About the selections
“The paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and mixed-media and site-specific installations that make up the New Wilmington Art Association’s inaugural annual juried exhibition represent the prodigious creative output of 20 emerging artists. They were chosen from a deep pool of submissions purely on appearances, with knowledge of the artists’ identities coming later.
Installed together, these works – each a compelling expression of singular ideas and outlooks – can be seen to engage the intersection of pattern and space. This is visually apparent in the colorful, fragmented shapes of a syncopated composition, a geometric grid’s regulated linear network, or pieces of material used repeatedly for their totalizing effect. With references to the legacies of Cubism and Minimalism, as well as considerations for architecture, craft, and design, such works are striking to behold. Pattern, however, also suggests a passage of time – as in a habit, a system, or a ritual – and speaks to the cycles of natural and industrial growth and decay. Space carries other, similar parallels. Measured and marked in real terms or through emotional metaphors, it forms the foundation of most interpersonal relationships.
While the overlap of pattern and space pervades this exhibition, it neither defines any one artist’s approach nor was a standard for inclusion here. The notion is instead but one vantage to take when surveying the otherwise diverse works of art in RSVP 2011.”
