Off the MAP: June 29 with Heather Lewis

OFF THE MAP: FRIDAY JUNE 29 Featuring Heather Lewis
Artist Heather Lewis will be sharing imagery and discussing the concepts behind her “deskilled” drawings, and light/shadow installations. Says Lewis: “Looking at painting and drawing as expanded concepts, and interchangeable with installation, I use non-commercial rationales to direct simple arrangements of existing technology, products and situations. This lets me explore the role of mechanical process within creative practice, and engage aspects of the ordinary world within a fine art environment.”
Heather Lewis’ work has been shown in solo and group shows in galleries in the United States and abroad including the Hunter College/Times Square Gallery, New York ; The Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, Summit, New Jersey; The Ewing Gallery at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville; The Affordable Art Fair, London; and The Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh, Scotland.
WHEN: Friday June 29th, doors open at 8:00pm, talk begins at 8:30pm WHERE: Bobo Gallery and Wine Bar, 22 North Lexington COST: Free admission MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST: www.heatherlewis.net
Off the MAP is a lecture series presented by The Media Arts Project offering insightful talks by visual artists and performers who infuse conceptual approaches to art-making with new technology and traditional media. If you have a specific project or idea related to the media arts that you'd like to present, or if you'd simply like to discuss your artistic approach and practice, please contact us!
