Exhibition moves to new online space while physical gallery is closed
Kate Walker's "The Future Issue" from the upcoming online exhibition Intersections, running Jan. 27 – March 5.
Caroline Earley's "Stasis X" from the upcoming online exhibition Intersections, running Jan. 27 – March 5.
CHENEY – Eastern Washington University Gallery of Art has resumed presenting exhibitions – this time via an online format.
The gallery opens its 2021 season with Intersections - which features the works of artists Kate Walker and Caroline Earley. The presentation runs Jan. 27 – March 5, with both artists giving a lecture on their work Feb. 18 at noon via Zoom.
According to a news release, the works of Walker and Earley are injected with humor and content related to social issues, environmental crises and our need for relationality. Both artists draw on formal abstraction in different ways, while their shared use of bright color and repeated, geometric shapes connects the work visually.
The title of the exhibition references Walker's series of paintings based on highway intersections and Earley's series of ceramic works that play on the dynamics of intersecting forms, as well as their collaborative project Intersexions. This collaborative body of work brings a queer lens to formalism and infuses appropriated images with erotic overtones.
Earley received her master of fine arts degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and is professor of art, ceramics at Boise State University. She has received several grants and awards, including the 2013 Idaho Triennial Grand Prize, the 2016 Portage Ceramic Awards, Premiere Award, and the 2017 MoNA Luminaries Artist Award, Jeffry Mitchell Award for Sculpture from the Museum of Northwest Art. Earley exhibits internationally and is represented by Milford Galleries, Dunedin, New Zealand.
Walker's work encompasses painting, performance and video. Recent projects focus on queer bodies and utopian and dystopian imaginings in popular culture. Walker has shown her work nationally and internationally including at Performance Arcade 2020, NZ, City Gallery Wellington, New Zealand; The Suter, Nelson New Zealand; West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival, West Virginia; Queer Cultural Center, SOMArts, San Francisco and Abstracta, International Cinema Exhibition, Rome. Walker received her MFA from the University of Arizona in 2005 and teaches at Boise State University.
The artists will give a lecture on their work on Feb. 18 at noon via Zoom. Please join by visiting this link: https://ewu.zoom.us/j/91440372520.
