2018 Artist in Residence Biennial + Berkana: Eleanna Anagnos

January 11 - February 11, 2018

The presence of acclaimed artists—who have lived and worked in major cultural centers across the country—enhances the educational opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the University of Tennessee School of Art. With daily contact over the course of a full semester, resident artists develop a unique relationship with the student body which complements the creative stimulation offered by guest lecturers and the School of Art’s faculty. Representing diverse ethnic, cultural, educational, and professional backgrounds, these resident artists introduce another layer of candor and a fresh artistic standard for the students who, though early in their formal art studies, are beginning to develop their own perceptions, skills, and theories in connection with the making of art. The 2018 AIR Biennial showcases the work of Dana DeGiulio, Ezra Tessler, Clare Grill, and Caitlin Cherry.

Eleanna Anagnos was born in Evanston, IL. She currently works and resides in Brooklyn, NY. Anagnos received her MFA from Tyler School of Art, Temple University Philadelphia, Pa in 2005 and her BA from Kenyon College in 2002.

“Eleanna’s work is mysterious. And it deserves a thorough look. Her materials and processes are purposefully elusive. There is thought here—you can feel it radiating off the work. Sometimes the work feels like a long meditative breath. Sometimes it feels like a busy mind spinning and rolling thoughts over and over … [T]here is a duality in all of what Eleanna makes. Sometimes that duality is a mirroring effect in the form and sometimes it is within the materials. She makes work on paper and with a sculptural material called Hydrocal that is a gypsum cement. The works on paper exist between painting and drawing and the works in Hydrocal are both paintings and sculptures and yet not fully either.”_ Kelly McCafferty, The Coastal Post

Common Lineage: The Bensons

January 11 - February 9, 2017

Since 2005 Lee Benson, professor of sculpture and ceramics at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee has worked with his wife Betty, and later their four children, Zach, Aaron, Mary, and Sarah to make sculpture and public works. They work mainly in mixed media, the earth, stone, timber, wood, clay and 24k gold producing large-scale architectural forms as well as figurative, narrative monoliths. Residing across the country, they maintain five studios.

The Bensons have produced works from New York City to Australia and have had wide public recognition. They have also recently developed a relationship with Habitat for Humanity and Habitat for Humanity International to use materials used in their sculptures to be repurposed into homes throughout the community.

Their powerful works seem to always declare “We were on this earth!”

Liquid Kingdom: Modeling an Architectural Proving Ground

an exhibition by Smout Allen
November 6 - December 8, 2017

Liquid Kingdom is a speculative design proposal for an environmental 'proving ground' of landscape and architectural installations, sited on the Isle of Sheppey in the Thames Estuary. The project responds to the Isle's unique character, 'shaped by separation, a sense of independence and abrupt contact with nature', and prepares it for the future demands of society and climate change.

68th Annual Student Art Competition

February 23 - March 3, 2015

Begun in 1947 by C. Kermit Ewing, founder of The University of Tennessee School of Art, the annual student exhibition has become one of the oldest competitions in the country and one of the highlights of the Ewing Gallery's exhibition season. This competition has been an outlet for UT's talented students for 66 years, wherein countless works of art of every form and medium have been displayed and applauded by The University and Knoxville community.

The selection of a student art exhibition is a challenging but meaningful task, and we are grateful for this year's jurors Dr. Jana Emmer, Art History; Phong Bui, Fine Arts; and DJ Trischler, Graphic Design. Our jurors not only select the works of art in the show, but award all prizes as well.

Distilled: The Narrative Transformed

November 11 - December 13, 2015

Inspired by place and process, Herbert's work is a spirited exploration in color and line derived from the sights, sounds, and energies of the two principal cities – Memphis and New York – in which this body of work was created. Graffiti-like gestures scrawl atop digital prints, which are collaged and integrated into his paintings. In this 30-year survey, we follow Pinkney Herbert on his transformative journey from the narrative into abstraction.

