Distinctive Practice

The Galleries at CSU are happy to present four one-person exhibitions of works by contemporary artists with a strong connection to Cleveland. Each of the presenting artists works in a medium distinctive to their practice, which also happens to be perfectly suited to their artistic concerns.

In the North Gallery, Riparazioni (Reparations): Meditations on the Fullness of Being (Woman), Anne Kmieck installs eleven embroidered dresses and other works that pay homage to lives of twelve historic women whose significant contributions to the Church and society have largely gone unappreciated.

In the Center Gallery Miriam Norris Omura explores how memories are layered, and how we cannot clearly see the past. In Ghosts and Strangers, Omura adapts a weaving/dyeing/re-weaving technique pioneered by Hildur Asgeirsdóttir Jónsson, with whom Omura studied while living in Cleveland. Using personal, historic photographs as a starting point, she explores her family history and what gets lost in translation.

Susan Squires presents her signature encaustic geometric abstractions in the South Gallery, introducing a new body of work in an exhibition titled From There To Here.

In the Media Room, independent filmmaker Robert Banks presents Placeholder Cinema, a selection of film and video works of the past decade.
