Su·per·Nat·u·ral: (adjective & noun) a manifestation or event attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature. GARNER Arts Center and Curator at Large Jonathan Shorr present SuperNatural a group exhibition which brings together a wide range of ingenious and clever creators. Each artist, in their own inimitable way, is daring to challenge contemporary understanding and nature.

With this exhibition GARNER continues to exhibit artists who are attempting to explore, in narrative and technique, forms that are unprotected by rules and history. Language has it’s own special nature, it’s own conventions and communal ideas. But if language doesn’t change, if it seeks refuge in those conventions and if the communal ideas reflect only the past, language dies. The artists here, in their struggles against ingrained habits and familiar assumptions, are taking us to different places, to fictitious situations.

Gallery Exhibitions:

STEVE GERBERICH
Best of Springs, Sprockets & Pulleys
Building 35 - Main Gallery
Gallery Hours: Friday 2-5pm | Saturday 1-8pm | Sunday 1-5pm

(Steve) Gerberich describes his work as “a mixture of 1 cup Duchamp, 3 teaspoons Calder, 2 tablespoons Kienholz, ½ cup Cornell, 1 pound Rauschenberg and a sprinkle of Tinguely.” With his quirky style, sense of humor, aesthetic, and philosophy, Gerberich creates sculptures that draw the viewer into the action.  “Push a button or spin a crank,” he says, “and these marvels come alive: buzzing, whirring, squeaking, humming, clanking, chugging, flashing, and blinking… this is analog work for the digital age.”

POLLY KING
New Works
Building 35 - Ned Harris Gallery
Gallery Hours: Friday 2-5pm | Saturday 1-8pm | Sunday 1-5pm

Polly King has lived and worked in Nyack, NY for more than twenty years. She works on wood and paper, using collage, flashe paint and any other materials that seem right at the time. Drawing is integral to her work as well as layering, and typically she keeps many pieces going at the same time. Her work walks a line between abstraction and representation, believing they are one and the same. Many of her collage elements come from photographs she took while traveling or at carnivals or walking the streets of New York.
