Acknowledgments and Credits

Outside the Centers/ On the Edge In the fall of 2002, I approached Dan Talley, director of the Sharadin Art Gallery at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, with a germ of an idea for a collaborative exhibition. As both an artist and a curator who lives just a little too far outside of a major urban center to be considered for artist grants in that city, I began

tJconsider

the idea of how one's location, particularly when one is positioned outside of a center, can bear on the opportunities one has as an artist. Does existing on the hysical periphery ultimately help or hinder in the building of one's reputation within those

centers? Does that location effect one's approach toward artmaking and if so, how? Talley developed the title of the exhibition and together we deci>ied to organize a show which would identify and encourage Pennsylvania artists who both live and work outside of the major metropolitan centers of Philadelp ia and Pittsburgh.

Our vision of the show, however, did not simply end with the notion of focusing on regional artists. As alluded to in the title, we also were thinking about how the title could describe an attitude or mental state tha( an artist may hold while working in these

so-called "remote" places. It seems that innovation and experimentation are qualities

---

recognized more in art made in urban centers, while more traditional conventions seem te dominate the artistic landscape in outlying areas. Despite this tendency, we suspected that there are artists who work on the attitudinal edge of these places and thus, we sought to find them. This did not mean that we were searching for artists who seemed to be emulating trends seen within the centers, either. Instead, we wanted to locate those individuals who work from the edge, their own edge, independent state or personal vision, in order to produce strong and engaging art. Another consideration was to highlight art institutions postioned outside the centers that serve their communities with new and innovative programming, and invite their participation. Dan Mills from the Samek Art Gallery at Bucknell University, Michael Tomor from the Southern Alleghenies Art Museums and John Vanco from the Erie Art Museum agreed to collaborate in the organization and curation of the project. Each participating institution will present the exhibition over the course of the next two years.

While the general motivation for the exhibition grew out of personal experience, our focus on regional artists and institutions is tied to a growing trend seen within the art world. Over the course of the last decade, large-scale reoccurring art exhibitions have been held in places as economically, politically and culturally diverse as Havana, Johannesburg, Istanbul and Shanghai. These exhibitions afford artists from those regions and abroad not only visibility in the international art world, they also shine a light on the city itself as a cultural destination. They promote diversity and business while drawing attention to the distinctiveness of local and regional culture. While

Outside the Centers/On the Edge does not cast as wide a net as these international exhibitions, it does seek to emphasize regional cultural strengths and artistic resources. So what does "outside the centers, on the edge" look like? We selected fifteen artists who work in a variety of media and with a host of different subject matter as being representative of the exhibition's theme. The three photographers we selected create work within art historical genres - landscape, portraiture and still life - but do so by representing places, people and things seen throughout the state. Christine Welch photographs the crossroads that exist between the natural and the manufactured environments of the region. Her images not only depict the physical terrain, they also reveal the tension and irony that exists at the intersection of these two worlds. Shauna Frischkorn makes images of teenage boys playing video games. She photographs them illuminated by the glow of the television screen as they stare at the often-violent games they play. Although they are engaged in a task that requires great focus and attention, the boys wear blank and ironically passive expressions. Robert Raczka's interests are in the material culture of the everyday world. He photographs found arrangements of things that we produce, acquire, and display as a way of revealing something about himself and the creators of these groupings. Other artists working two-dimensionally employ a variety of media and strategies. Carl Gustafson's large oil paintings explore the notion of time and transition within a bounded space. His part beast/part ghost figures appear to struggle to move within the seemingly calm painted interiors that surround them. N. Sarangoulis's mixed media drawings and book objects use found paper and book pages as a starting point for her work. She combines discarded materials with drawn and painted elements, 6

