Indepth Arts News: "Burn: Artists Play with Fire" 2001-07-07 until 2001-09-23 Columbia Museum of Art Columbia, SC, USA
Technique and theme merge in these dramatic works as artists explore such issues as cultural identity, environmental fragility and personal loss. Some of the featured artists include L.C. Armstrong, Chris Burden, John Cage, Willie Cole, Kathleen Kucka, Leslie Lerner, Ana Mendieta, David Nash, Conrad Marca-Relli, Dennis Oppenheim and George Stoll. These artists utilize a breadth of techniques and mediums, from Ana Mendieta’s haunting photographs that silhouette her body in ash and flame to the ominous charred wood sculptures of David Nash to Willie Cole's resonant scorched images on canvas using a common household iron.
This exhibition is organized by the Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, Florida, and is generously funded, in part, through the Neuberger Berman, LLC Fund at the New York Community Trust with additional support from the Norton Museum’s Michael Rea Endowment for Special Exhibitions. Free Times is the local media sponsor.
