Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:00:00 EST

Flora comes from an idea of bringing the highest quality vase work and ceramics to Rock Hill just in time to surprise that special someone for Valentines Day. Plus as an added perk, Up will also provide the “flora” for those patrons purchasing a vase during the reception on February 9.

Both Jenni Brant and Jennifer Mecca make elegant and carefully crafted vessels and ceramic ware meant to ritualize, celebrate, and bring merriment to the traditions found around the dinner table. Their elaborate surface treatments bring a level of sophistication to their utilitarian forms.

Conjoined Opposites: Indrani Nayar-Gall
Elizabeth Dunlap Patrick Gallery
Gallery Hours: Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm
Exhibition Closed: 3/12-3/16

The exhibition Conjoined Opposites reflects Indrani’s thoughts on migration, identity, loss, memory and displacement. Her personal life’s journey from her native India to different geographical regions has made her aware of these issues. By combining two dimensional with three dimension and time-based media, color with absence of color; perfect forms of spheres/circles with deformed or organic; prickly hard with soft flesh-like yarns; smooth transparent with opaque and menacing, her work attempts to understand the paradox of conjoined opposites, the fear/trauma/sadness/loss/death with hope/dream of life that exist within all of us. This exhibition explores her shift from personal to global narratives, either examining stories of loss and displacement in social and political contexts, or the ability of the displaced to mend these opposites within themselves. The imagery uses intimate juxtapositions of small groups of opposites, explores the simple power of repetition, or even experiments with light and natural forms or elements. The resulting effect traverses diverse expressive spaces, from minimalistic to tactile, from stationary to transitory and temporal.

Marisol

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:00:00 EST

February 15-18, 8 p.m. and February 19, 2 p.m.
Marisol
By José Rivera
Johnson Theatre
Reserved Seating
$8 with Winthrop ID/$15 general admission

Marisol’s guardian angel confides that she is leaving Marisol’s side to lead the angels in revolt against God for the sake of the universe. Marisol is left searching for her friend and her identity in a world spun off its axis, where the moon goes unseen, apples are extinct, and the water has lost the shore. She navigates her way through a violent, absurd, post-apocalyptic urban landscape, and her journey culminates in an epic celestial battle. Along the way she crosses borders of belonging, of nationality and of faith in order to regain balance. Rivera’s work calls for belief in the unbelievable in order to see the hope in reality. Adult Language. Adult Content.
