Knoxville Museum of Art Offers Big Exhibition of Small Works
Museum of Art, 1050 World's Fair Park Drive
Mar 28th - Aug 24th, 2008
The exhibition includes 42 works by some of America’s most important painters including Thordis Adalsteinsdottir, Justin Allen, and Francis Alÿs.
The miniature proportions of the works in Size Matters: XS represent a new interest among contemporary artists in exploring the expressive possibilities of small-scale painting. Abstraction, figuration, photo-realism, and caricature are just a few of the art historical genres reinterpreted by artists in the exhibition.
Size Matters: XS – Recent Small-Scale Painting is organized by the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art (HVCCA), Peekskill, New York.
HVCCA founders and exhibition co-curators Marc and Livia Straus discuss Size Matters: XS on Wednesday, April 2 from 12 – 1pm as part of the KMA’s Dine and Discover series. This event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required. To reserve a seat or a lunch, contact Rosalind Martin at 865-525-6101, ext. 226.
