SHIFTING UTILITY
Recent works by Shannon Rae Lindsey
Tempus Main Gallery
July 13 – August 24, 2019
Opening :: 7–9PM, Saturday, July 13, 2019
The proposed exhibition will include a large-scale site-specific installation that will respond to and expose elements of the gallery space, in addition to two-dimensional mixed media works. The work will embody notions of disorder through man-made construction materials that challenge their conventional context, setting, and function. I hope to inspire reflection on the role of perception when understanding utility and entropy. The materials will reiterate a sense of irreversible change through physical manipulations and forms installed throughout the space.
Through installation, sculpture, and drawing, my work embodies notions of order and disorder with man-made construction materials that challenge their conventional context, setting, and utility. I hope to inspire reflection on the role of perception when understanding utility and entropy. By exhibiting these materials outside of their traditional context, I encourage viewers to consider the definitions of useful, useless, ordered, and disordered as elusive and subject to change through perception and comparison. These terms may never be entirely true nor entirely false; they exist somewhere between.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Shannon Rae Lindsey received her MFA in Studio Art from the University of South Carolina and her BFA in Fine Arts from the University of South Florida. She has participated in exhibitions nationally as an interdisciplinary artist who explores drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation with unconventional art materials and processes. Her work embodies order and disorder to manifest her understanding of entropy. Lindsey currently resides in Orlando, Florida and works as the UCF Art Gallery Director and teaches undergraduate and graduate Studio Art courses at the University of Central Florida.
