Description
For exhibit 40, our summer project, we are mounting a group show of painters (and one photographer with very close ties to painting) working with motifs and modes that touch upon borders, boundaries and transitional zones. When I culled my list of artists, some from the gallery stable and others from amongst local painters I admire, I discovered they were all women. After pausing to consider whether gender played any signi cant role here, I decided to leave that question up to the viewer, nodding to this coincidence and other shifting sands only with the title of the show lifted from Director Hiroshi Teshigahara's Academy Award winning 1964 film, Woman in the Dunes. Many thanks to the artists, Judith Belzer, Justine Frischmann, Narangkar Glover, Jessalyn Haggenjos, Nancy Haynes, Erin Lawlor, Marie Thibeault, Jennah Ward, Arngunnur Yr and Jenny Bloomfield, who participates courtesy of Gwen Terpstra's Gallery 60SIX.
