Opening Reception – Kurt Herrmann: Smoke in the Hills
When: Saturday, April 1, 1-4 pm
Where: Yard Dog Art, 916 Springdale Rd, Bldg 3, STE 104
Join Yard Dog Art in celebrating the opening of Kurt Herrmann’s “Smoke in the Hills.”
“These paintings are my vehicle to poke around the hills and valleys of Appalachia and see what pops up. The mountains are full of stories, songs, and skunks, but the two-legged yahoos are probably the most fun. Amish, rednecks, crusty octogenarians, and burning bears collide to create strange bedfellows and tableaus. I’m riffing on the inhabitants, the landscape, but ultimately myself. Sometimes what I stumble upon is real, sometimes invented – it doesn’t really matter. The paintings are real, the rest is a mystery.” –Kurt Herrmann
Reception – Signals: New Work by Moyo Oyelola
When: Saturday, April 1, 7-9 pm
Where: Ivester Contemporary, 916 Springdale Rd, Bldg 2, STE 107
Ivester Contemporary is proud to present Signals, a solo exhibition of new work by Moyo Oyelola. Signals features a collection of makeshift devices like radios, cameras, and stereos, fashioned from wooden offcuts and other scrap materials. This playful collection of sculpture exemplifies the resourcefulness of African people, as well as the sustaining pursuit of African American’s to “tune in” to a frequency in America that serves their community. Oyelola’s devices, built from the detritus of the Western world, work to reconnect the two halves of his life.
