Virginia Overton at the Sculpture Center

Virginia Overton: Untitled, 2009
Virginia Overton's sculptures use material such as beams, pallets squished between walls with shims, and large sonotubes. Overton prefers to highlight what she calls "unskilled skills" - like driving a truck and stacking chairs or pallets. Often delicately levitating, the lightness of the works contrasts with the sturdy materials, rough edges, and spills involved in the process of making them.

Five Regional Sculptors at the Metal Museum

Tylur French, Mark Nowell, R. Carroll Todd, Yvonne Bobo, and Brian Russell have set their sculptures against the backdrop of our lush grounds and dramatic river views. The results are at turns humorous, whimsical, elegant, and powerful.

Five Regional Sculptors is on view June 23 - August 23, 2009.

Everywhere, Nowhere, Somewhere...

Power House Memphis presents: Everywhere, Nowhere, Somewhere…
A Power House Director’s Choice Group Exhibition
July 3-August 10, 2009

Everywhere, Nowhere, Somewhere looks at the oddity of humanity with pieces that border on the bizarre, compulsive and the beautiful. Works question labels of race, gender and cultural identity, highlighting the concept of otherness and how it affects our perception of reality. The sense of wandering implied by Everywhere, Nowhere, Somewhere is embodied by installations that lie on the fringes of categories like sculpture and painting, but do not quite find a home within these classifications. Much of the work deals with the negotiation of identity in a world that is complex, mysterious and anything but black and white.The 2009 Power House Director's Choice Artists are: Keith O. Anderson (NYC), Dwayne Butcher (Memphis), Brendan Fernandes (NYC), Marie Irmgard (Denmark), Charles Huntley Nelson (Atlanta), Kambui Olujimi (NYC), Joel Parsons (Memphis), Jonathan and Mary Postal (Memphis), Jackson Dingo Ryan (Eugene, OR) and Tam Tran (Memphis).

Opening reception from 6-8pm July 3rd
Director's Choice talk about Everywhere, Nowhere, Somewhere on July 16th at 6:30pm

Power House Memphis welcomes Atlanta based photographer Sheila Pree Bright as our next Fuel Room artist.

In the spirit of Power House’s goal to present art experiments and experiences, Bright reopened two previous bodies of work, Plastic Bodies and Gold Rush.