creating work that seems both old and new, and reveals and conceals intensely personal narratives. Kristofer Harzinski's "Departure" series is made up of hand cut plans of some of the nation's largest airports. The project turns the confusing interplay of those spaces, buildings, planes and people into clean, beautiful and fragile objects. In an era when public spaces such as these have become politically charged arenas, Harzinski's work raises timely questions about personal freedom and collective responsibility. A wide array of media, methods and strategies are applied by the artists working three-dimensionally as well. David Collins transforms the traditional and familiar vessel form of the ceramic teapot into a sculptural object by playing with scale and combining multiple materials with clay. By doing so, he explores material relationships and also raises questions regarding function and utility. Christina Bothwell uses cast glass as her primary medium. Each of her translucent figurative forms features an inner cavity that she fills with other mysterious forms and objects. The inherent nature of the material allows her to experiment with not only the optical effects of glass, but its metaphorical properties as well. As a result, her sculptures are psychologically charged, and speak to issues of containment and vulnerability. Rebecca Strzelec creates objects employing current industrial technology. Designing on the computer and using rapid prototyping to shape her work, she creates wearable pieces of jewelry out of plastiC resin that physically attach to and interact with the surface of the body. The overall shapes and forms are derived by echoing the part of the body part on which the sculptural form sits. Bone, muscle and ligament are suggested through these delicate-looking but physically strong objects. Artists also use installation-based practices to build work. Mark Wondsidler combines found objects of various shapes, sizes and functions to create mysterious and intriguing forms. Using an additive process, he explores relationships between individual objects and their overall arrangement, while also drawing attention to the personal history of each component. Georgette Veeder examines the relationships which exist between two- and three-dimensional space through the creation of large, cast paper installations that reference the natural environment. Real and illustionistic space is explored though the juxtaposition of floor-bound objects that are placed in front of relief elements that

hang from the wall. Suzanne Farris focuses on tangible and intangible aspects of environment. Memory, space, privacy and aspects of comfort are some of the issues her sensory-loaded installations address. Daniel Burke's large mixed-media wall installation also activates the senses through intense repetition of bird forms and the human-made environments they often inhabit. Public art projects are also represented in Outside the Centers/On the Edge. Amara Geffen provides photo documentation of an ongoing collaborative project made with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and regional students. "Read Between the Signs" uses recycled road signs to form a large-scale sculptural relief that mimics the surrounding landscape of the Allegheny Mountains. The project is not only tied to the natural environment in which it sits, but also to the hearts and minds of its community members. Lisa Austin's public art project is more intimate in approach than Geffen's, but is no less powerful. Documentation of "Child Garden for the ICU" shows her design of an environment which can be placed around a child's bed to soften the clinical setting of the intensive care unit. She has created a full scale model of the deSign, a table top version, and is currently working on having this piece mass-produced for use in hospitals. Travel to the periphery involves a commitment of time and energy, which means that these regiOns may often be overlooked due to the relative inconvenience of simply getting there. We also live in an age in which we can know about a place or feel connected to a person through the push of a button or the click of a mouse. In spite of these factors, this exhibition suggests that the journey outside of the centers is worth the experience, and the artists who choose these locations and the work they produce are full of possibilites, not limitations.

Lisa Austin

For months, my daughter was a patient in an intensive care unit. At first, my consciousness was limited to my child. What began as an emergency, evolved into a bizarre normalcy. Despite balloons and stuffed animals, the environment was starkly clinical. Without darkness or quiet, there was no night. Because of the danger of infection, plants were absent. Televisions were plentiful; windows were scarce. Suffering was expected. In this semi-public arena, children recovered or died. I witnessed a medical culture that effectively focused on the child's body and rendered parents irrelevant. The Child Garden for the fCU brings a fictional nature into the intensive care unit. The original 6' tall, wood, steel, and Formica sculpture proved too large for hospital use. Redesigned at quarter-scale for rotational足 molding manufacture, the Child Garden for the fCU will attach to existing hospital tray-tables. With seven slightly varied, stylized plant forms, the artwork will offer a quiet visual oasis to patients and their families. While researching grants and searching for a suitable non-profit partner to accept profits from this project, I've collaborated with Alisa Dix and Jeffrey Brunner to publish a booklet version of the Child Garden for the fCU.

