Art Exhibit: Keeping the Bubble Happy

Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present "Keeping the Bubble Happy", a solo exhibit of new works by Mary Zeran. This show investigates the idea that we all possess our inner world in relation to the external- our bubble. The works featured are a response to keeping both of these in equilibrium; the artist illustrates her personal reflection to what that means with color, movement, texture and composition. “I structure my world around a system of patterns and habits to create a psychological ecosystem that allows me to transcend my sadness, fears, insecurities, and doubts”, says Zeran. Painterly organic shapes and patterned blocks are affixed together in chaotic harmony. “I am a participant in the collaboration with the material and my atmosphere is airy within dense and transparent layers, focusing on interactions with the natural world around me.” As she abstracts flowers, trees, and the colors of nature, she uses this language to bring her closer to her family’s craft traditions while exploring her own internal voice. Exhibiting works are largely displayed on panel and paper and include her signature “object” renderings. Mary Zeran received her B.F.A and M.F.A from University of Iowa. She was born in Iowa City in 1964 and now lives and works in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She is the recipient of several awards and honors and her works are in numerous public and private collections as well as many notable corporate collections. Her collage works have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad. Museum collections include The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY, and Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, Cedar Rapids IA. She has been reviewed in The Art Examiner, Seattle Post Intelligencer, Artweek, and Kolaj Magazine. Parking, Accessibility: A limited parking lot is available with 1 handicap space. On street parking is available on 3rd avenue and 8th street- non-metered. The MedQuarter features protected bike lanes and bicycle “parking” can be found on the opposite side of the building by the Pocket Park on 3rd and 8th. All exhibit receptions are free and open to the public. 2020-01-17 17:00:00 -0600

Exhibit Opening Celebration: The Pull of Horses on National and Local Histories and Identities

Join curators Dr. Kim Marra and Mark Anderson to celebrate the opening of The Pull of Horses on National and Local Histories and Identities at the University of Iowa Libraries Main Library Gallery!Gather at 5:00pm for snacks in the lobby outside the Main Library Gallery, then hear remarks from the curators before a ribbon cutting at 5:30pm. The exhibition will be open for viewing from 5:45 - 7:00pm, during which the curators will be available for questions.Admission to the Main Library Gallery is always free.About the exhibition: On display from January 23 - March 29, 2020. Along with our ancestors, horses helped build Iowa City, the state, and the nation. In the process, they profoundly shaped human identities. This exhibition explores the physical and social impact of these huge, powerful animals by screening on a loop the original documentary film The Pull of Horses in Urban American Performance, 1860-1920 at life-sized scale amid displays of local equine history. The exhibition contains glimpses of Iowa City town and campus life, as well as national equestrian culture – especially as multitudes of women took up the sport of riding and advocated for suffrage. Original and reproduction publications, photographs, artifacts, and ephemera from Special Collections at the University of Iowa Libraries, the State Historical Society of Iowa, and from private collections will share a sampling of stories about life alongside horses from Iowa City’s, and the nation’s, past. Curated by Kim Marra, PhD of the University of Iowa Departments of Theatre Arts and American Studies, and Mark Anderson of the Digital Scholarship & Publishing Studio at the University of Iowa Libraries.Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa–sponsored events. If you are a person with a disability who requires a reasonable accommodation in order to participate in this program, please visit the Main Library Gallery contact page for contact information. 2020-01-08 19:00:00 -0600

Slow Art Day

One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly.  Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together to talk about their experience.  Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art and the art of seeing.  Participants are encouraged to take notes or make sketches (with pencil) of the artworks.  At the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, we suggest visitors who wish to participate in Slow Art Day to look at the selected works between 10 am and noon and then to meet at noon in the Carnegie Library Wing of the CRMA.  Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunch for this time.  Associate Curator of Collections and Exhibitions Kate Kunau will facilitate the discussion.  Free with paid museum admission. 2019-12-30 13:00:00 -0600