Four x Four

July 1 - July 27, 2012

Media and subject matter were not stipulated at the outset of this exhibition. The pieces on display, therefore, represent an honest ‘work sample’ from a talented segment of the UT community whose artistic skills might otherwise remain unrecognized outside of their duties as staff members. The exhibitors are: Mike C. Berry, Manager of the UT Downtown Gallery; Jessie Van der Laan, UT Print Shop Tech; and Sarah McFalls and Jennifer Stoneking -Stewart, Ewing Gallery staff.

These four artists currently create work that represents a distortion of the natural landscape and addresses the relationship we often have with the idea of "place."

CONFABULATORES NOCTURNI

somewhere between sunset and sunrise

From these two incontrovertible premises he deduced that the Library is total and that its shelves register all the possible combinations of the twenty-odd orthographical symbols - a number which, though extremely vast, is not infinite.
- Excerpt from "The Library of Babel" by Jorge Luis Borges
Ce8, Cg7, Ch5, Cf6, Ce4, Ch1 | The CABANON exists somewhere between sunset and sunrise. They are fictions that draw their primary motivation from Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopédie. The visual equivalent to the Library of Borges, the Encyclopédie serves as a visual taxonomy of all human knowledge catalogued under the three primary branches of memory, reason, and imagination – past, present, and future. Is it possible that the volumes of the Encyclopédie possess all of our collective spatial fictions? Through the narrative morphosis of collage, each CABANON acquires the personality of a scribe. New fictions surface. Arranged in a columbarium-like wall, the communicative structure between these scribes emerges as a contemplation of the enigmatic Knight's Tour. This ancient and cryptic geometry becomes at times a thanatopsis, at times a colloquy between divines.

LIMITED VISION: MIKE WSOL

Being affected by the housing market crash made me aware of how it has changed the American perception of capitalism and I became painfully aware of the clarity of hindsight and the strength of privileged information.
This theme was explored through the architecture of World War II and Cold War concrete bunkers, watch towers, vaults and subterranean spaces. My sculptures suggest a state that is both permanent and obsolete. I played with the experience of space, engaging the viewer's curiosity to explore and discover the mental and psychological spaces created by the artworks.
The work explored the tension of forced perspectives through narrow horizontal slits and small windows punctuating the walls of the sculptures. A bunker-like sculpture takes the form of an armor mask in human scale; a thirteen foot tower camouflaged in a digital vinyl wrap of trees and nature, articulated by a tiny entry way plays with human scale and the imagination of what it would be like to be inside. Other sculptures allow the viewer limited access to interior stairways and passages - some employing interior lighting that guides the viewer's experience of the byzantine interior.

Pencil Pushed

September 17 - October 28, 2012
curated by Creighton Michael

In this exhibition, the word pencil functions simply as a metaphor or symbol for drawing and its activity. The artists selected are known for their drawing or drawing activity as their primary means of expression and have either pushed the material, process, or boundary of conventional drawing. Media included video, sculpture, animation, installation, and of course, works on paper. This exhibition is neither a survey nor the definitive grouping of mark-making artists. It is more a conversation about artists who have and continue to explore these regions in drawing. The diversity of the exhibition favored mid-career artists, but ranged from emerging to late.

Featured artists in Pencil Pushed are: William Anastasi, William Pittman Andrews, Caroline Burton, Elisa D'Arrigo, Mary Reid Kelley, Sharon Louden, Jennifer Macdonald, Peter Mollenkof
Darcy Brennan Poor, Bill Richards, Beatrice Riese, Hilda Shen
Drew Shiflett, Stephen Talasnik, and Sam Vernon

Rhapsody in K-dron

November 1 - 15, 2012

Janusz Kapusta, an acclaimed Polish artist who lives in New York City, will lecture on his work, which will be presented as an exhibition in the Ewing Gallery. The lecture and exhibition is jointly sponsored by the College of Architecture and Design, the School of Art, and the Marek Maria Pienkowski Foundation.

