7/15/2011: Liz Miller: Illusive Insurgency: Artist Talk & Gallery Opening July 15, 2011

1708 Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition—Illusive Insurgency, a site-specific mixed media installation by Minnesota artist Liz Miller. In Illusive Insurgency, Miller offers a narrative about the contemporary “dilemma of unchecked growth.” Miller’s shapes and forms suggest the profound beauty of flora-like forms and charge the exhibit with a seductive power. Miller configures her repetitive forms and shapes to transform the space of the gallery. The expansive scale and space-altering dimension of her installation stand as metaphors for “issues such as environmental devastation and population growth.” The exhibition’s opening reception will occur on Friday, July 15 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will feature a talk by the artist at 6:30 and complimentary hors d’oeuvres with a cash bar. The exhibition will remain on view through Saturday, August 20.
