Sunoak Kites Exhibit by James Keown
Photography Exhibit Afghan Daily Life by Steve Connors
Afghan Daily Life – Photography by Steve Connors
Born in Sheffield, England Steve Connors began taking photographs while serving as a British soldier in Northern Ireland in the early 1980s. After leaving the military in 1984 he worked for London newspapers and housing charities, but maintained a preference for photographing the quirkiness of British life. Covering everything from the fall of the Czechoslovakian communist government in 1989 to the break-up of Yugoslavia, later he spent time in Russian and the former Soviert Union, Connors has worked for most of the worlds' newspapers and magazines including Time, Newsweek and The New York Times in the United States; The Guardian, The Observer and The Telegraph in London and in Europe he has worked for Der Spiegel, Stern and Paris Match among others.
In 2001, Connors spent fifteen months in Afghanistan and moved onto Iraq as the 2003 invasion was underway. Of the fourteen months Connors worked in Iraq ¬ from April 2003 to June 2004 ¬ ten months were devoted to filming the documentary Meeting Resistance which he co-reported, directed and produced with fellow photojournalist Molly Bingham. The film, an intimate exploration of the motivations and methodology of Iraqi anti-occupation fighters was Connors¹ directorial debut. Meeting Resistance was released in theatres across the United States in 2007.
This exhibition documents daily life in Afghanistan.

Sunoak Kites - Jim Keown
In the late 1960s Richard Langdon became disillusioned with the US army and left for India to study with wise men. While there, he saw all the local kites and family kite making. One teacher there told him “walk in the woods, swim and do something fun every day”. So, Mr. Langdon moved to a farm in Crawford county Indiana and built a pond and made kites, incorporating his family into the business. In the early 1980s Jim Keown met up with Richard and they became fast friends. As the family retired, Jim started designing and working more closely with Richard. The kites are made in a barn in English Indiana and there is a small trading post on state road 64 open on the weekends. Remember one sky one world! |

Zephyr Gallery announces From the Rim, an exhibit of new paintings by Deborah Thomas, and Leaving Marks, by guest artist David Thomas. The exhibit will run through September 25, 2010.
The First Friday Trolley Hop will be held on September 3, from 6:00- 9:00 pm. Zephyr Gallery is open to the public Wednesday through Saturday 11:00- 6:00 pm.
In her new paintings, Ms. Thomas explores her responses to the canyon lands of southern Utah, specifically Bryce Canyon. The works express the impact of light & color unique to higher elevations and the dynamics of geological formations.
Also showing in the upstairs gallery will be David Thomas. In his show Leaving Marks, Mr. Thomas shares his reexamination of the art making process after an extended hiatus. His work is an eclectic group of small-scale, mixed-media “drawings” from the past year.

The Holding Pattern (2), Archival Print with Screen Print Ink Overlay, 36"x72", 2010 |
Contemporary visual artist Bryce Hudson will exhibit his newest work at The Green Building Gallery. The work is a further exploration into three of his known series The Beauties, The Equinoxes (Equilibrium Deco) and The Holding Pattern.
Following his own philosophy that experimentation and evolution are essential to the development of all artists, Hudson takes his work in new directions while staying true to his themes of identity, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. As he states, “In my opinion, an artist’s worth is based on his or her ability to grow and change with his or her surroundings and to also inspire transformation and progress in others.” With this, he literally takes his work to larger scale, with 6ft screen prints of The Holding Pattern, larger than previous work he has shown.
The exhibit will also feature work from The Equilibrium (Deco) Series and The Beauties. The Equilibrium (Deco) Series is a juxtaposition of two movements in the history of art and design – Minimalism and Rococo – opening up each piece to the viewers’ own interpretations on the depths of decoration, pop art, trend and pattern. Hudson’s work frequently explores balance, symmetry and harmony and their relationship to contemporary society in a post-painterly minimalist style. In The Beauties, the full spectrum of his interest in personal identity within the context of popular culture is intimately illustrated.
The Beauties series explores the conventions of beauty and sexuality and attempts to decipher the impact of these standards through digitally manipulated labels and advertisements. Hudson lives in Louisville and has an extensive exhibition history. His
work is in many important private and corporate collections in the US, South America and China. |

BRIDGES
Bob Halliday & Ted Wathen
Cressman Center for Visual Arts Gallery
Through September 4, 2010
Louisville’s Ohio River bridges are the common subject of a series of paintings by Bob Halliday and photographs by Ted Wathen.
The subject of the bridges is also at the center of a larger debate in the city of Louisville and the surrounding region. An art exhibition, inevitably, places aesthetic considerations front and center within the larger debate by prompting us to examine these structures for the qualities we seek from art: forms that speak to us, reflect our aspirations, and enrich our experience.
Halliday and Wathen co-founded Marketing and Design Systems (a full service marketing & communications company) in 1982. Halliday is retired. Wathen, currently, operates his own business, Quadrant Photography.
Gallery Hours:
Wed. - Fri., 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.; Sat., 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.;
& 1st Fri., 11 a.m. - 9 p.m.
All Cressman Center events are free and open to the public.

