Press Release:
Peter Finnemore
Central Utah Art Center
86 north Main
Ephraim, Utah 84627
www.cuartcenter.org
Open House, Saturday, January 20, 6-8pm
Exhibition: Jan 20-Feb 22
Saturday's open house will mark three major events at the CUAC. We will introduce Jared Latimer, the CUAC's new director; Peter Finnemore, a major European artist will be present to inaugurate his new exhibition; and CUAC
board members will be present to meet the public.
Jared Latimer is a graduate of BYU and Pratt Institute in New York City. Since graduating with his Masters of Fine Art in Painting from Pratt, he has taught part time at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, Art Academy of Cincinnati, University of Cincinnati, and Sinclair College. He has exhibited his art in
several states around the country, including the CUAC two years ago. As a professional artist he has an emphasis in abstract painting, figure drawing, and short films. He has also started his own graphic design firm and worked with major clients such as Honeywell, Proctor and Gamble (Tide, Crest, Biore, others), and Gateway. Latimer will bring a great work ethic, connections from around the country, and a good artistic vision to compliment his emphasis on education and coordination with the community.
Peter Finnemore has had solo exhibitions in seventeen countries including the United States (New York City), Germany, England, Switzerland, Italy, and others. He was included in last years? Venice Biennale, the world's largest and most important art exhibition where he represented his native country of Wales where he still resides. He will be installing new work in the
CUAC this week that is a continuation of his Project Jedi. This installation and collection of short films is loosely based on the US Military?s Project Jedi where marines were trained in special mind control techniques that would help them feel invincible, invisible, and able to conquer their enemies. The
work is a commentary on the absurdity of war, but also is an exploration of Welsh (and by extension, Western) culture and how we have a capacity for violence. His show will be up through the end of February.
