Project Series 35: Evan Holloway
March 1 - May 17, 2008
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 1, 5 – 7 p.m.
Artist lecture: Tuesday, March 11, 10 a.m.
Evan Holloway will present a new installation based on his
long-term investigations into the history and theory of modernist sculpture.
Holloway’s practice—including sculptures, drawings, sound works, and videos—is
as diverse as his personal studies, topics of research, material choices, and
the objects themselves. Grounded in conceptual art, art history, pop culture,
funk assemblage, and music, Holloway’s works—from the abstract to
the figurative—are fabricated from materials such as steel, plaster, rope, wood,
and often include found objects like batteries, furniture, musical instruments,
etc. Holloway also considers the relationship between his objects, the meanings
of those objects, the viewer’s body, the viewer’s perceptions, and the social
environment and the physical spaces surrounding these elements. Holloway’s work
ultimately succeeds because it combines a personal vision of the world today and
human experience in it, with formal and creative innovations that map sculptural
history.
The Project Series
Now in its tenth year, the Project Series is the Museum's
program of focused exhibitions of work by Southern California artists. Its
purpose is to bring to the Pomona College community art that is experimental and
that introduces new forms, techniques, and concepts. Organized by Rebecca
McGrew, this series is supported in part by the Pasadena Art Alliance and Sarah
Miller Meigs. A catalogue accompanies each exhibition.
