The Sour Princesses
April 3-24, 2010
Opening reception: April 3, 2010, 7-10 pm, free + open to the public
Curated by Sandy Eichert + Matt Morris + Eric Ruschman
Semantics Gallery
1107 Harrison Avenue
Cincinnati, OH 45214
~Semantics has gallery hours from 12-4 pm every Saturday of the exhibition
Semantics gallery is pleased to present "The Sour Princesses", a special gathering of artists working within this region and in other parts of the country. Andrea Baker, Emily Barletta, Debbie Brod, Jessie Henson, Alex Jameson, Kate Kern and Emily Storch present a variety of works that explore organic form, and, in many cases nontraditional techniques in sewing and other fiber craft. This is not fiber art. In a world of straightforward quilting, sewing and crochet, the collected art solutions are transgressive and explosive: stuffed appliqué elements bob around in Alex Jameson’s and Emily Storch’s heavily collaged paintings. Emily Barletta’s sculptural works encase small clay elements in tightly crocheted forms; while their titles offer clues to the internal organs and body parts upon which they are based, their strength lies in the myriad organic forms they conjure in the viewer’s associations. Debbie Brod’s assemblages are never limited to just textiles, rather her intuitive approach to coaxing new experiences out of recycled materials is suggestive of a collective, interrelated nature underlying reality, like String Theory and Quantum Physics. Semantics is a quirky set of galleries that exude atmosphere and encourage experimentation: Kate Kern’s installation does just that, building off of the walls and floors of the gallery, pairing the idiosyncrasy of the artists’ intricate manipulations of materials with the preexisting anomalies in the space.
Collectively, these artists invoke metaphors of “the fabric of life” and questions about the universe’s structure in ways that are variously abstract, personal and even decorative. This exhibition is curated by Sandy Eichert, with support from Matt Morris and Eric Ruschman, and will be accompanied by a poetry reading from L.A. Howe. Serendipitously all of the exhibition’s participants are women; their assembly was really driven by studio visits, attentive art viewing and spending time as a group of curators reflecting on recently impressive experiences with art. We present these artists in various stages of their careers and creative development in hopes that audiences will be immersed in the spirit of innovation imbued in the presented works.

Traditionally, embroidery is a decorative embellishment made with a needle and thread on textiles. This exciting exhibition includes the work of 19 contemporary artists who push the boundaries of the traditional meaning of embroidery. Traditional and non traditional techniques of embroidery are used to explore historical, political, personal and humorous iconographies. Works include a bounty of color and line as found in drawn landscapes, Miro like paintings and wall and floor installations held together in space by thread. These artists offer an exciting new vision of embroidery. Curated by John Tricomi and Kathleen Driscoll.
