EXHIBITION: Brent Crothers: Still Waking Up
May 6th 2011 - May 27th 2011
Brent Crothers strives to connect his work to his life. Each piece he creates has its own origin, its own story. His sculptures are his way of wrestling with many of the interconnected issues facing humanity today.
...Crothers studied sculpture at MICA in 1988 and has since exhibited his work in galleries and museums throughout the mid-atlantic region, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
EXHIBITION: Khan Le: Know Place
May 6th 2011 - May 27th 2011
Khanh Le often thinks about his hyphenated identity, as a Vietnamese-American, in the context of a landscape, a thing of earthly and natural status. When people ask him what Vietnam is like, it is almost as though they believe the landscape is permanent and non-changing, as if it is frozen in time. Conception of "real" and "unreal" is one of the larger issues that Le deals with in his work. He uses real images from Vietnam, but reconfigures them to represent an unreal place. Just like his images, Le knows the place but it is no place that can really be found.
Khan Le has resided in Washington D.C. since 1990. He received his M.F.A. from Syracuse University in 2008.
