For its third exhibition, City Center presents Hair Works, featuring the art of Jonathan Geiger and Jane Tuss. Using mixed media, the pair explores the contrasting qualities of hair as an intimate item of attraction and foreign item of aversion.

In the exhibition, the two artists contemplate the capability of wool and hair to both entice and repel a viewer. No matter the source, the material is recognizable and natural, allowing the viewer to connect and relate to it. When divorced from the body, hair is thought of as dirty and crude, repulsing the viewer. Geiger and Tuss bridge the divide to create artwork that marries both associations of the human product.

Time-Sensitive

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010 through Friday, January 29th, 2011

Reception: Friday, November 5th, 6 to 8pm

ROY G BIV Gallery for Emerging Artists presents Time-Sensitive, an exhibition that features artwork exploring the idea of the ephemeral, on display at the OSU Urban Arts Space. Ephemeral artworks fade, disappear, or simply "end" due to the materials or time that they inhabit. The artworks in Time-Sensitive explore the impermanent and the transitory, as well as disintegration and decay. Juried by Ola Ståhl.

Call for entries from local emerging artists:

City Center at the OSU Urban Arts Space is an opportunity for local emerging artists to display their art and launch their careers. One proposal per month will be given a grant of up to $500 and use of the corridor space at the entrance of the OSU Urban Arts Space.
