The Projectionist: An Exhibition & Film by Kendall Messick

August - October, 2007
project website »

"The Projectionist" is a film and exhibition that explores one man's lifelong fascination with an era in American culture almost forgotten: the age of the grand movie palace. This fascination culminates in Gordon Brinckl'’s magical creation - The Shalimar Theatre - lovingly constructed in the basement of his modest Delaware home. Using parts from the original theatre, The Shalimar Theatre has been reconstructed to be shared with the public along with documentary photographs and a film.

Surface Tension: Multimedia Abstractions by Cindy Neuschwander & Hiroyuki Hamada
Curated by Katie Lee

May - June, 2007
online exhibition »

The works of both Cindy Neuschwander and Hiroyuki Hamada hover somewhere between painting and sculpture, transcending the definitions of these particular media. In many ways, both of these artists create works that are better understood by looking rather than by reading or describing. Neuschwander and Hamada both work with an intense focus on process, creating heavily worked, layered multimedia objects.

One Big Self: Prisoners of Louisiana & Cellblock Visions: Prison Art in America

January - March, 2007
artist's website »

These two exhibitions provided privileged access to the inside of America's prisons. One Big Self is a remarkable collaboration between photographer Deborah Luster, poet C.D. Wright, and inmates in three Louisiana prisons.  This project allows the prisoners to present themselves as they wish to be seen. Phyllis Kornfeld has been teaching art in prisons since 1983.  She has compiled a collection of art from prisoners and a book called Cellblock Visions, chronicling the inner lives of prisoners.