In my work, I am drawn to the processes of birth, death, and renewal. What lies below the surface fascinates me and I try to capture the qualities of the "unseen" that express the sense of wonder that I feel in my daily existence. I am attracted to glass because it can do everything that other sculptural mediums can; in addition, it offers an inner space and transmits light. My subject matter includes babies, animals, and children as they embody the essence of vulnerability that is the underlying theme in my work.

Christina L. Bothwell Currently I am exploring metamorphosis as a topic, and have been incorporating figures within figures in my pieces. Within each glass figure there is a smaller figure seen through the surface of the glass. I think of these pieces as souls, each being pregnant with their own potential, giving birth to new, improved versions of themselves.

â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ Of a feather is a display. It is an arrangement of parts and sections about a topic that I began exploring about four or five years ago. At the time, I was often visited by birds as I ate lunch on my studio rooftop. Initially, I shared scraps of bread with the birds and this feeding gradually gave way to intense observation and eventually to photographs, drawings, and painted studies of them. The observation inspired library work on birds - research on their types, flight patterns, habitat, etc. I eventually began making and playing with parts - lots of parts: paintings of trees, foliage, ground covers, and bird forms - both resting and flying. The parts were cut out and painted then placed on domino shapes or backed with clothes-pins so that they could be placed anywhere. The parts grew into bird facades and cutouts of fences, poles, bushes and gates (places for them to perch). I eventually had enough material so that I could begin to organize the elements. While arranging the individual parts, the overall artwork demonstrated its needs: some of the original parts and sections were taken away while other new pieces were made and added to the final assemblage. While I continue to explore other bird displays, I am currently working on parts that will go into pieces about vessel forms, musical instruments, funerary flowers, and gated gardens.

From utilitarian object to fine art, the role of the ceramic vessel has undergone many changes throughout history. Many things, ranging from the Industrial Revolution to the theories found in Modernist and Post-Modernist thinking, have prompted these changes. In a fine art context, the vessel has become an arena of exploration similar to that of other art media. My interests lie in what constitutes the function of "the vessel" both socially and in terms of utility.

David T. Collins Regarding the Functility series, the artist/ potter imposed function of each piece is that of "vehicle." A vehicle that sheds its utilitarian premise to self referentially ponder its own utilitarian role by manifesting itself and therefore examining itself through the eyes of "other than ceramics" structures, materials, and systems. This "vessel role playing" proposes what I see as the inherent properties of the ceramic vessel: space, function, and utility. This "role playing" or hybridization also examines the constructs of language and identity with regard to art, objecthood, and craft by attempting to de-center or test the constructs of our own expectations of what a teapot "should be." My intention is for these pieces to serve as an exercise or examples of what "can be."

When I wake up in the middle of a dream, I remember almost every足 thing; the color of the room, the person walking by, the smell of the air, the direction of the light, and the way I am moving within it. I believe our memories are similarly constructed. It is the blending of time, event, objects, and environment that constructs a permanent impression on our conscious and subconscious mind. To me, this combination of events and impressions that happen in our dreams and waking lives is recorded within our memories and combined to create a notion of place. I define place as where we live, how we feel, what we believe is important and insignificant, it is the core of who we are, and the locations we inhabit.

Suzanne Faris I am interested in exploring this multiplicity that exists within the depths of the places within myself, and my perception of who and what surrounds me. The work I am currently doing is intended to engage the viewer through the construction of the essence of a place, event, or circumstance influenced more heavily, through concept and construction, by memory and impression than rational organization. I could not see or hear any足 one else, but I was gradually aware of an unpleasant breathing noise, which ... 2005 fabric, wood, graphite, lighting, text, recorded sound 25 x 3 x 8 feet PLATE 5

G ame Boys is an ongoing portrait series of young men engaged in a familiar pastime - they are playing video games. For the past two years, I have been photographing video game players who come to my studio, sit in the dark, and play for hours while I quietly watch and shoot. The studio setting lends a theatrical quality to this commonplace activity. Sometimes, I watch the game to see a particularly interesting sequence, but mostly I just watch the game players. I seek to explore the popular culture phenomenon of video games by examining the "garners" who play them. Because my work is rooted in the tradition of portrait photography, I look beyond the hype surrounding video games and focus on the players themselves. Traditionally, the belief has been that a portrait could tell us a great deal about a subject: a window into a person's inner character could be found through facial expressions. Although the expressions on my subjects may appear to be passive, the garners in these photographs are actually performing fast-paced maneuvers and executing split-second decisions, making these portraits of intense concentration.

