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.