First Friday Trolley Hop, 6-9pm
In celebration of women artists and the 90th anniversary of women’s right to vote, Debra Lott of Pyro Gallery announces the invitational exhibit ‘Women Imaging Women’.
Women Imaging Women will showcase a unique, eclectic collection of visual art featuring professional women artists specializing in a variety of media with women as content in their work. These women hail from all walks of life, cultures and generations and are accomplished in a diverse mixture of styles from abstract to photorealist, practicing in an array of media including clay, fabric, mixed media, digital photography, painting and drawing. The show will hang along side of Lott’s new work and new series, Dreams of My Daughter, and new additions to her series that showcase women and children of all races and ages. Dreams of My Daughter focuses on a visual interpretation of her daughter’s graphic descriptions of lucid dreams. The series incorporates two elements; (1) voyeuristic views of her daughter during dream states with subconscious images materializing into reality and (2) images of her daughter experiencing the sensations

Gallery as Multi-Dimensional Map Space
Bouns Day: A Performative Exhibition by Collaboration
Amy Lemaire and Dana Major Kanovitz explore the collaborative studio process in Bonus Day. The artists will create objects together in a week long performance, August 30 – September 3, at Swanson Reed Contemporary, 638 East Market Street in Louisville, KY during regular gallery hours.
A reception on September 3rd, 5 – 8 pm, will feature objects and a 6 pm performance, and the show will hang through September 25th.
Viewers are welcome during the first week of the show to witness the object making, as well as opening night September 3rd, and the ensuing weeks, which will showcase these works.
The artists transform the gallery space into a 3- and 4-dimensional real-time map of inquiry into language, text, meaning, and cognition through objects and performance. . Lemaire and Major Kanovitz explore how art and action facilitate the continually interactive creation of meaning. The art objects serve as map features, and the map key emerges through artist, audience, and object interaction. The viewers plot their own maps as they traverse the gallery space, thereby creating new territory.
Lemaire and Major Kanovitz each maintain a solo studio practice as well as this ongoing collaborative inquiry with each other resulting in objects and performance. Lemaire, based in New York City, works in painting and glass. Major Kanovitz, of Chicago, works in sculpture and performance. For Bonus Day the artists have found themselves engaged in the formal practices of the other. Bonus Day began as intellectual collaboration using source material the artists gathered on an unexpected “bonus” day together after their April 2010 Philadelphia performance.
With numerous awards and an MFA from Pratt, Lemaire (www.AmyLemaire.com) has shown her paintings and glass nationally since 2004. Major Kanovitz (www.DanaMajorKanovitz.com) has shown extensively at the national level since 1995, most recently in a four-person exhibition with Kiki Smith at Wexler Gallery in Philadelphia.

Point Break Live !
Critics and audiences around the nation agree, Point Break LIVE! is the best stage adaptation of an action movie in the history of the world.
Called “Hilarious” by VARIETY and “Uproarious” by the LA TIMES, “Point Break Live!” tells the story of former College-football-star-turned-FBI-agent, Johnny Utah, in pursuit of the surfing, bank robbing, skydiving bare-hand-fighting adrenaline-junkie-Zen-master Bodhi Sattva.Okay as if that weren’t awesome enough, check this out: In Point Break LIVE! the lead role of Johnny Utah is played by an audience member. Yes, anyone can volunteer and step up to the challenge of a grueling (meaning fairly ridiculous) audition process . Using the latest in Applause-o-Meter technology, the winner is chosen by the audience and goes on to star as action hero Johnny Utah for the night, reading all the lines off of cue cards. This method really catches the essential rawness of Keanu Reeves’ acting style. |

Red River: The Narrative Carvings of Edgar Tolson, Donny Tolson, Carl McKenzie and Earnest Patton focuses on the rich variety and quality of Kentucky art and artists. Guest-curated by Larry Hackley, the exhibition features at least 10 major works by each of the four artists, for a total of 46 works in all. The focus is on their narrative work, so most of the carvings are complex, multi-figure scenes, including six Garden of Eden pieces by Edgar Tolson. This traveling exhibition was organized by The Kentucky Folk Art Center at Morehead State University, and was funded in part by a Folklife Program grant from The Kentucky Arts Council. This exhibition is generously sponsored by Brown-Forman and the Arthur K. Smith Family Foundation. |
Fitting for an organization in the heart of the horse industry, Equine Divine features work by two artists, Deborah Butterfield and Tim Flach, who are inspired by our equine companions. There is also be a small selection of equine inspired prints and drawings from the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine and The Purdue University Galleries. The center piece of the exhibition is a foal-sized sculpture titled “Dark Matter” by American sculptor Deborah Butterfield, who is perhaps the best know contemporary equine sculptor. English photographer Tim Flach, who was featured in a documentary on Animal Planet, has traveled the world photographing horses from the race tracks of England, to the stables in Dubai, to the wild landscapes of Scandinavia and the ranches of the American South West. This exhibition is being held in celebration of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, which will be held in Lexington, KY from September 25 – October 10, 2010.
