UNIVERSIT Y OF ST.THOMAS
The artists in this exhibit use line, the most basic element of art and design, to illustrate
transition, change, and development. The horizon line appears to be solid but the moment
you move – in any direction – the line is altered. The artists are striving towards their own
“horizon line,” the ever-changing expression of the most basic of all ideas.

The Great Celestial Abstraction:
Chinese Art in the 21st Century
September 6 – October 15, 2011
The Great Celestial Abstraction: Chinese Art in the 21st Century provides a survey of
contemporary abstract painting in China, a practice and set of perspectives that engage
historical, theoretical, and technical concerns. The exhibition was curated by Achille
Bonito Oliva, organized by the China Art Academy with support from the San Chuan
Gallery, Beijing and first presented in April 2010 at the National Art Museum of China,
Beijing. The presentation at the Katherine E. Nash Gallery was developed as part of the
International Exchange program with the University of Minnesota Department of Art, the
Beijing Film Academy, and the Beijing Central Academy of Fine Art. Co-sponsored by
the College of Liberal Arts, the Institute for Advanced Study, and the Institute for Global
Studies.
Artists included in the exhibition: Lei Hong, Liang Quan, Li Huasheng, Li Xiangyang, Liu
Gang, Liu Xuguang, Ma Kelu, Meng Luding, Tan Ping, Xu Hongming, Yu Youhan, Zhang
Hao, Zhang Jianjun, Zhang Yu, Zhou Yangming.
All in all, the Chinese abstract artist creates a border between art and life, a hinge for the
social gaze which can swing back and forth with constant, delicate movement between
the inertia of daily life and the intensity of the aesthetic domain. This is the new Chinese
art, a form of art in joyful movement. —Achille Bonito Oliva

Curse or Calling?, an exhibition sponsored by Christians in the Visual Arts (CIVA), brings
together the work of 31 artists and 37 artworks from 13 states across North America. This
exhibition explores a delightful range of responses to the initial “call for work” and offers
the viewer meaningful encounters with a truly germane topic: the meaning and purpose of
work. Juried by Joel Zwart, Gallery Director and Curator at Calvin College.

Artist Talk with Carolyn Swiszcz:
Tuesday, November 8, at 5 p.m. in the Johnson Gallery, 2nd floor, CC Building
This exhibition includes the work of two artists exploring architecture and its direct and
indirect influence on culture and community. Karen Brummund’s large scale projects
transform the surfaces of the environment. Her works include drawings and video works
that have documented the large scale time-based drawing installations she has created in
numerous cities around the world. Carolyn Swiszcz’s colorful series of works on paper from
2005 and 2006 were made with the loose idea of an unending panorama. Each work was
inspired by a real-life sign or commercial enterprise whose actual site may not have been
that compelling.

COLLEGE OF VISUAL ARTS ST. CATHERINE UNIVERSIT Y
Deceptive Distance
September 15 – October 16, 2011
CVA Gallery
This group show brings together six Twin Cities based artists whose work engages with
the consequences of September 11, 2001. This now distant day continues to shape the
everyday reality of people living and fighting in the far-away theaters of war, Iraq and
Afghanistan. In addition to the deceptive distance of time and geography, an emotional
distance remains intact despite our most well-intentioned efforts to empathize, to imagine
what “it” must be like for “them”—those less fortunate ones who fight or bear the impact
of armed antagonism.
In Regarding the Pain of Others, Susan Sontag writes, “‘we’—this ‘we’ is everyone who
has never experienced anything like what they went through—don’t understand. We
don’t get it. We truly can’t imagine what it was like. We can’t imagine how dreadful, how
terrifying war is; and how normal it becomes. Can’t understand, can’t imagine” (125f.).
The horror of war, in Sontag’s words, outpaces imagination and empathy. Nonetheless, the
six artists in this show engage with both personal and cultural realities irrevocably altered
in the aftermath of September 11. Their work commemorates, imagines, reaches out, and
reflects on the deceptive distance of war, bringing it closer and making it more intimate in
the process.

Iron Maidens
September 12 – October 30, 2011
St. Kate’s is the first U.S. venue to host this traveling exhibition outside of Great Britain.
The exhibit features American, Welsh and English women artists who work with iron
as their primary medium. Iron casting has a very old history as a process for creating
functional products, however its use by fine artists is very recent, dating back to the 1960’s
and the development of a studio sized iron furnace.

They Don’t Believe Like We Do
October 3 – 28, 2011
Denler Gallery
Reception: Monday, October 3, 2011
Jonathan Paul Gillette is a Nashville-based artist and designer interested in things that
occupy a space between art and psychology. This solo exhibition includes works in a
variety of media, including photography and sculpture, which the artist hopes will provoke
opportunities for others to look inward instead of asking them to look at art.
Jonathan is committed to running from his problems, believing that running towards them
would create more.
He currently partners the design collective Enchanted Unicorn, is full time Professor of
Art Theory and Graphics Design at Lipscomb University, and is presiding as Director of the
BFA program. He holds a MFA in Painting & Drawing and a MS in Psychology.

Seeds, something so small and innocuous on the surface, contain thousands of years of
evolutionary history and are essential to human survival. The practice of saving seeds
speaks to the importance of individual action in sustaining life. Let’s not leave it to
chance asks us to consider what we have inherited and what we hope to pass on to future
generations. At the heart of this work is imagery inspired by the practice of cultivating
and saving heirloom seeds.
Rachel Breen is an artist and a professor of art at Anoka Ramsey Community College.
Her work incorporates themes from folk art, contemporary social concerns and
experimentation with materials and process. Rachel’s main drawing tool is her sewing
machine, which, more often than not, she uses without thread.
