ThroughSept. 1 - "Tomory Dodge & Denyse Thomasos:Directions to a Dirty Place," organized bySECCA; curated by Steven Matijcio. Paint can beboth the image and the “stuff” of structure, movingbetween representation of place, and placeitself. The work of Denver-born, Los Angelesbasedartist Tomory Dodge and Trinidad-born,New York-based artist Denyse Thomasos slidebetween these poles in highly evocative ways.While much of Dodge’s imagery is drawn fromthings observed during excursions into theCalifornia desert, much is left to fantasy as hismaps move between geography and cosmology.Thomasos creates architecture with, and throughpaint – spanning multiple scales to suggest theblueprints of places half-real, half-imagined.Through Sept. 1 - "Hedieh Javanshir Ilchi: Aleaf from my rose garden," organized by SECCA;curated by Steven Matijcio. This exhibition is presentedwith the support of ART + Islam, a projectof the Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the <strong>Arts</strong> atthe U<strong>NC</strong> School of the <strong>Arts</strong>. The fluid, dream-likenavigation of trans-national iconographies (andtheir attendant ideologies) inform the work ofyoung Iranian-American artist Hedieh JavanshirIlchi. Meeting in the garden paradises of Islamicmyth, she marries contrasting traditions of ornamentalPersian painting with the defiant splattersand pours of Western abstraction. This exhibitiongathers a select grouping of Ilchi’s paintings fromthe past three years, highlighting her increasinglysculptural application of paint, and herincreasingly painterly rendering of politics. At theintersection, figures, animals and armies swimin and out of focus – negotiating a place wherethe borders of aesthetics are redrawn. ThroughSept. 15 - "ReGeneration@: Tomorrow’s Photographer’sToday," showcases young practitionersfocusing on major themes as diverse as theurban environment, globalization, identity andmemory, as well as their hybrid techniques, whichallow them to explore as never before the distinctionbetween reality and fiction.
