PrintLocal female artists' shows in February
Where to see art in Tulsa this month.
Rebecca Hutchinson, “Bloom Dynamics”
Rebecca Hutchinson, installation artist and associate professor of ceramics at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, exhibits work at the Alexandre Hogue Gallery through Feb. 18. Influenced in part by environmental concerns, her work “focuses on the respect for craft and the endless influences found in nature,” according to a press release. Through weaving and wrapping sticks, natural fibers, handmade paper and gauze with fortified liquid clay, Hutchinson’s installations almost always remain unfired.
Alexandre Hogue Gallery, The University of Tulsa, 2935 E. Fifth St.; 631-2202; www.utulsa.edu
The House of Maps: An Installation by Yiren Gallagher
The Tulsa Artists’ Coalition’s First Friday Art Crawl will launch with Yiren Gallagher’s site-specific installation “The House of Maps.” Stop by and witness the gallery’s metamorphosis into a fictional map room that explores intangible themes, such as happiness, disappointment and memory. Gallagher’s installation will reflect human stories through 2-D fragments, creating what she calls “a room that has no history but story.” The artist says “the human map is here and everyone has a spot in it.”
Feb. 5-27; opening reception, 6-9 p.m., Feb. 5. TAC Gallery, 9 E. Brady St.; 592-0041; www.tacgallery.org
Singular Impressions: Prints from the Herbert and Roseline Gussman Collection
Prints by influential European artists, such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró, will be on display at Philbrook Museum of Art now through April 4. The works, dating from 1890 to 1960, are indicative of the artistic trends that characterized the advent of modern art. On display through April 4.
Works on Paper Gallery, Philbrook Museum, 2727 S. Rockford Road; 749-7941; www.philbrook.org
Living Arts
Living Arts of Tulsa has a full schedule this month, beginning with Modern Materials: “The Art of the Quilt,” which features 30 quilted works from 24 fiber artists across the nation. Representing the most innovative quilting artists in the United States, the exhibit places special emphasis on 3-D works that are displayed off the wall. Tulsan Jean Ann Fausser is one of the artists selected by curator Jill Rumoshosky Werner to re-interpret the modern-day quilt.
Feb. 5-25; opening reception, 5-9 p.m., Feb. 5. Living Arts, 307 E. Brady St.; 585-1234; www.livingarts.org
February comes to a close with Living Arts’ 17th annual New Genre Festival starting Feb. 25 and continuing until March 7.
Nontraditional art forms expressed through visual art, theater, dance and video are celebrated as the festival hosts an eclectic array of artists. Multiple venues participate over two weekends to highlight the experimental and often interdisciplinary exhibits.
