Ross Barber |
Drift |
A curator statement nicely describes Ross's work: "Bodies looking at art, become bodies negotiating architectural space. rather than expect particular bodies, he, Ross Barber politicizes such an expectation. Rather than ordering bodies, he creates disorder for them to negotiate.Rather than provide solid ground, he leads us to question who makes the ground on which we situate ourselves on, why and for whom." |

Sadie Ruben |
Sea of Memories |
Sadie Christoffersen has exhibited her work since 2000 in numerous shows in Denmark. As a tailor she has worked for several years creating theater costumes, but a Peter Greenaway exhibition in 2000 became a turning point that started her out on her artistic career. She creates objects out of textiles and textile fibres that she mixes with other materials, thus obtaining an intimate depth and a sensual character to her objects. Her works are dreamlike and fragile and touch the viewer deeply leaving you with existential and intriguing questions. - Contemporary music is a great inspiration to Christoffersen, and so is also – often painful - stories from her life. – Her shows have won much acclaim in the Danish art scene due to the originality of her works. |

Amy Stacey Curtis |
Amy Stacey Curtis, the Maine Arts Commission's 2005 Individual Artist Fellow For Visual Art, has scheduled ambitious solo-biennial exhibits of interactive installation through at least 2010. Each exhibit of large-in-scope work takes place in a different Maine community's vast abandoned space and requires audience perpetuation. |

Recent Acquisitions |
In her own words "I am drawn to photography because of its ubiquitous presence in our culture and because of the tension between the truth-value photographs infer and their inherent manipulation of reality. Despite our awareness of the mutability of photographic images, we approach them thinking we know what to expect: something that-has-been, a fixed subject inside a frame. If the fundamental nature of photography is the fixing of an image, then it is my goal to create an image whose subject is illusive. I develop my work out of my desire to scratch off the surface of the image and expose its construction." |

Claude Montes |
Sculpture as Sculpture |
Born on the rugged mountains of Petion-Ville, Haiti, Claude Montes has always pursued the path of the visual arts. Beginning with drawing at an early age, Claude began to paint in 1965 with watercolour and then with oils. It was not until 1987 that he began to explore the possibilities of stones while attending a sculpture class at Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas. It is in sculpture that he began to develop what can be called a style, from several carving techniques and renditions of the human figure. |
