from here to there, opening Friday, December 9, at Darger HQ, will feature work by Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez (Lincoln, NE) and Leigh Tarentino (Providence, RI) and will be on view through February 5, 2017.  The opening reception will be 6:00 to 9:00 pm, with an artist talk at 6:00 pm, facilitated by Alex Priest of the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts.

 

from here to there is a two-person exhibition of work that seeks to delineate the boundaries of the invented world and to examine ideas of cultural memory. Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez will be exhibiting her Leaning Chumbes sculptures. Chumbes are belts of the Guambiano indigenous community in Colombia. Friedemann-Sánchez recontextualizes the small textiles into substantial wooden planks resembling American Minimalist sculpture, thus providing stature to a cultural tradition oppressed by centuries of colonial relationships within her native Colombia.  Leigh Tarentino will be exhibiting paintings of imaginary gardens from a new series, Estates of the Realm.  Tarentino’s exteriors of gardens and landscapes are simplified but complex in perspective and universal.
