Elsewhere

February 1, 2018 to March 23, 2018

Venue: Joseph Gross Gallery

Detail: Tobias Fike, Accumulation: A Mountain of Stars, cardboard boxes, electrical cord, fluorescent bulbs,
painted wood base. Image courtesy of David B. Smith Gallery.

Elsewhere is comprised of works that elegantly traverse situational and environmental
scenarios that unfold into uncommon encounters, echoing the schism between the
known/unknown, tangible/intangible, and terrestrial/celestial. Incorporating ordinary
materials and subjects that at first glance appear banal, these artists actively engage the
inherent dualities of a meditative, psychological state, while simultaneously referencing
the evanescent physicality of being in the world.

Exhibiting Artists:
Kevin Cooley
Tobias Fikes
Noémie Goudal
Nazafarin Lotfi
Sarah McKenzie
Dario Robleto
Chris Thorson


Artists joining us for gallery talks from 4:00-5:00 pm on February 8th include:

Sarah McKenzie’s work addresses the shifting nature of our built environment and
architecture in transition, whether under construction or in a state of decline. Her work
has been exhibited at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the Carnegie Museum of
Art in Pittsburgh, the Yale School of Architecture, the Museum of Contemporary Art in
Denver, and the Aspen Art Museum. Her paintings have been featured in Art in
America, The New York Times, Denver Post, Huffington Post, Dwell Magazine,
and New American Paintings. In 2012, she received a Joan Mitchell Painters and
Sculptors Grant.
Tobias Fike is an interdisciplinary artist whose work and approach varies from his
personal experience of family and place to our temporal relationship with the universe
and observations of time. He earned his MFA from the University of Colorado Boulder
in 2011 and his work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, with
exhibitions in Berlin, Germany; Coimbra, Portugal; Houston, and Tucson, among
others.
Nazafarin Lotfi is a visual artist based in Tucson, Arizona. She received her MFA
from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2011 and her BA from the University
of Tehran in 2007. Lotfi’s practice explores interior and negative spaces and their
implications for subjectivity, experience, and identity. She examines representation of
space in connection with time, weight, balance, collapse, and the dialectics of inside
and outside. Selected solo exhibitions include: Poiesis at Fernwey Gallery, Chicago;
White Light at Andrew Rafacz Gallery, Chicago; Love at Last Sight at Brand New
Gallery, Milan; Circles at Tony Wight Gallery, Chicago.

Elsewhere is an invitational exhibition co-curated by Brooke Grucella and Martina
Shenal, University of Arizona School of Art.

This exhibition is supported by the College of Fine Arts Deans Fund for Excellence,
the Dr. Joseph F. Gross Endowment, Lionel Rombach Endowment, and the
University of Arizona School of Art.

Great oil painting by Galadriel Gross who is currently studying studio art and is working on her portfolio for an illustration emphasis!
•
"Self Portrait After Rain"
This was my first self portrait, and it was a real joy to paint. Knowing there is a version of myself in this painting that is always at rest, always breathing fresh air after a rain, and always in close proximity to the mud is self-affirming and grants strength to my active, living self. While I really love visual drama and tension, these quieter and calmer pieces always resonate with me for a long time.

This amazing sculpture is titled “Temporary Structures” by Marisa Lewon and is currently in the Alumni Exhibition in the Joseph Gross Gallery— link in bio!!
•
Temporary structures is an amalgamation of sand, skin, self-understanding and time. I use personal history to understand how the experience of where and how we are raised can alter reactions and perceptions of new landscapes as adults. In this work, my perception of, and aversion to, ideas of home are echoed through exploration of personal memory.
