Throughout their program, students work with advisers and other artists to develop advanced techniques, expand concepts, discuss critical issues, and emerge with a vision and direction for their own work. Pieces in the exhibition are selected with curatorial assistance by Jim Rittimann, Henry Art Gallery head preparator and exhibition designer.

In Ruin: Architectural Photographs from the Permanent Collection highlights the enduring appeal of architectural ruins and the desire to capture the demise, decay, and impending destruction of man-made structures. This exhibition explores issues of memory, monumentality, and the picturesque through a selection of historical and contemporary photographs spanning from the 1860s to the end of the 20th century. In Ruin features work by John Divola, Alexander Gardner, Joel Sternfeld, and others culled from the Henry’s photography collection.
Organized for the Henry by Merith Bennett, Senior Curatorial Associate.

Gary Hill is internationally renowned as a pioneer in video, sound art, performance, and installation. For over four decades he has produced highly experiential works, both rigorous and sensual, that defy convention and expand consciousness. Central to his work is the relationship between the body, as a means of perceiving the world, and language, as a means of making perception concrete. glossodelic attractors includes over a dozen works that investigate how visual and verbal communication are experienced at the phenomenological level, and how that experience creates meaning.

This year’s recipient of The Brink Award is Andrew Dadson from Vancouver, BC. This presentation, the first solo museum exhibition of Dadson’s work, explores the artist’s intensive fascination with the material and the metaphor of the monochrome. His photographs of lawns painted solid black or white focus on the urban environment as a zone rife with borders; these works suggest voids that have become part of a mysterious, and possibly contentious, narrative.

WRITING WORKSHOP
Hugo to the Henry: Writing with Visual Art
REGISTER FOR THIS CLASS
Class meets Thursdays
July 12 -August 16, 5-7 p.m. at the Henry
Instructor: Anca Szilagyi
Hugo House and Henry Art Gallery Members: $207.00
General Public: $230.00
This Hugo House class uses visual art as a springboard for writing. We’ll mine a range of media (photographs, paintings, sculpture, textiles, etc.) to unearth new prose projects or add depth and breadth to works in progress. To help with the creative percolation, we’ll read short published works that have been inspired by visual art. Exercises, readings and discussions will cover process, character, story, landscape (internal and external) and style. Students will be able to workshop one short-short story or essay. Optional text: “Looking Together: Writers on Art,” ed. Rebecca Brown and Mary Jane Knecht (Frye Art Museum & University of Washington Press).
Co-presented by Hugo House and the Henry.
