John Grod, Stacy Isenbarger, Harold Jeffries, Jennifer Mannebach: Strike/Slip
@ Riverside Arts Center Freeark Gallery + Sculpture Garden
32 E. Quincy St., Riverside, IL
Opening Sunday, March 11th, from 3PM - 6PM
On view through Saturday, April 14th
Join us Sunday March 11 from 3-6pm for the opening reception of STRIKE/SLIP, a group show that brings together the work of John Grod, Stacy Isenbarger, Harold Jeffries and Jennifer Mannebach–artists who share a deep interest in borders and boundaries. What is the condition of existing at a border or threshold? Whether it’s a geographical area or a philosophical point of view, to inhabit a headspace while simultaneously empathizing with someone else, one or the other must be slightly blurred. ‘Around,’ ‘Between,’ ‘Within,’ ‘Delineate’ and ‘Across’ are words that, as Stacy Isenbarger once said, “draw us to an edge, but more importantly our need to define it in reflection to our place in confronting it. We shift.” The tectonic implications of STRIKE/SLIP, a type of fault line where the ground shifts horizontally in an earthquake, are especially resonant in this context.
