Fourth Friday receptions operate from 7-10 pm near the corner of Fourth and Hull Streets. Free parking is avaibable in the Plant Zero lot. You are invited to the opening reception for Amie Oliver’s “Walk the Walk” at Plant Zero in Richmond, VA on Fourth Friday, September 28. The artist reception is from 7-10pm and is part of the Fourth Friday Artwalk, located at 0 E. 4th Street in Manchester and is free and open to the public. “Walk the Walk” consists of Oliver’s most recent paintings, drawings and bookworks, many of which originated in France during her 2006 residency at the Cite Internationale des Arts in Paris and Moulin a Nef in Auvillar, France. In Auvillar she discovered a parallel between her interest in figurative work and the French landscape. This collection of Portraits, Sunflowers and Stormy Weather features a catalogue with an essay by Howard Risatti and will be on view in the Project Space Gallery at Plant Zero until December 23. This exhibition in three acts will be underscored by a performance/reading on Friday, Oct 26 at 7:30pm and the premiere of her latest video work on Nov 2. Oliver moved to Virginia from New Orleans, LA in 1986 and has maintained a studio in Richmond, VA since 1988. She has studied or worked in artist residencies in Paris, Germany, S. Korea, Virginia and Vermont. Her work has been exhibited from Maine to New Orleans and internationally in France, Turkey, Germany and Scotland.

A portion of the sales from “Walk the Walk” will be dontated to the Virginia Center for Creative Arts. MICHAEL A. PIERCE September 28 through October 28 Frable and Helena Davis Galleries The installation of the work in this show has been heavily influenced by my recent experiences with bookmaking. I’ve installed the work as diptychs – or in the language of books – “two-page spreads.” It’s the content that’s important here. Each diptych consists of one square image based on a close-up photo of a man’s face and a second identically-sized square image based on a close-up photo of a rabbit’s face. My goal is for the juxtaposition of these images, each two-page spread, to cause you to consider the concept of male identity, beauty and sexuality; at the same time I want you to question just how safe (or unsafe) you feel examining these issues.” For more info on my work please click here. - Michael A. Pierce, July 2007 Michael will donate a portion of his sales to Equality Virginia.

Marilee KeysSeptember 10th, 2007 St. Louis artist Marilee Keys and 1708 Exhibition LiasonDaniel Calder at the preview for her installation Outside/In. Outside In is a site specific installation which utilizes Keys junk mail collected over the past 9 months with pine needles and leaves. Utilizing a contemporary version of the old technique of paper quilling, Keys has constructed an environment with works off the walls, floor and and ceiling to create “a new topography, with paper, shadows, space and volume.”
1708 as a “floating garden” is kinetic, poetic and relevant and a lovely zen counter to the busy flux of a new season on the Broad St Corridor.

LEADEDSeptember 3rd, 2007THE MATERIALITY AND METAMORPHOSIS OF GRAPHITE
University of Richmond Museums Joel and Lila Harnett Museum of Art Curated by N. Elizabeth Schlatter
On view August 23 to September 30, 2007, Leaded: The Materiality and Metamorphosis of Graphite features more than forty contemporary artworks by seventeen international artists who utilize the physical nature and visual characteristics of graphite and pencils as content in their two- and three-dimensional work. While employing a fundamental drawing medium, the art in the exhibition stands outside of the generalized history of modern drawing. The role of mark-making is subsumed or completely absent from many of the pieces. Likewise, representation is a secondary motivation. - University of Richmond Museums Web Site Workshop: Museum hours: Tuesday – Sunday, 1 – 5pm. Admission is free. Call 804.289.8276 fro information and directions.
