DEEP SPACE. So maybe you're one of those people who's wandered into your bathroom or kitchen and thought, "Hey, just what the hell is going on here?"
Yours/Mine/and the Spaces in Between, an exhibition of oil paintings by Theresa Redinger and mixed media installations by S.J. Gibson, may be right up your alley.
The exhibition explores the relationship between everyday objects and the spaces in which they exist.
Are these objects really necessary?
Redinger examines the essentiality of such objects mainly in the kitchen and bathroom due to the fact that those rooms are the most functional rooms in a house. Throughout her exploration of objects she uses Polaroids to attain images that she later uses in her paintings.
In distancing herself from these objects she is able to examine their roles in her life and her desire to accumulate them.
Redinger is currently a candidate for a master's of fine arts at the UA.
Gibson is currently a bachelor of fine arts student at the UA pursuing a degree in combined media. Gibson primarily works with installation pieces often combining alternative process printmaking and new genre installations.
Gibson has been working with everyday objects and the spaces where they exist as well. She has also been exploring the idea of the space in-between couples in relationships, physically and emotionally.
The show runs through July 8 at Lionel Rombach Gallery, located across from the UA Museum of Art at the corner of Speedway and Park Avenue. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday. For more information, call 626-4215.
