Helen Frederick, Printmaking Director, is the 2011 Frances Niederer Artist-in-Residence at the Main Gallery at the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum at Hollins University, February 17-April 16, 2011. The opening lecture and reception will be February 17 at 6pm. Frederick is featured in DISSONANCE, an exhibition that develops her ideas through print media, artist books, video and installation works as a basis for commentary. Focusing on the themes of reflection and protection, she writes, "We use the process of memory to reduce dissonance. Recollections of the immediate and distant past allow us to...maintain a positive balance." After the initial installation of her work, university students will assist Frederick in creating images to be added in the museum's permanent collection and resource room.
A separate exhibition, COLORING OUR WORLD: Artistic Imprints from Pyramid Atlantic and Navigation Press, will run from February 17-April 16, 2011 in the Ballator-Thompson Gallery at Hollins University. Pyramid Atlantic (established in 1981) and George Mason University's Navigation Press (established in 2006) have empowered hundreds of artists by assisting them in papermaking, printmaking, book arts, and digital media through collaboration. The exhibition features selections that were produced under founder Helen Frederick's direction and include examples by renowed artists who play a substantial role in the art world, including Lonnie Graham, Enrique Chagoya, and Miriam Schapiro.
All events are free and open to the public, but some may require reservations. Please contact Laura Jane Ramsburg at 540-362-6081 or LRamsburg@hollins.edu.
