SUMMARY:Erica Keener and Emily Moores Exhibit Artwork at Sinclair Community College
DESCRIPTION:The Sinclair Community College Art Department is pleased to present works by Erica Keener in the Works on Paper Gallery and Emily Moores in the Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery. Erica Keener is exhibiting a collection of paintings made from pastels. Looking to the ordinary and her everyday surroundings\, Keener focuses on observing the extraordinary. Her works often feature the sky\, landscapes\, and other natural beauty\, which she hopes the viewer will find a connection to something larger than themselves. Emily Moores’s large scale collage-style installation features everyday materials like paper\, fabric\, and plastic. Her bright colors and varied textures create a whimsical space for viewers to experience feelings of joy and play as well as centering them in their physical space. There will be a virtual artist talk via Zoom on Friday\, January 17\, 2025\, at 12pm. Visit www.sinclair.edu/artgalleries for details. The exhibitions will be on display from January 6–February 5\, 2025. Galleries are located on the fourth floor of building 13 (located at West Fifth and Perry Streets). The galleries are free and open to the public from 8am–6pm Monday–Friday and 9am–12pm Saturdays.

SUMMARY:Susan B. Byrnes: Lightness and Weight
DESCRIPTION:A groundbreaking exploration of the paradoxes inherent in the human experience drawing from themes in Milan Kundera’s novel\, “The Unbearable Lightness of Being\,” Lightness & Weight will feature three new sound and sculptural installations that explore the complexities and dualities of the human condition. The exhibition will include a variety of non-traditional materials including cast iron\, tulle\, artificial hair\, glass\, smoke\, video\, and sound. Byrnes\, a sculptor and audio producer who most often uses her work to challenge and reflect on the burdens of sexism and the resilience of the female body\, will launch a companion podcast series featuring interviews with women artists across various media and backgrounds. Created through a new partnership between The Co and WYSO 91.3 FM\, the flagship National Public Radio (NPR) member station for the region\, the podcast will provide an important platform for female voices in the arts\, fostering dialogue and community engagement. Byrnes is a Cincinnati-based visual artist whose diverse body of work spans sculpture\, multimedia installation\, radio broadcasts\, writing\, and curatorial projects. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the Midwest\, including the Korean Cultural Center of Chicago\, the Dayton Art Institute\, and the Weston Gallery\, Cincinnati. OPENING NIGHT / JAN 17\, 2025 Members Preview with the Artist 5-6 pm / Public Reception 6-8 pm

SUMMARY:A Zachary Armstrong Curatorial Project
DESCRIPTION:Intricate. Intimate. From the heart. The Co presents the reveal of a new project by Zachary Armstrong—an enigmatic force whose work features the ritualistic repetition of symbols and motifs rooted in recollections of his childhood and family\, of people and places\, of rural Midwest Americana.

Recent solo exhibitions include GNYP Gallery\, Antwerp\, Belgium (2023); Tilton Gallery\, New York\, NY (2022\, 2018\, 2016); Faurschou Foundation\, New York\, NY/Beijing\, China (2022\, 2021); and The Contemporary\, Dayton\, OH (2021); among others.

SUMMARY:Erica Keener and Emily Moores Exhibit Artwork at Sinclair Community College
DESCRIPTION:The Sinclair Community College Art Department is pleased to present works by Erica Keener in the Works on Paper Gallery and Emily Moores in the Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery. Erica Keener is exhibiting a collection of paintings made from pastels. Looking to the ordinary and her everyday surroundings\, Keener focuses on observing the extraordinary. Her works often feature the sky\, landscapes\, and other natural beauty\, which she hopes the viewer will find a connection to something larger than themselves. Emily Moores’s large scale collage-style installation features everyday materials like paper\, fabric\, and plastic. Her bright colors and varied textures create a whimsical space for viewers to experience feelings of joy and play as well as centering them in their physical space. There will be a virtual artist talk via Zoom on Friday\, January 17\, 2025\, at 12pm. Visit www.sinclair.edu/artgalleries for details.

SUMMARY:Susan B. Byrnes: Lightness and Weight
DESCRIPTION:A groundbreaking exploration of the paradoxes inherent in the human experience drawing from themes in Milan Kundera’s novel\, “The Unbearable Lightness of Being\,” Lightness & Weight will feature three new sound and sculptural installations that explore the complexities and dualities of the human condition. The exhibition will include a variety of non-traditional materials including cast iron\, tulle\, artificial hair\, glass\, smoke\, video\, and sound. Byrnes\, a sculptor and audio producer who most often uses her work to challenge and reflect on the burdens of sexism and the resilience of the female body\, will launch a companion podcast series featuring interviews with women artists across various media and backgrounds. Created through a new partnership between The Co and WYSO 91.3 FM\, the flagship National Public Radio (NPR) member station for the region\, the podcast will provide an important platform for female voices in the arts\, fostering dialogue and community engagement. Byrnes is a Cincinnati-based visual artist whose diverse body of work spans sculpture\, multimedia installation\, radio broadcasts\, writing\, and curatorial projects. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the Midwest\, including the Korean Cultural Center of Chicago\, the Dayton Art Institute\, and the Weston Gallery\, Cincinnati.
