Two exhibitions

Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland MOCA, Cleveland

Curve Series: Nina Bovasso
April 15 – August 14, 2005 (temporarily closed May 2 – May 18)

Nina Bovasso works primarily with drawing and painting on paper, often large in scale. Her intuitively composed compositions proliferate organically with bold and colorful marks that billow into expansive dense clusters or stack into heaps. Her trademark process of accumulating swirling lines, dots and small motifs are deftly integrated into a plane that operates both as a spatial field and object. For her Curve exhibition, Bovasso will create an installation that includes diptychs and a site-specific wall drawing.

Bovasso earned a MFA from Bard College and a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She has been awarded numerous grants including the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, Louis Comfort Tiffany Grant and John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship. Her work is included in collections of The New Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, Progressive and has been shown in this country and abroad.

Sky Lounge: Once Familiar
April 15 – August 14, 2005 (temporarily closed May 2 – May 18)

The four artists whose work is featured in Once Familiar utilize a variety of materials to explore the perpetual construction of memory and reality. Dylan Collins creates hybridized sculptures that examine the complex relationships between lived experience and the mechanical world. By reworking old afghans into sculptural installations, Carol Hummel dismantles traditional notions of "women's work." Video artist Carey McDougall challenges gender assumptions through analysis of and alterations to feminized domestic activities. Stephen Litchfield undermines the familiar by modifying utilitarian objects in ways that subvert their normal functioning. Together, the multimedia work in this exhibition question the limitations of human existence while also pushing physical boundaries through an innovative activation of the Sky Lounge gallery space.

Curated by Scott A. Sherer

This is the fourth exhibition in the Sky Lounge Series advancing MOCA’s commitment to showcase the work of artists from Northeast Ohio.

Sky Lounge is generously sponsored by Sky Bank. Additional promotional support has been provided by Skyy Vodka.
