Peter Everett and Anne Watson
Open House, Friday, March 30, 6-8pm
Exhibition: Mar 30-May 2
Stories: Fiction/Reality and Memory/Loss
We are excited to introduce Peter Everett and Anne Watson to the CUAC.
Exhibiting in the lower gallery is a new
body of work by Peter Everett. Everett is
currently teaching at BYU in the art department.
He is recognized both nationally and
internationally.
His works are creations of fiction that run parallel to reality. They are conglomerations of his experience and the made-up fantasies of his mind.The images create a narrative that is both loose and constructive. He is "building relationships between beauty, ecstasy, martyrdom, and apocalyptic" notions. By combining repeated patterns and abstract forms he fully utilizes the language of abstraction. Through reducing and simplification he creates a utopia where his stories can be told.
Anne Watson is an artist that exhibits nationally. She is also the executive director of the Marriner S. Eccles Foundation, an organization that funds non-profit organizations throughout the state.
She will be installing a multi-media piece, in our upper gallery, that is a visual and audio representation of her personal experience. The project is called "Shroud". Watson states that the one thing that we all have in common is pain. It is our "common humanity". "Shroud" is a collection of recorded stories from individuals who are going through the grieving process. It is communal, it is it is meant to be shared and experienced.
Through the creative process she copes with
her personal losses and hopes that through
exhibiting (sharing) her experience that others
may gain strength.
Both artists are creating stories, both fictional and real, and both artists expect the viewer to rely on memory and personal experience to understand the work.
We hope you will join us at at an open reception that is free to the public on Friday, March 2 from 6-8pm.
