The Greenville Museum of Art is thrilled to present Undoing, an exhibition of art made from everyday and found materials by four artists: Krista Clark, BR Goldstein, Grace Hong, and Michael Watson. The title Undoing refers to all four artists’ processes of deconstructing everyday objects or materials through the creation of their work. Knowing that viewers bring their own associations to the familiar materials found throughout this exhibition, "Undoing" also relates to the loosening of spoken and written language as the primary means of conveying information or ideas.

The NC Dance Festival celebrates its 30th Anniversary Season with a live performance in Greensboro on October 2. The performance features 5 NC professional dancers performing the work of Helen Simoneau; a light-hearted duet by Asheville’s Stewart/Owen Dance; and a collaborative performance between classical Indian dancer Aparna Keshaviah and West African drummer Atiba Rorie. The Festival honors its founder, Jan Van Dyke, with a new work based on Van Dyke’s choreography, performed by 3 generations of dancers including former Van Dyke Dance Group company members, and Dance Project pre-professional students and alumni. Three dance films, by Cara Hagan, Jeehyun Joung, and 20 NC dance artists, respectively, will be screened with the performance. Audience members are required to show proof of vaccination or negative COVID tests prior to entry, and masks are required throughout the performance. Tickets are limited, to provide adequate distance between seats.

About the Exhibition:

The photographer is an artist who applies a lens to the world and the contemporary social order.  TRANSFORMATION is a gathering of powerful and intriguing images that open stories of our times and portray a world undergoing transformation.  

The exhibition will also explore the transformation of the photographic process. Photography as an artistic medium has been the beneficiary of changing technologies and new materials in the last quarter-century.  The artist now has dramatic latitude in terms of scale and visual media. Photography is no longer just a pretty picture or a document. It can be many things at once, integrating many materials and media.
