Details:

“Artful Conglomerations”

Core Art Space is proud to present “Artful Conglomerations” a juried exhibition of artists from the Front Range and across the country. Juried by Deborah Jang a well-respected Colorado artist working primarily in assemblage.

Core asked artists across the country - What do YOU use to make your art? Do you scavenge for parts and pieces in unusual places and assemble your ideas in creative ways? Do you repurpose materials and integrate them into inventive configurations?

The answer is this exhibition that finds its joy in artful conglomerations. Artists responded with many variations of hanging wall works and free-standing pieces in terms of materials styles and moods. Now it’s up to the viewer to assemble their interpretations of this innovative exhibition.

A bit more about the juror by Deborah Jang. “The word that seems most apt to describe Deborah Jang’s sculptural works is “lyrical” – each piece is built from an assortment of disparate objects which once together find balance and rhythm.” (Zoe Ariyama “Daria Magazine”) “I want to create something that wasn’t there before but encompasses the potential of all the parts” explains Jang. “It is everything everywhere all at once.”

Deborah Jang earned a BFA in Visual Arts from the University of Colorado in 1978. She has been a member of the Art Students League of Denver for over 20 years and has been shown in multiple galleries including the Arvada Center.

The Core Annex will feature

“Dark Fang Redux” - Mark Friday and Deborah Jang

Mark Friday and Deborah Jang each repurpose and assemble random parts into sculptural forms –– some playful some mysterious some lyrical. Their distinctive energies combine to offer an array of shapes textures and visual intrigue.
