GRID WORKS at Aarhus Gallery
Andrea Martens. Sprawling Confinement, Intaglio (dry point) on handmade paper, graphite, charcoal on canvas; 58" x 74

Please join Åarhus Gallery Friday April 2, 5-8pm for the Opening Reception of GRID WORKS. The exhibition of Maine artists working with grids will run from April 1-May 2, 2010.

Grids are handy for organizing things like streets in New York, or screws, nails and buttons in nifty plastic containers. Grids are good for grilling veggies or playing football on. Of course there’s the National Grid for delivering electricity, but it’s not really in the shape of a grid. Grids help us track and plan our lives by the day, week or month and they help hold concrete together. The game of checkers?....grid. Grids are everywhere, even in nature and they can be curiously appealing, in fact sometimes the darn things acan look quite beautiful. Åarhus has lined up a mesh of artists that use grids in their work in one aspect or another and the Åarhus partners will find a way in edgewise to show their griddy work as well.

The artists represented will be: Ragna Bruno, Sissy Buck, Ingrid Ellison, Joshua Ferry, Annadeene K. Fowler, Jay Gibson, Marc Leavitt, Kevin Johnson, Mark Kelly, Richard Mann, Andrea Martens, Abbie Read, Wesley Reddick, Willy Reddick, Mike Rich, Bob Richardson, Jay Sawyer, Jessica Stammen.

Åarhus Gallery is located at 50 Maine St. Belfast and is open year round. Winter hours are February –May, Thursday-Sunday 12 noon-6 pm, by chance or by appointment. For more information call 338-0001 or visitwww.aarhusgallery.com where a slideshow of the current works are available.
