Lilly Martin Spencer

The exhibition of Lilly Martin Spencer Women’s Work closes Sunday at the Hunter Museum of American Art in Chattanooga. Visit the Hunter page on Art Museum Touring.com (Link...), also see their summer events on our Events page (Link...). This show examines the work of Lilly Martin Spencer. Spencer was one of the few women in 19th century America who earned her living as an artist. Today scholars of American art study her paintings to learn more about the dynamics of domestic life in the mid 19th century.

The Knoxville Museum of Art exhibition Video Art/3 Visions closes May 4. It presents three independent video works that demonstrate the range of expressive and technical possibilities within this thriving art medium. (Link...)

In Going Places Sitting Down (2004), Hiraki Sawa

Jenny Perlin, Peter Sarkisian, and Hiraki Sawa are acknowledged masters of electronic media who approach their materials in distinctly different ways with dramatically different results. Perlin focuses on the effects of sound and editing, Sarkisian on the physical effect of video footage projected onto three-dimensional forms, and Sawa on subtle, poetic imagery linked to childhood and domestic environments. Video Art/3 Visions represents the first time Perlin’s and Sarkisian’s work has been shown in Tennessee.

It is an intriguing show. Hurry and see it before it closes.
