SUMMARY:CURTIS MANN: Precious Blood
DESCRIPTION:CURTIS MANN: Precious Blood\n\n\n\n\nTHE DR. ROBERT L. BRANDT JR. FAMILY GALLERY\nTHE IRA & SUSAN THOMSEN FAMILY GALLERY \n\n\n\n\nSEP 6 – DEC 21\, 2024\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDayton native\, Curtis Mann\, returns home to present an experimental new body of work inspired by reflections on his childhood attending Parochial schools\, his mother’s Catholic funeral services this past May\, and the challenges he faced hiding and then embracing his atheism. Using a mixture of personal family photographs\, found\, and AI-generated images\, Mann has cut and affixed them to shards of glass to create sculptural collages. The work presents us with questions about what a photograph is\, about the precarious space between the image and the object\, and about the larger ideas of absolute faith\, its teachings\, and leaders. The work also serves as a love letter to his mother and his own feelings of mortality. Curated by Jeffrey Cortland Jones. \nMann is a graduate of the University of Dayton\, where he worked under the mentorship of Sean Wilkinson\, whose work is on view in the companion exhibition\, Flora\, also on view. His work has been exhibited widely\, most notably at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York; the Centre Georges Pompidou\, Paris\, France; the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York; and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOPENING NIGHT / SEP 6\n\n\n\n\nMembers Preview with the Artist 5-6 pm / Public Reception 6-8 pm \n\n\n\n\nARTIST TALK / NOV 22 / 6:30 pm\n\n\n\n\nCurtis Mann and Sean Wilkinson in Conversation with artist and writer\, Carmen Winant \nDoors open 6 pm / Reception immediately following ‘til 8 pm / FREE & open to all / The Tank at The Dayton Arcade

SUMMARY:SEAN WILKINSON: Flora
DESCRIPTION:SEAN WILKINSON: Flora\n\n\n\n\nTHE MITOSIS GALLERY \n\n\n\n\nSEP 6 – DEC 21\, 2024\n\n\n\n\n\nWilkinson’s ongoing series of photographs\, Flora (2020-2024) are the artist’s response to the exuberant vitality of plants\, their thrusting and thriving\, their boundless energy and raw power\, their elegance and grace\, their constant changing\, and their utter disregard for anything to do with the human world. Photographed over many seasons at Dayton’s Five Rivers MetroParks\, Wilkinson brings attention to change\, the overlooked\, the undisturbed\, and how profoundly meditative life can be. Curated by Jeffrey Cortland Jones. \nWilkinson is a Distinguished Service Professor and Professor Emeritus at the University of Dayton\, where he served as chair of the Department of Visual Arts and as the Graul Endowed Chair in Arts and Languages. He is the recipient of several Ohio Arts Council and Montgomery County Fellowships among many other awards and prizes.

DESCRIPTION:CURTIS MANN: Precious Blood\n\n\n\n\nTHE DR. ROBERT L. BRANDT JR. FAMILY GALLERY\nTHE IRA & SUSAN THOMSEN FAMILY GALLERY \n\n\n\n\nSEP 6 – DEC 21\, 2024\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDayton native\, Curtis Mann\, returns home to present an experimental new body of work inspired by reflections on his childhood attending Parochial schools\, his mother’s Catholic funeral services this past May\, and the challenges he faced hiding and then embracing his atheism. Using a mixture of personal family photographs\, found\, and AI-generated images\, Mann has cut and affixed them to shards of glass to create sculptural collages. The work presents us with questions about what a photograph is\, about the precarious space between the image and the object\, and about the larger ideas of absolute faith\, its teachings\, and leaders. The work also serves as a love letter to his mother and his own feelings of mortality. Curated by Jeffrey Cortland Jones. \nMann is a graduate of the University of Dayton\, where he worked under the mentorship of Sean Wilkinson\, whose work is on view in the companion exhibition\, Flora\, also on view. His work has been exhibited widely\, most notably at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York; the Centre Georges Pompidou\, Paris\, France; the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York; and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOPENING NIGHT / SEP 6\n\n\n\n\nMembers Preview with the Artist 5-6 pm / Public Reception 6-8 pm \n\n\n\n\nARTIST TALK / NOV 22 / 6:30 pm\n\n\n\n\nCurtis Mann and Sean Wilkinson in Conversation with artist and writer\, Carmen Winant \nDoors open 6 pm / Reception immediately following ‘til 8 pm / FREE & open to all / The Tank at The Dayton Arcade

DESCRIPTION:SEAN WILKINSON: Flora\n\n\n\n\nTHE MITOSIS GALLERY \n\n\n\n\nSEP 6 – DEC 21\, 2024\n\n\n\n\n\nWilkinson’s ongoing series of photographs\, Flora (2020-2024) are the artist’s response to the exuberant vitality of plants\, their thrusting and thriving\, their boundless energy and raw power\, their elegance and grace\, their constant changing\, and their utter disregard for anything to do with the human world. Photographed over many seasons at Dayton’s Five Rivers MetroParks\, Wilkinson brings attention to change\, the overlooked\, the undisturbed\, and how profoundly meditative life can be. Curated by Jeffrey Cortland Jones. \nWilkinson is a Distinguished Service Professor and Professor Emeritus at the University of Dayton\, where he served as chair of the Department of Visual Arts and as the Graul Endowed Chair in Arts and Languages.
