Art and Text: Images, Concepts, and Insights
An exhibition curated by Teresia Bush for CIVA (Christians in the Visual Arts)

A Reception for the Artists will be held on January 29, 2009, 5:30 to 7:30pm

This exhibition brings together sculptors, painters, photographers, graphic artists, mixed media, installation, and video artists who explore a variety of ways to use art and text to express their personal attitudes, opinions and faith.

Although not used here as a medium of description, and never doctrinaire, the text, actual or suggestive, plays a primary role. It puts much of the responsibility of interpretation on the viewer—possibly resulting in a construal that may not be entirely compatible with the artists’ intentions.

While borrowing a page from conceptual and post conceptual tenets, placing predominance on the idea, the artists serve as facilitators who lead the audience to a place of introspection. For information about other venues for this exhibition, see http://www.civa.org/exhibitions.php
