RHINO presents “Art in a Box” show

September 7, 2009 – 2:15 pm

artinabox postcard frontartinabox postcard back

“Art in a Box” - a national, curated show
October 1st to November 15th
Opening reception: Thursday, October 1st, 5 to 8 p.m.
RHINO Contemporary Crafts Company
Third Floor, Canal Place ,333 Canal St., New Orleans,LA 70130



“Art in a Box”, a curated national exhibit, will open soon at RHINO Gallery in Canal Place. Works by 34 artists showcase the box as an art object in collage, assemblage, and small sculpture. Crafted of wood, paper, paint, fiber, clay, metal, and film-making, these objects combine the austerity of Constructivism with the lively fantasy of Surrealism. Artists use discarded fragments of once-beautiful things, juxtaposed to evoke nostalgia or mystery with accents of sugar, surgical instruments, Mexican fortune telling cards, human hair, old photos, nails and bone .

Some pieces in the show are political or have topical themes; others present enigmatic images. One artist creates holograms that shock and disturb within an austere clay pot; another combines paint, sculpture and stop-motion animation in a boxed stage set of the last scene of “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, with an accompanying  DVD showing the animation. Some boxes have removable wearable brooches as components of the mini-sculpture.

The exhibit opens on Thursday, October lst with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m.; the exhibit closes with a reception on Sunday, November 15th from 3 to 6 p.m.

Participating artists: Betty Diamond Alessandra, Susan Bergman, Charity Rae Burger, Tamra Carboni, Lauren Case, Sabine Chadborn, Cathy Cooper, Cathy De Young, Carrie A. Dyer, Karen Edmunds, Philip Gleason, John Greco, Linda Lesperance, Thomas Mann, Margo Manning, Vitrice McMurry, Chris Menconi, Page Moran, Deborah Morrissey, Caren Nowak, Natalie Nichols, “Miss Oblivious”, Kiki Pettit, Dorit Pittman, Barbara Roberds, Jeffrey C. Roche, Jeffrey Scanlan, Reda Scher, Viviane Schupbach, Carol Scott, Aimee Farnet Siegel, Jim Stratton, Maddie Stratton, Annie Zipkin.
