CONWAY, Ark.
(November 5, 2013) – The Hendrix College Department of Art will host "No
Place Like Home," a solo exhibition of recent works, including video
installation, by visiting artist Rebecca Carter from Thursday, Nov. 14 –
Tuesday, Nov. 26 in Trieschmann Gallery.
The exhibition
is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
There will be an
artist talk at 6 p.m. and an opening reception at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 14.
The talk and reception are open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
Carter's works explore states of
intimacy and alienation as they shift through reading, touch, and other states
of reception. She engages processes of appropriation, tracing, erasing,
reconstructing, and the performative in various media, notably the groundless
thread drawing and video. She holds an MFA in fiber and material studies
from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a bachelor’s degree in
studio/art history and women's studies from Oberlin College. For more information, visit www.rebeccacarter.org.
