(pr)aggression

Andrew Cozzens

May 18 – June 23, 2013

Opening Reception May 18, 2013 from 5-7 p.m.

A reception for (pr)aggression, an exhibition by Andrew Cozzens, will be held at the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, May 18. The exhibition is free and open to the public.   

The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art invites you to a multimedia installation exhibition. Diverse materials including: metal, ice, video, plastic, and live plants are used to create sculptures that highlight the viewer’s perception of time in an increasingly industrialized existence.

“(pr)aggression is a place in which the material phases of human industry can be experienced outside of their initial intentions. Natural earth, industrial steel, synthetic plastics, and digital displays conspire to construct a progressing industrial aesthetic, while their modified functions encourage a reconsideration. The materials now defeat their own purpose, shifting to create a place of contemplation, patience, and reflection.”

Cozzens received his Master of Fine Arts degree from Washington University in St Louis and Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in sculpture from Murray State University. He is the Chair of the exhibition committee of the Louisville Visual Art Association, President/Founder of the Louisville Artist Syndicate, and Visiting Lecturer of Art at Vincennes University.
