Exhibition September 6 - October 13, 20

Opening Reception: Friday, September 9, 2011 5:00 - 8:00 pm

In Opposites Attract sculptors are paired with artists working in other disciplines, or with practitioners of a completely different discipline, to create a new synergistic art form. Some artists are collaborating to create a new work of art together, while others are presenting two different works incorporating a unifying concept.

Joanna Platt and Jenna Hannum have both explored concepts related to bones, spines, the central nervous system and synaptic activity in previous works. Their new collaborative installation, Polarity, incorporates printmaking paper, graphite, video, electrical conduit, and electricity. It looks at how signals and messages travel through the spine and it represents how ideas pass from artist to artist.

Gallery 224 is on the 2nd floor of Anderson Hall, 333 S. Broad Street, Philadelphia. Gallery hours during the exhibition are Monday – Friday, 8:30 – 5:00.

In addition, the gallery will be open during the Philadelphia Open Studios Tour Saturday, Oct. 1 and Sunday, Oct. 2 from noon – 6 pm.   The University of the Arts Gallery 224, Anderson Hall 333 S. Broad Street Philadelphia, PA
