Bending the Mirror & home

Presented by Columbus College of Art & Design

Columbus College of Art & Design presents two new exhibitions in the Canzani Center Gallery: Bending the Mirror, which samples the fecund diversity of international figurative art today; and home., which examines what we might call "normal" suburbia through the work of painter Jessica Rohrer and photographers Bill Owens and Mark Slankard.

Bending the Mirror
Figure as body. Body and vessel. Vessel as receptacle.
Artists: Alison Elizabeth Taylor, Eric Swenson, Folkert De Jong, Martha Colburn, Erwin Wurm, Sun Xun, Philip Akkerman, Michaël Borremans,
Angela Ellsworth , Christian Faur, Danielle Julian-Norton, Mika Rottenberg, Jansson Stegner, Matt Stokes, Fred Tomaselli, Mickalene Thomas
This exhibition samples a portion of the complex information found in new figurative art. These works, while connected in subject, display a timely spectrum of ideas, perspectives, issues of identity, and sociopolitical agendas. Christian Faur and Mark Bush, two artists from central Ohio, will be part of the diverse international roster.

home. - A Meditation On Suburbia
home. combines the perspectives of three artists who have distinctive takes on the American suburb and the lives of those within: emerging NYC painter Jessica Rohrer, iconic 1970's photographer Bill Owens, and Cleveland-based artist Mark Slankard.
