
Matthew Steele’s interests lie in methods of connection. Heavily motivated by infrastructure, Steele sees a certain poetry to the lengths we go to and to feel connected. He is interested in how our internal technologies are often reflected in the physical technologies that we produce. There is desire in a highway. There is resilience in a dam. There is triumph in a bridge. These icons are steeped in intense labor. They are manifestations of our grand intention; to transcend the greatest obstacles we know. It is Steele’s intent to personify or portray technologies of the self through depictions of these utilitarian endeavors.

christopher west presents Weaving Through Walls
First Friday:
October 1, 2010 5–9pm
Weaving Through Walls is a new installation by Indianapolis-based Susan Tennant. Tennant’s sculptures and installations use the physical properties and characteristics of tension to represent a metaphorical connection between the physical and the psychological. The fiberglass rods and twine are lightweight and seemingly fragile, but possess great compressive and tensile strength for defining and holding together the intertwined circles and orbits of her sculptures.
