Upcoming exhibition
Under The Influence: Kirsten Stolle
On view July 16 to October 10
Kirsten Stolle’s Under The Influence will be on view July 16 to October 10 in the Projective Eye Gallery.
Under the Influence is the most recent exhibition of Kirsten Stolle’s research-driven practice. Pivoted at the intersections of art, science, and culture, her work examines the global influence of chemical companies on our food system. Delving into propaganda and greenwashing, Stolle appropriates corporate advertising strategies and aesthetics, highlighting the contradiction between public image and facts. Her recent projects have looked into agribusiness disinformation, chemical company marketing campaigns, and the historical ties between Bayer-Monsanto and chemical warfare.
Kirsten Stolle is an Asheville-based artist working in collage, text-based images, and installation. She is a Pollock-Krasner Grant recipient and her work is in the collections of the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, San Jose Museum of Art, North Carolina Museum of Art, and Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Solo exhibitions include NOME (Berlin), Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, and Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art. Group exhibitions include Balzer Projects (Switzerland), Central Museum of Textiles (Poland), Fridman Gallery (NYC), the Mint Museum, North Carolina Museum of Art, and the Weatherspoon Museum of Art. Her work has been published in Harper’s, The Atlantic, Photograph, Topic, Poetry. She has been awarded residencies at the Bogliasco Foundation, Ucross Foundation, Millay Arts, Blue Mountain Center, Willapa Bay AiR, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Marble House Project, and Ballinglen Arts Foundation.
Miniature/Monumental
Curated by Andrew Leventis and Daniel Rich
On view October 31 to January 14
UNC Charlotte Projective Eye Gallery presents, Miniature, Monumental, a diverse exhibition of artists exploring the psychological effects of miniature and monumental artworks on participants. The exhibition initiates the question, “in what ways does the scale of an artwork affect its viewers?” It draws inspiration from philosophies substantiated in Susan Stewart’s book, On Longing: Narratives of the Miniature, Gigantic, the Souvenir, and the Collection. Do large-scale works produce a sense of awe, as miniature works emit an intimate response in a spectator? Is the “miniature” a metaphor for interiority and the “gigantic” an exaggeration of aspects of the exterior? Does the increase or reduction in scale of the work affect the time and space relations of the everyday world? This exhibition offers an opportunity to explore such theories and more.
