Facing Fences - Southern Maryland ~ A Collaboration in Community Dialogue
January 17 - March 4, 2011
"A boundary is not that at which something stops, but....that from which something begins." — Martin Heidegger
 |
A traveling Smithsonian Institution exhibition, Between Fences, was the catalyst for a regional exploration of rights of way. In conjunction with the Smithsonian show there were complementary community-wide initiatives on the theme of fences entitled, Facing Fences – Southern Maryland. Community groups exhibited displays in the Boyden Gallery and offered listening circles, panel sessions, speakers, film series, demonstrations, and high school classes across the Southern Maryland region to complement the Smithsonian exhibition. Visit this link to get a glimpse of what was offered. Between Fences is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and the Maryland Humanities Council. In Facing Fences, the Boyden Gallery partnered with Historic St. Mary’s City, The SlackWater Center and The Center for the Study of Democracy at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, the Community Mediation Centers of Calvert and St. Mary’s Counties, and numerous affiliated community organizations. |

Tenterhooks
October 25 - November 19, 2010
|
|
Tenterhooks was a two-person exhibition featuring the work of Karley Klopfenstein and Anja Marais. Both artists work in "soft" mediums with work that is incredibly labor intensive. Each artist deals with issues that arise when one society or culture dominates another, whether through war, occupation, or in the name of freedom, religion or civilization. Via carpeted sculptures, Klopfenstein's work addresses our current political situation in Iraq and the inherent contradictions of war, while Marais' paper figures prompt the exploration of the social constructs of colonialism and identity. "Tenterhooks"refers to the use of hooks in the sizing of woolen fabric in the Middle Ages;by the eighteenth century, it became associated with a feeling of unease or anxiety. These two artists view their works as both softly tender and deadly serious. |
