Art instructor's photography exhibition opens at New Harmony Gallery
|
New Harmony Gallery presents photographs by Andrea Hoelscher The exhibition “Interior: Photographs by Andrea Hoelscher” opens with a reception from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, November 22. The reception is free and open to the public and will be held in conjunction with the fall New Harmony Art Stroll. The exhibition runs November 8 through December 27, 2008. In the exhibition, the artist explores how our unconscious shapes our memories of space and architecture. The artist creates images by digitally altering photographs, fusing ordinary and unusual structures such as walls, windows and passages. She constructs experiences for the viewer that are enveloping, coercive or even threatening. The viewer feels pulled inside an otherwise inhabitable and unreal space. In this way she is examining how people experience space and how that space is translated in our minds. Hoelscher, instructor in art at USI, was born in Marashalltown, Iowa. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Northern Iowa, and her Master of Fine Arts degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has exhibited in solo exhibitions in Virginia, New York City, Boston, San Francisco, and Chicago as well as internationally in Berlin, Germany, and Poland. She received a Fulbright grant to work in Berlin and a fellowship from the New England Foundation for the Arts. Hoelscher has taught at Columbia College, St. Xavier University, the College of DuPage, and the Massachusetts College of Art. She lives in Santa Claus, Indiana. The gallery is located at 506 Main Street in New Harmony, Indiana, and is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.
