"a show dealing with the concepts of space; both figurative and literal explorations by local Reno artists. Not just a show about space ships- it's about the interaction with the existence of the intangible."

Eunkang Koh Exhibition

Sheppard Fine Arts Gallery
Church Fine Arts Building
University of Nevada, Reno

Nov. 19 - Dec. 14, 2007
exhibition: Eunkang Koh

Nov. 29 - Opening lecture and reception

Sheppard Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition that will feature the artwork of new University of Nevada, Reno Art Department faculty member Eunkang Koh. A brochure catalog will also be available. Ms. Koh was hired in 2006 to revive the Department’s printmaking area. Her prints and books include various methods: traditional and digital printmaking as well as non-toxic processes. Fascinated with human nature and heavily influenced by her upbringing in Buddhism, Confucianism and Korean belief, Ms. Koh’s narrative prints center on human/animal combinations of fantastical new creatures, participating in a world where “they exist without knowing who and how they are,” as Ms. Koh writes in her artist statement. Ms. Koh holds a BA and MA from Hong-Ik University in Seoul, Korea and a MFA from California State University, Long Beach.

Anthony Alston: Inertia Displaced

November 12- December 21, 2007
Grayspace
26 Cheney Street
Reno

"Focusing on disrupted patterns and sporadic actions, the exhibition itself functions as an interruption—or acceleration—of a gallery's typical cycle; every two weeks of the exhibition, different work replaces the previous pieces. While visitors can expect to see works in video, sculpture, and sound, their experience will undoubtedly be different depending upon which phase is currently on display."

Courtenaye | Livezey | Shiroma

STREMMEL GALLERY
1400 South Virginia Street
Reno, Nevada 89502

Tel: (775) 786-0558

Catherine Courtenaye + Dale Livezey + Randall Shiroma

October 25 -November 17, 2007
reception: Thursday, October 25
5:30 - 7:30 pm

Catherine Courtenaye's work is based on her exploration of 19th century penmanship. She states that "vestiges of elementary mark-making (alphabets, animals, equations) serve as counterpoints to my looser treatment of line, edge and space. These paintings navigate between the rigors of perfect lines from the past and my own
imperfect brushes, loaded with sensuous color."

Dale Livezey's paintings convey the colors and phenomenon of early morning or late afternoon light on the seemingly endless landscape in his native Montana.

Randall Shiroma is a sculptor who works in stone and terrazzo, creating sculpture that evokes the elements and forms of nature. His polished and patinated concrete sculptures seem to reflect the mountains, sky and water, creating their own sense of presence, revealing his search for the nature of being.