Rhapsody in K-Dron will be a two and three dimensional installation, featuring a model of the K-Dron. The K-Dron is the geometrical form defined by its complexity and subtly. Discovered by Janusz Kapusta in 1985 and patented in 1987, the name K-Dron originates from K, the 11th letter of the alphabet, and GK-EDRON, the Greek word for surface. Being both a remarkably simple and complex structure, its basic form has a square base, 11 multifaceted sides and a diamond-shaped face with a 45-degree angle of inclination. Janusz Kapusta has developed K-Dron’s versatility to invent the K-Dron game in which 8 K-Drons of two colors (black and white) can be manipulated to produce patterns of up to 38,416 possible combinations.

This exhibition is held in honor of Polish Independence Day on November 11th. The exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the Marek Maria Pienkowski Foundation with additional support from the UTK College of Architecture and Design the UTK School of Art, and the Ewing Gallery.

Quadrivium

November 18 - December 16, 2012

Quadrivium is Latin for "the four ways" or "the place where four roads meet" and was used during the Renaissance Period to describe the four subjects -- arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy -- that were taught after teaching the trivium.

For this exhibition, we are using Quadrivium to describe Knoxville and the School of Art as the place where artistic roads, and artists have met.

Quadrivium features the work of the four most recent additions to the faculty of the School of Art. We are pleased to exhibit work by Joshua Bienko, drawing; Evan Meaney, transmedia design; Althea Murphy-Price, printmaking; and Karla Wozniak, painting.

Sanford Wurmfeld: Ecyclorama

September 11 - OCtober 27, 2011

Wurmfeld has always concentrated his artistic interest on the experience of color. Seeing the Panorama Mesdag in 1981 in The Hague, Netherlands, inspired Wurmfeld to create a non-representational 360-degree painting, an idea for a work seemingly no one else had accomplished at that time. By 1989 he completed a 1/5-scale model for what would eventually becomeCyclorama 2000, a circular structured painting in the round based on the color circle at full saturation. This work was com- missioned and later purchased by the Karl Ernst Osthaus Museum in Hagen, Germany, under the leadership of the former director, Michael Fehr. By 2006, Wurmfeld was making plans for E-Cyclorama.

The E-CyClorama
• The E-Cyclorama is an ellipse. • The length of its major interior axis is 30.68 feet.
• The length of its minor interior axis is 26.6 feet.
• The painted top of the painted canvas is 8.5 feet tall.
• The circumference of the painting is 90 feet.
• The painting's surface area is 675 square feet. • The painting uses 109 hand-mixed colors.
• The E-Cyclorama was painted over a year-and-a-half period from January 2007 to May 2008.
• The E-Cyclorama debuted at the Edinburgh College of Art during the Edinburgh Festival from July-September 2008. It later appeared at a second venue, The Neuberger Museum, SUNY Purchase, May-July 2009.
• The earlier Cyclorama 2000, circular in design, is owned by the Karl Ernst Osthaus Museum in Hagen, Germany. It was exhibited there from November 2000 - March 2001.
• The Cyclorama 2000 and the E-Cyclorama are the only two known non-representational 360-degree paintings.

With daily contact over the course of a full semester, resident artists develop a unique relationship with the student body which complements the creative stimulation offered by guest lecturers and the School of Art’s faculty. Representing diverse ethnic, cultural, educational, and professional backgrounds, these resident artists introduce another layer of candor and a fresh artistic standard for the students who, though early in their formal art studies, are beginning to develop their own perceptions, skills, and theories in connection with the making of art.

Therefore, the Ewing Gallery has sponsored group exhibitions of these artists since the inception of the Artist In Residence Program in 1982.

Currently held every two years, this exhibition provides a continuing dialogue between artist-teacher and student. The Artist In Residence Biennial also offers our general university and regional community an opportunity to experience a provocative and often challenging exhibition of contemporary art.

Honors Exhibition 2010

Selected by a School of Art Faculty Committee, seven art students from various disciplines were chosen from 12 qualifying applicants for this year’s exhibition. These seven are Jo Beth Richards, Sonja Foard, Derek Whitlock, Bethany Robertson, John Phillips, Leslie Hatten, and Megan Ford.
