Fall Exhibitions 2008 |
September 5 – October 25, 2008
November 7 – December 20, 2008 MAIN GALLERY For The Sculpture Center exhibition, Mitchell will show excerpts of two films. The gallery will be arranged in such a manner that the viewer will block certain parts of the film while watching it, thus creating the interaction with the protagonists and placing that person into the various roles. Curtis Mitchell’s work, often seen at New York galleries, was last shown in this area at the Mattress Factory, Pittsburgh, PA, in 2003, at P.S.1 MoMA in 2006, and this summer at Maisonneuve, Paris, in The Word Is…/Bill Albertini, Jan Kopp, Curtis Mitchell. Mitchell, a New Yorker, is the fall 2008 Visiting Professor of Sculpture at the Cleveland Institute of Art.
EUCLID AVENUE GALLERY Ericsson’s artwork is based upon the lives of his immediate family of grandparents, uncle, mother, and father, and his upbringing with them in Cleveland. All Ericsson’s family on his mother’s side died over a 5 year period. He often exhibits sculptural objects that he has made in response to these losses, actual objects and memorabilia that he unexpectedly inherited, and self-published magazines about these experiences. With these objects he explores the lives and creates “portraits” of his family members and, obliquely by association and by his choices and omissions, of himself. Ultimately the objects and installations activate in the viewer the emotions that the artist has experienced. The Sculpture Center exhibition is being held in conjunction with Narcissus at Shaheen Modern and Contemporary Art, 740 W. Superior Ave., Suite 101, Cleveland (Nov. 15 – Dec. 20, opening Nov. 15), an exhibition of Ericsson’s recent graphite drawings for the series by the same name. Ericsson divides his year between Cleveland and New York. His most recent exhibition was at Heidi Cho Gallery in New York (Oct. 2007). His work is held in the collection of the Progressive Corporation. ![]() T.R. Ericsson The Magic Inside of You is Infinite 2007 glass and alcoholic cocktail mix, 5 x 6 x 1 1/2 in.
