Art Opening – Transfer – 4/13 at SSCA Gallery

I enjoy looking at art, it revitalizes me. Really good art , seduces me. Bad art psychoanalyzes me, it brings me out of a shell and makes me want to do more with the visual arts. So really when you think about it, there is no bad art. It all has an effect on us somehow. Now some of you might say, is Rift saying there is going to be bad art at this opening. No, that wasn’t what Rift was saying at all. Rift is saying all art is good for someone and how are you ever going to find out if you don’t go check it out. Expand your horizons, and read the following description of this art show from their Facebook page. It will blow your mind.

The Soap Factory Presents: R.U.R.

R.U.R. is a group exhibition of nine artists delving into what craft means in the age of mechanical reproduction.

The exhibition’s title, R.U.R., comes from Rossum’s Universal Robots, the 1921 Czech play by Karel Capek, which first coined the word ‘robot.’ Rossum’s Universal Robots gave life to the artificial man, the tireless worker who eventually became rebellious and worked to overthrow their masters. 

Like the ‘robots’ in Rossum’s Universal Robots, the works in this exhibition will question the manufacture of human identity inherent in work, and seek to understand if the construction of identity in humans is as artificial like that of the ‘robot.’

The participating nine artists are: Isabelle Hayeur, Colin Lyons, Nadine Anderson, Kimberly Greene, Judith Hoffman, Amy Ritter, Katie Murken, Pritika Chowdhry and Dustin Yager. 

Opening reception: March 2, 2013, 7:00-11:00 PM

Exhibition Runs: March 2 – April 21, 2013
