This review first appeared in the Vermont Art Zine in November 2010. It was a result of a“Writing About Art” class at Studio Place Arts led by Marc Awodey.
Elizabeth Nelson’s “In Between” show at the Supreme Court is a series of puzzles to be solved. Nelson works in mixed media, but largely acrylics, in this show and in many of the two dozen pieces photographs are hidden, painted over and into the work. A sideways glance down the hall of the exhibit reveals the slightly shiny spots in the pieces that contain the photos, drawing the viewer into a search-and-find game.
Later this month, I’m going to take a class, Writing About Art with Marc Awodey, at Studio Place Arts. I’m so excited! Check out this description:
“There’s more to visual art than meets the eye, and writing about an exhibition contextualizes the show while encouraging the writer to consider work at a deeper level. In this workshop we’ll be visiting and discussing exhibitions at local venues such as the Governor’s office, The Supreme Court lobby, and the T.W. Wood Gallery in addition to spending time with the shows at SPA.
