Meet and mingle with Jacek J. Kolasinski, Kathy Dambach, and the Art + Art History staff at the Frost. 

Jacek J. Kolasinsk's multimedia installation entitled, After History, will be on view from September 1, 2010 - October 3, 2010. Silhouettes of toy like planes and zeppelins anxiously hover over the ghostly balsa ruins of an industrial metropolis shrouded by a sense of nostalgia for an irrevocably lost fantasy is the central stage of Kolasinski's installation. A three-dimensional "drawing" drafted by the interplay of shadows and flickers of light interlaced with the miniature porticos, facades, colonnades, and industrial architecture, synthesizes the unattainable dissipating memory of the future.

Kathy Dambach's personally and politically charged ceramic figurines in DEMONS nature/nurture will also be on display from September 1, 2010 - October 3, 2010. The exhibition references Dostoyevsky's novel of the same name in the context of classical ceramics. Dambach's work in the exhibition explores demons as personal and political, humorous and lethal, and how one negotiates self doubt, one's place in the world and the political ramifications. Much of the imagery in the exhibition has been developed from a single Venus figurine, found by the artist. The found form has been reconfigured into 26 provocative vignettes as political and social commentary. Along with these vignettes there are other larger figurative pieces and humorous portraits.

Arrive early to view these exhibitions before the artist's talk. 

This even is free and open to the public.
