OH! MARY MARY MARY
Solo Exhibition by Will Douglas including collaborations with Matthew Drennan Wicks
April 5 – May 6, 2019
Tempus Project Space
OPENING RECEPTION :: 7–9pm, Friday, April 5, 2019
Tempus Projects presents Oh! Mary Mary Mary, a solo exhibition by Tampa based artist Will Douglas. Oh! Mary Mary Mary is an exhibition of works by Will Douglas made in response to the ways in which spontaneous screen-based collage influences and complicates our perception of the 3-dimensional world. In these works, religious imagery and ritual objects serve as a vehicle to speak about the construction of an experience economy at the intersection of consumerism, masculinity and devotion. Oh! Mary Mary Mary features sculptural collaborations with Matthew Drennan Wicks which allow the photographic language to speak, not only through the lens but also through the object. With these works the photograph returns to a form that references the history of western functional object making.

Recent Works by Christine McCarty
April 5 – May 6, 2019
Cunsthaus
Opening :: Friday, April 5, 7–9pm
The exhibition features McCarty’s new body of drawings that examine the intersections and contradictions of temptation, competition, and irreverence. The pieces feature passive and active depictions of growth and conflict, culling from sources such as plant propagation, mixed martial arts, and weaponry. Through the fetishizing and fusion of these figures and objects, she restructures the them to blur the line between the revered and impure. Lines and layers featuring composite and grafted forms serve to track and dismantle tropes of structure and muscularity and their dispersal across popular culture to reach the apex of danger and sensuality.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Christine McCarty is a visual artist residing in Brandon, FL. McCarty was born in New York and raised in Michigan before moving to Florida in 2003. She earned her BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Central Florida and her MFA at the University of South Florida.

She also currently teaches at the University of South Florida and Pasco-Hernando State College.
