Please join us for the following opening at the Swell Gallery! Alive and Kicking! curated by Kimberly Rowe Subversiveness can take many forms. What could be more political than pushing against the status quo and insisting on maintaining a practice that has been all but dismissed as irrelevant? At a time when spectacle and objectlessness has been de rigueur, many artists have held a different sort of vision. Things such as materials, process, color, and form used in a non-representational or near-nonrepresentational hybrid aesthetic can have a powerful effect, one that can get under our skin in unexpected ways. In 2009, abstraction is Alive and Kicking! This exhibition celebrates its many possibilities. Participating artists Alma Chaney, Emily Dippo, Michele Foyer, Brynda Glazier, April Grayson, Shirley Hazlett, Christopher Hood, Vasanti Lackner, Heather Martin, Robert Moya, Kimberly Rowe, Jesse Eric Schmidt, Justin Schuetz, Sande Waters, Alison Woods, Amber Jean Young
