Rotations
In conjunction with the CO ART Ranch
K. Saari Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of drawings by Carrie Marill and photographs by Matthew Moore, in conjunction with the CO Art
Ranch, Friday, May 2 from 5-8 pm.
Carrie Marill was born in 1976 in San Francisco, CA. Marill's gouache drawings and installations are the culmination of her art practice and scientific investigation, which capture unique moments of beauty and discovery. With an interest in field research, theoretical physics and evolutionary biology, Marill has developed new ways of seeing the interconnectedness of matter, especially as it is manifested in ecological systems. At the heart of her work is the continuous human struggle to reconcile the tensions between the natural world, art, science and lived experience. Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States in New York, California, Seattle, Miami, Texas, and Arizona. Recent critical acclaim for her solo show Newfoundland in Los Angeles, and A Big Small Town in Scottsdale, have brought new attention to her work. She is the recipient of several awards including The Charles Baskerville Painting Award, 2004, The Contemporary Forum Artist Grant, 2005 and a recent nominee for the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant, 2008. Mrs. Marill graduated from San Francisco State University, 2002 with a BA in painting, then moved to Ithaca, New York to attend Cornell University where she received an MFA, 2004. Her work has been published in New American Paintings, Wired Magazine, Southwest Art, The New Times, LA weekly and LA Times.
Matthew Moore's is a fourth generation farmer whose land and life is quickly being overcome by suburban sprawl. He creates large site-specific earthworks on and around his family's land, which highlight the grounds on which the urban and rural collide and compete. Moore also works with video and installation art, addressing issues of ecological, cultural, and economical sustainability revealed through his artistic narrative regarding the potential loss of the romanticized American farm. Moore's artwork has been exhibited nationally, from the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, to Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Arts. Moore's latest creations premiered at ASU Art Museum's, New American City: Artist Look Forward. In January 2008, Moore was part of a traveling show about the contemporary American suburb for the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, which was curated with the Heinz Architectural Center at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh. Moore is published internationally. Metropolis Magazine, Dwell, and Architecture magazine included his work, as well as the publications Mark Magazine and Dazed and Confused of Europe. He is featured in Phoenix: 21st Century City, a book by Booth-Clibborn Editions.
