    Social Forms: Art As Global Citizenship

    SOCIAL FORMS: ART AS GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

    JORGE TACLA
    STAGINGS/ESCENARIOS
    Aug 4 – Oct 21
    Stagings/Escenarios, an exhibition of dynamic and expansive paintings by Jorge Tacla, depicts landscapes of cultural significance and the remnants of sites leveled by uprising and warfare. Communicating the complex narratives these places represent, the paintings comment on contemporary events with an emphasis on the aftermath and memory of catastrophes. Informed by abuses of power and the resulting destruction, Tacla’s paintings portray images of haunting ruins and layered, architectural elements with reference to the bodily presence of the victims he documents.

    MALIA JENSEN
    ENDLESS PIGEONS
    Aug 23 – Nov 30
    Endless Pigeons is a monumentally scaled bronze tower of oversized pigeons rising, one atop the other, from a cast concrete base designed to recall the ubiquitous “Jersey Barrier.” Using her characteristic wit and humor, Jensen’s sculpture questions who (or what) adorns public plinths, and creates an opportunity for observation and reflection.

    KARL LECLAIR
    PERCEPTIVE OMISSIONS
    Aug 04 – Oct 21
    Drawn to indirect and direct processes of image making, Hillsboro artist Karl LeClair creates print-based works that represent the forces beyond our perception that shape the landscapes of reality. Exploring human connection to these forces, the land, and other humans, the works depict external stimuli and analyze how the surrounding environment impacts our experiences—and our bodies. Fascinations with dreams, physics, geologic processes, the collective unconscious, and memory, LeClair’s imagery alludes to broader universal forces.

    MIROSLAV LOVRIC
    SUBCONSCIOUS CONVERSATIONS
    Aug 04 – Oct 21
    After fleeing war-torn Yugoslavia in the nineties, Miroslav Lovric began mining both conscious and subconscious memories. Focusing on nature, birds, and animals, Lovric spontaneously captures secret messages of the mind—and the world. Finding intrigue in the relationship between humans and animals, Lovric abstractly paints the enigma between living and non-living things.
