BEAUTIES
Recent Drawings by Robert Hanson.
PNCA Faculty Emeritus Robert Hanson’s recent drawings are part of his long-term and ongoing fascination with the human head. Hanson employs a variety of lines, marks, and bits of subjective color to reinvent what he is seeing. The resulting drawing is not a portrait, but a surprising variation on the original. A long-time Professor of Painting and Drawing at PNCA, Hanson has remained a vital working artist in the Pacific Northwest since the early ‘70s.image: Robert Hanson, Eye Shadow, 2007.Photo Lommasson Pictures LLC

Molly Dilworth: Dispersion
“Molly Dilworth: Dispersion” is inspired in part by writer and shaman Carlos Castaneda’s The Teachings of Don Juan: “Go first to your old plant and watch carefully the watercourse made by the rain. By now the rain must have carried the seeds far away. Watch the crevices made by the runoff, and from them determine the direction of the flow. Then find the plant that is growing at the farthest point from your plant. All the devil’s weed plants that are growing in between are yours.”Dilworth’s work is a set of experiments—organized into systematic structures—examining how this virtual world, and her brain in it, works. An artist and curator who lives and works in Brooklyn, Dilworth paints “nowhere, limbo, the in-between spaces we’re all getting comfortable with,” she says.

"I know nothing of the weather..."
Curated by Gabrielle Giattino
“I know nothing of the weather when I know it is either raining or not raining.“Works from: Erica Baum, Tom Holmes, Justin Matherly, Andrea Merkx, Jenny Perlin, Vicente Razowith a special project by Ellie Ga. Curated by Gabrielle Giattino
Opening Reception February 26, 6-8pm. Gabrielle Giattino, Ellie Ga, Tom Holmes, and Andrea Merkx in attendance.
The title of this exhibition comes from Wittgenstein’s Tractatus
Logioco-Philosophicus, the carefully regimented series of statements
about the nature of logic. The seven artists in this exhibition
activate strategies that willingly defy the necessary usefulness of
logic and language. They create nuanced works through gestures that
are at turns elegant or absurd, and in so doing affirm poetic and
political possibilities of stretching or even misusing the structures
of language. Using simple operations akin to tautology and
contradiction, the works confirm that language is not a perfect mirror
for the world.
