Amy Bagwell: The Factories Don't Install Emotion Tapes

Ross Gallery I

April 3 - June 14, 2013

Opening Reception: April 17, 6-8 pm

Artist Talk: May 2, 12 pm, Ross Gallery I

In "The Factories Don't Install Emotion Tapes", Amy Bagwell explores the boundaries of poetry by re-envisioning the link between poetry and visual art. With an underlying motivation to make poetry more accessible, each piece is an assemblage of found objects, usually mechanical, whose purpose is to highlight the themes and visual presence of her words.

Bagwell's art has been shown in galleries in Atlanta, Charlotte, New York, and Athens. She is an English professor at CPCC and lives in Charlotte with her family.

KIT KUBE: TURBULENT TRAJECTORIES

Ross Gallery II

April 3 - June 14, 2013

Opening Reception: Wednesday, April 17, 6-8 pm

Artist Talk: Friday, April 19, 12 pm, Ross Gallery I

Through his sculpture, Kit Kube explores spheres of movement, visual feedback and interaction with found artifacts, forging symbiotic affinities with elemental forces such as gravity and angular momentum. In “Turbulent Trajectories", remnants from our mechanistic past are reinvented, incorporating movement, light and shadow. The pieces challenge viewers to reinterpret connections to their surroundings. 

Kit Kube began his career designing and building hands-on presentations and theatre at Discovery Place, followed by work designing interactive exhibits around the world. Kube is a Charlotte-based kinetic sculptor investigating scientific, cultural and spiritual concepts through the creation of public and private art.
