SUSANNE MITCHELL AND JENEVE PARRISH

Two new exhibitions at Edge Gallery

June 24th – July 17, 2011

Opening Reception: Friday, June 24^th, 7–10 pm

Denver, CO – Edge Gallery is pleased to present In-BETWEEN, new work by Susanne Mitchell and n ± everything, new work by Jeneve Parrish. The shows open to the public on Friday, June 24th, 2011 with an artists reception scheduled from 7–10 pm at Edge Gallery, 3658 Navajo St. Denver. A First Friday reception is scheduled the following week, July 1st from 7-10 pm. The Gallery is open Fridays from 7–10 pm and Saturdays and Sundays from 1–5 pm or by appointment by calling 303-842-5859 or 503-490-2456. The show runs through July 17, 2011.

Mitchell’s work, In-BETWEEN is inspired by examining her experiences in Africa in relation to her experience of living in the United States. This series of drawings questions notions about happiness and longing, utilizing binary oppositions between and within the two places. Objects and figures act as surrogates for these cultures and create colliding images, which reference issues ranging from starvation and obesity, privilege and poverty, to excess and overindulgence verses need.

Parrish’s series, n ± everything depicts objects and figures as variables in philosophical and existential problems. Two “constants” repeat across the work; stars represent “everything,” or the most one can possibly consider; wallpaper represents “nothing,” or the smallest, most inconsequential thing imaginable, unworthy of consideration. Each picture presents a thought problem where the solution is always “too much,” or “too little,” and Parrish uses meticulous, laborious means to convey the obsession and ultimate frustration of searching for meaning.

Susanne Mitchell (b. 1973, New York) lives and works in Denver, Colorado where she is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Metropolitan State College. She received her BFA from California College of the Arts (1996) and her MFA from University of Colorado, Boulder (2007). Susanne has traveled extensively in Africa and has lived and worked for periods of time in a remote village in Malawi. These events inform her current artistic work, which address subjects such as dislocation and disparity. Her artwork has been featured in numerous exhibitions including Craft and Folk Art Museum (Los Angeles, CA), Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Medellín, Colombia) and Clos de L’Abbaye (Paris, France).

Jeneve Parrish (b. 1977, Portland, OR) is an visual artist living and working in Denver. Her work explores questions of perception, representation and illusion, and the construction of personas. Parrish currently teaches drawing and design at Metropolitan State College in Denver. She received her Master of Fine Art degree in 2008 at Washington State University and her Bachelor of Fine Art degree from The Oregon College of Art & Craft in 2005. Recent exhibitions include “the Door” at 29 Ludlow St. (NY, NY), Kentucky Neuroscience Institute (Lexington, KY), the Old Court House Arts Center (Woodstock, IL) and Blackfish Gallery (Portland, OR).

Metropolitan State College has a special place in Denver's art world. Not only does it have the biggest set of visual-arts departments in the state, but it has its own mini-museum, the Center for Visual Art, long a fixture in LoDo and now the jewel of the Santa Fe art district. These two factors come together in Collective Nouns, a group show featuring members of the art faculty from the college.
