EXHIBITIONS & EVENTS
Nov. 12 - Jan. 18, 2013
“SelvEDGE”
Nava Lubelski
Rutledge Gallery / Rutledge Building
Lubelski embroiders on used fabric over
stains and rips, contrasting the accidental
with the meticulous, constructing narrative
from randomness and mistake. Her handstitched designs combine traditional sewing
techniques and abstract painting which
remove the object from functional purpose
and elevate to art. Nov. 12 - Jan. 18, 2013
Factory Floor
Libby O’Bryan
Elizabeth Dunlap Patrick Gallery
Rutledge Building
O’Bryan’s artwork is informed by her
previous career in apparel production and
current work as an “industrial seamstress.”
She explores the relationship between
maker, machine and consumer.
The environments she creates act
outside the commodity driven marketplace
as a means for contemplation about everyday
decisions and cultural norms.

Christine Kirouac: Siren Fall
Elizabeth Dunlap Patrick Gallery
Rutledge Building
Canadian artist, Christine Kirouac’s
work explores the "performance" of ethnicity
and identity through lenses of cliché,
storytelling, mimicry, and popular culture.
Kirouac’s videos and installations move
between enigmatic acts of personal
revelation and social observation,
blending elements of cinema,
theatre and documentary.
“Siren Fall” captures young Canadian
girls interpreting military fashion through
the filters of suburbia. Feb. 4 - March 8, 2013
Sonya Clark: Material Reflex
Rutledge Gallery / Rutledge Building
“Material Reflex” explores Clark’s symbolic and
innovative interpretation of materials and
weaving processes as a reflection of personal
and cultural identity. Drawing from her
African-American, Scottish and Caribbean
roots, Clark takes seemingly common objects
such as a piece of cloth or a strand of human
hair and transforms them into historical
commentary, challenging the viewer to
embrace the subliminal context. Clark is
currently the chair of the Department of
Craft/Material Studies at Virginia
Commonwealth University in Richmond,
Virginia and most recently was recognized as a
United States Artist Fellow. Feb. 18 - March 1, 2013
