August 17th: Tiffany Knopow and Lynn Tomaszewski
Join us on Friday, August 17th anytime between 4 and 9 pm for a new exhibition:
Tiffany Knopow (print installation) and Lynn Tomaszewski (video, drawing).
Tiffany Knopow and Lynn Tomaszewski are involved in collecting, processing and organizing large amounts of data and information. Both artists often work at the intersection of disciplines, moving fluidly between two-, three- and four-dimensional. Their practice reveals connections and patterns among objects and phenomena that are commonly peripheral to a casual gaze, either due to the objects’ seeming uselessness or their sheer scale and complexity.
Tiffany Knopow’s subtle, minimal prints are a mean of recording the accumulation of abject, mundane and often ephemeral materials that are frequently discarded or forgotten. Hair Shed Lengths records the combed-out hair collected between September 26, 2006 and February 28, 2007. Tiffany’s practice suggests obsession, compulsion, organization, and persistent desire for order while still hinting at the abject.
Lynn Tomaszewski crosses the disciplines of art and science to make video, installation, and 2D work. The large quantities of information or objects, such as patterns of motion in space, genetic data or maps, are often presented with minimal interventions in order to reveal the connections and patterns inherent to those all-encompassing collections. In the new video You are Made of Stars the artist depicts constant movement underlaying our existence, the distant result of the big bang that generated all the existing matter in the universe.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Tiffany Knopow is a Wisconsin native and now resides in Burlington, WI. She received her BFA in Printmaking from UW-Madison and recently – her Masters of Art from UW-Milwaukee. This fall she is working towards completing her Masters of Fine Arts. Tiffany has shown her work locally, and nationally in exhibits such as FORWARD 2007 at Charles Allis Art Museum and Printmaking Currents 2006 at Prints Arts Northwest. She is also UW-Milwaukee’s current nominee for the 2007 National Dedalus Foundation Grant. An additional source of great personal pride was Tiffany’s guest judge appointment for the annual Spam-O-Rama cook-off held in Wausau, WI.
Lynn Tomaszewski is a Milwaukee-based artist who has exhibited widely for the past 15 years. Her work is in the collection of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN and the Center for Contemporary Art in Sacramento, CA. She received a BFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She is currently an Associate Professor at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.
