CITIES

The Katherine E. Nash Gallery is proud to present CITIES, a multi-media exhibition in which several well-known Twin Cities artists present their images of cities. The exhibition opens January 17 and runs through February 16, 2006. A public reception is scheduled for Friday, January 20 from 6-8:30 pm. All events at the Nash are free and open to the general public.

In conjunction with the exhibition, there will be a panel discussion titled “What is the City?” on Thursday, February 9, at 7 pm in the In-Flux room adjoining the gallery. Professor Ann Forsyth, Dayton Hudson Chair of Urban Design and Director of the Metropolitan Design Center will moderate the panel.

Some of the finest Twin Cities artists will be presenting their impressions of the city through works of art. The range of ideas and the media vary widely from conceptual to observational, from traditional oil painting and photography to installation and computer generated sculpture.

Rochelle Woldorsky, curator of CITIES, comments on the exhibition:

As a city dweller, much of my interest has been in the evolving city, how it has changed, how its past and present and evolution into the future are portrayed by artists. This involves a wide range of interests, from familiar places that no longer exist or are next in line for the wrecking ball to the excitement of changing architectural forms.