F abricated from recycled road signs, Read Between the Signs (RBTS) screens the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's (PennDOT's) storage lot in Meadville, PA. RBTS depicts the landscape of the French Creek watershed and local features such as Allegheny College's Bentley Hall, Conneaut Lake Park, and the Thurston Classic Balloon Race. Celebrating the landscape, environment, and community of Crawford County, this sculptural relief represents a collective, cognitive map of our community, while demonstrating creative reuse.

Amara Geffen The project, a partnership between Amara Geffen, PennDOT and Allegheny College, is a community based, collaborative, environmental art installation. Since 2002, when the project began, annual charettes involving over 100 collaborators have been held to gather community input. Allegheny College and community interns, hired with support from Allegheny College's Center for Economic and Environmental Development (CEED), then set up shop at the local PennDOT facility spending eleven weeks in residence each summer. Under the direction of artist, this team then works to refine and implement community designs, fabricating between 100-250 feet of the project each summer. To date 730 feet have been produced; when completed Read Between the

Signs will reach its full scale of 1,200 x 10 feet. For additional information visit: http://ceed.allegheny.edu/CEED/ A&E/home.html

Carl Gustafson Inthese paintings it is my intention to create a new experience in the way of looking at life. I am searching for ways to visually represent the extremes humanity is emotionally and physically capable of. It is my hope that the viewer will relate to these images in a similar way, while also drawing their own conclusions and applying them to their own life.

T he Departure Series presents the 17 largest airports in the United States. Each object is an accurate map of the airport's runways, taxiways, hangars, and terminals hand-cut from paper.

Kristofer Harzinski

Airports are spaces we all have in common. They hold onto us for a temporary pit stop on a long journey. They are curious, intermediate zones only slightly different from one another. Each airport vaporously reflects its location. There is slight diversity, a distance between here and home, but immediately we recognize most of the elements. We know this place. We understand what to do here, even though we have never been here before. While there for a few hours or just a few minutes, we momentarily come into contact with thousands of people. People who normally have nothing in common, today, are briefly joined in a single location. People who we will never see again in our lives are seated next to us, waiting, just as we are, for the end of the journey. The paper airport is intricate and fragile. Please realize, your paper airport will not last forever. Yet, it may outlast its more permanent relatives.

These digital photographs reflect my long-standing interest in material culture - the things that we produce, acquire, and arrange for their usefulness and aesthetic qualities. Variously, the photographs in this series depict objects arranged carefully or haphazardly for art students to draw, merchandise offered in stores or store window displays, and miscellaneous collections of items in homes and offices. None of these things were arranged by me or for me, but even the more "transparent" of these photographs include my subjective response that significantly alters the apparent intentions of the people who arranged them.

Robert Raczka The photographs are meant to have a playfully surreal quality. As the largely - but not entirely - practical intentions of the people who arranged them intersect with my aesthetic and conceptual intentions, these photographs say something about me as well as something about the individuals who arranged them and the culture that produced them, though it would be impossible for viewers to accurately disentangle those forces. This does not, in my thinking, constitute a problem.

T he artwork that I am making at this time involves finding discarded and unwanted papers, books, and paintings. I then turn them into new works of art. I draw and paint on top of them, add things to them, resurrect them, and give them a new life. Like a physician, I try to help and heal them, and give them new meanings and purposes. Pages is part of a larger body of work called The Clarence Series. I purchased Clarence's school work at an auction. I don't know him, but I know that he saved all of his homework from grade school through accounting school. I am a collaborator on a grand scale, working with many individuals like Clarence and other unknown artists. I experience a great sense of artistic freedom in making these pieces. I do not judge them; I try to preserve the beauty of unintentional marks and everyday jottings. I try to enhance them and contribute to them and make them into artworks that are not the product of an individual ego, including my own.

