SUMMARY:Here Is Where We Meet: Dennis Congdon & Susan Lichtman
DESCRIPTION:** This exhibition is temporarily suspended. \nHere Is Where We Meet features large-scale paintings and works on paper by Dennis Congdon and Susan Lichtman. \nThe artists’ styles are decidedly distinct and yet united by the deliberate attention given to the way in which a painting is constructed. Congdon makes playfully saturated works with the use of a stencil template. Lichtman is a figurative painter of domestic spaces who understands the practice of painting to be a “life of the mind.”  Here is Where We Meet looks at how each artist riffs on the language of painting as well as the written word. \nThroughout the exhibition\, writers and poets will be invited to respond to the visual works.  Curator Laurel Sucsy states\, “I am inspired by the relationship between painters and poets and how artists working in each discipline use the other for inspiration and structure.” \nIn the month of April\, the gallery will host a poetry night during which a collection of responses will be presented to the public. \nCurated by Laurel Sucsy\nThis LifeWorks exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Don Pelts Memorial Foundation. \n Dennis Congdon:\nDennis Congdon holds a BFA in Painting from RISD and an MFA from Yale. In 1983\, he won the Prix de Rome and became a Fellow at the American Academy in Rome.  He has taught painting and drawing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Tyler School of Art and has been on the faculty at RISD since 1984. In 2003\, he received a Guggenheim Foundation fellowship\, and in 2010\, he received RISD’s John R. Frazier Award for Excellence in Teaching.  \nCongdon’s work has been exhibited widely. Since 2013\, he has had three solo shows in New York City: CUE Foundation in 2013 (curated by Stanley Whitney\,); Horton Gallery in 2014 ; and “Congeries” at Zieher Smith and Horton Gallery in 2015. In 2015\, his large work “Hummocks” was included in the James and Audrey Foster Prize Exhibition at the ICA Boston (curated by kijidome). \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\nAbout Susan Lichtman:\nSusan Lichtman is a figurative painter of domestic spaces\, working out of her home studio in southeastern Massachusetts. She is the Charles Bloom Professor of the Arts of Design at Brandeis University\, where she has taught painting and drawing since 1980.  \nLichtman received her undergraduate degree from Brown University and an MFA in Painting from Yale University School of Art.

SUMMARY:Scott Carter: Counterpoint
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibition of new work by Scott Carter. The artist’s intent is that this body of work reflects a fragile intertwining of music\, performance\, and sculpture while reflecting both digital and intuitive methods of problem solving in the studio. \nAbout the exhibition:\nThis exhibition emphasizes a relationship between disparate voices. As a metaphor\, these\nvoices represent contrasting and divergent forms of the artist’s creative practice. Carter’s\ninterest in music\, performance and sculpture oscillates between utter failure\, disinterest and frustration to moments where both practices seemingly make sense existing in the same place\, both physically and metaphorically. This body of work represents the struggle to produce in both creative fields. \nDuring his recent residency at Crosstown Arts\, Carter was allowed the freedom and space to work intuitively and pursue both of these creative endeavors with the assistance of digital tools and advanced fabrication equipment.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception — Scott Carter: Counterpoint
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibition of new work by Scott Carter. The artist’s intent is that this body of work reflects a fragile intertwining of music\, performance\, and sculpture while reflecting both digital and intuitive methods of problem solving in the studio. \nAbout the exhibition:\nThis exhibition emphasizes a relationship between disparate voices. As a metaphor\, these\nvoices represent contrasting and divergent forms of the artist’s creative practice. Carter’s\ninterest in music\, performance and sculpture oscillates between utter failure\, disinterest and frustration to moments where both practices seemingly make sense existing in the same place\, both physically and metaphorically. This body of work represents the struggle to produce in both creative fields. \nDuring his recent residency at Crosstown Arts\, Carter was allowed the freedom and space to work intuitively and pursue both of these creative endeavors with the assistance of digital tools and advanced fabrication equipment.

SUMMARY:Kenturah Davis + Desmond Lewis Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Panel discussion with artists Kenturah Davis and Desmond Lewis. Moderated by Brian R. Jobe.\n\nAfter the discussion\, the public is invited to visit the studio of Desmond Lewis at 3:30pm. His studio is located at 2856 Lamb Place in Memphis.\n\n\n\n\nAbout the show:\nSeed Space + Delta Axis present: Kenturah Davis + Desmond Lewis\n\n\nMemphis artist Desmond Lewis and Kenturah Davis (an artist working between Los Angeles\, New Haven\, and Accra\, Ghana) were selected by Delta Axis and Locate Arts/Seed Space to exhibit their work together based on their innovative sensitivity to material\, their exploration of social and relational content\, and the critical acclaim associated with their work. \nOn view: February 15-March 10 \nDelta Axis and Locate Arts/ Seed Space share a mission to promote contemporary art in Memphis and to connect Memphis to the national arts network. After years of dialogue\, a collaboration between the two organizations is emerging in the form of this exhibition. It features an artist practicing in Memphis (Desmond Lewis) and an artist practicing outside of Tennessee (Kenturah Davis). The two artists were selected to exhibit their work together based on their innovative sensitivity to material\, their exploration of social and relational content\, and the critical acclaim associated with their work. \n\n\nThis two-person show is one in a series of statewide exhibitions\, organized by Locate Arts\, that features Tennessee artists and artists from out of state\, and partners with a local organization. These exhibitions are leading up to a major statewide event: The TN Triennial\, which will be the largest contemporary art exhibition ever to occur in Tennessee. Its impact will be significant\, both economically and socially\, with an enduring effect\, especially on our visual arts community. The TN Triennial will be a celebration of the experience of contemporary art in Tennessee\, and will include works by renowned artists from inside and outside of the state. The curator has been selected\, important venues are signed up and the dates are set. More information will be released this spring. \nAbout the artists:\nKenturah Davis is an artist working between Los Angeles\, New Haven\, and Accra (Ghana). Her work oscillates between various facets of portraiture and design. Using text as a point of departure\, she explores the fundamental role that language has in shaping how we understand ourselves and the world around us. This manifests in a variety of forms including drawings\, sculpture\, and performances. Davis was commissioned by LA Metro to create large-scale\, site-specific work that will be permanently installed on the new Crenshaw/LAX rail line\, opening fall 2019. Her work has been included in institutional exhibitions in Africa\, Asia\, Australia and Europe. Davis earned her BA from Occidental College and MFA Yale University School of Art. \nDesmond Lewis is a sculptor who was born and raised in Nashville\, TN. Lewis received his AA from Bard College at Simon’s Rock in Great Barrington\, MA in 2012\, BS from Tennessee State University in Nashville\, TN in 2014\, and MFA from The University of Memphis in 2017. Selected group exhibitions include Current Collapse at Ruddell Gallery in 2017 in Spearfish\, SD\, Price is Right at David Lusk Gallery in 2017 in Memphis\, TN\, Equality Matters at Mildred Cox Gallery in 2017 in Fulton\, MO\, and The Collective Presents: Liberation at the Clough-Hanson Gallery at Rhodes College in 2018 in Memphis\, TN. Public and private collections include the Penland School of Crafts\, Carolina Bronze Sculpture Park\, City of Lenoir\, NC\, City of Hickory\, NC\, Vermont Carving and Sculpture Center\, The University of Memphis\, Soulsville USA\, NexAir LLC\, Skowhegan Parks and Recreation\, and the Stax Museum of American Soul Music. In 2017\, He was named one of the 100 Interesting and Influential People of Memphis.
