"Convent Sessions" Exhibition
Eye Level BQE
This event has ended.
St. Cecilia’s Convent, was built in 1871, and is among many religious institutions that are being forced to re-evaluate their position with aging constituencies and falling revenues. In a diverse effort to expand their community and attract renewed interest in the historic building groups of artists were welcomed to come and participate in a unique open studio scenario. The one month free studios produced a wide range of work month that reflected their practice within this changing space.
A selection of this work will be on shown at EyeLevel Gallery. The work explores various different fascinations spurred by the now mixed-use convent. The beautiful photos by S. Billie Mandle explore the spatial relationship between sacred spaces and the ravages of time. The large format graphite work from Katie Kalinski focus on the biblical notion of the rapture, and the implications of antiquated religious forcasts in our changing world.