Inmy latest series, I have taken inspiration from early botanical illustrations creating abstracted orchid corsages. These pieces provide a lasting, current day alternative to commercial floral accessories while also commenting on the idea of preciousness and rarity. Other recent works in this exhibition represent a continuing investigation of how wearable objects interact with the surface of the body. Using a variety of medical adhesives and wound-treatment devices, the brooches are worn directly on the skin.

Rebecca Strzelec All of my work is created in the digital environment using computer-aided design. When using the computer as a medium, one is not just given a new set of materials or tools but an entirely new method of construction. When the creative process is complete within the CAD environment, the objects are realized tangibly through the use of rapid prototyping. Rapid prototyping involves various computer-controlled machines that translate CAD data into tangible objects. The objects are built, layer upon layer, in various plastics and photosensitive resins.

M y source of inspiration is the topography and colors in the landscape.

I find the forms, shapes, textures and colors around me fascinating. And,

I am intrigued that I can transform natural fibers into positive shapes and

sculptural forms.

I created Langue du Viable to evoke a strong feeling of self in space.

I incorporated floor and wall pieces to create an environment. The three足

dimensional elements encourage you to relate to the size and scale of the

sculptural forms. The wall relief invites you to come in and participate

in defining my fantasy.

Georgette L. Veeder I make paper from shredded cotton rags that I soak and beat in water with a Hollander-type beater to hydrate the cellulose and separate the individual fibers. The basic color of my paper is due to the original color of the cotton rags themselves but I also sometimes add additional pigment to the pulp. For this installation, I made the original pieces in clay and then produced rubber molds from the clay originals. I then pressed my wet pulp into the rubber molds. Once dried, I airbrushed some areas with acrylic. My use of recycled cotton rags to make my paper is consistent with my commitment to the environment. I use handmade rag paper because it is ecologically friendly and historically genuine. I am always discovering new potentials in handmade paper and at the same time I am developing sensitivity to its limitations. It is this balance that defines my creative expression.

W hen I took my first art history course, I was fascinated by artists who represented the sublime, the awe-inspiring, by reducing it to wall-sized two dimensionality and hanging it in a museum. The fact that I was seeing the work of Friedrich, Church, Cole, and others as photographic reproductions in a warm darkened room increased the irony. During a visit to Olana, Church's home on the Hudson, I learned that the land足 scape, which he saw from each room in his house, was carefully planted to create the most perfectly framed view possible.

There is an amusing human impulse, to reduce everything we encounter to a more manageable scale and behavior. Consider the development of the frontier. First, over the horizon we saw a virgin wilderness. In order to get there more easily (always a human concern), we dig up stuff from one place and put it in another and make a road. Then we moved some more stuff; trees, rocks, more dirt; and reassembled it into shelters, from which we can see what is left of the wilderness. After we have removed as much of the uncomfortable and dangerous as we can, we replant the whole place with manageable vegetation, give it a name like Stonehenge or Deer Run, and stick some cement animals on the lawn to make it look more like what? The wilderness. Over all this activity is that last vestige of the sublime, the sky that threatens storm, drought, flood, blistering heat or razor sharp cold.

Recently, the poet Ann Lauterbach described poiesis as the making of examples. The poem, she said, is on the table between us. It's invisible. Like faith or love, I only know what it is by what you show me, by what you do. In my practice, the details of material form are always in relation to a broader context. This model is inescapably metonymic: a string of visible parts or actions point toward an unseen idea. In Variant I, these actions include choosing, painting or not painting, and arranging. The form is a field of permutations: old, new, circular, oval, square, touched, untouched, large, small. Each object is a version of the next, asserting and questioning the criteria which draw it into this constellation. The second Variant is a smaller sequence chosen by size and color. Limited rather than

permutational, its truncated order demands that each object surrender its identity to pattern. In the third piece, Puzzle Box for Emily Dickinson, form is an open-ended sequence. The components of the piece remain un-fixed, re-arrangeable. Each new composition of the parts changes the last, and suggests a future of unnumbered variations. The form is composed between examples.
