"meanwhile"

ON VIEW: November 18 ? December 17, 2005

CHICAGO, IL ? ThreeWalls is pleased to present "meanwhile," a two-person exhibition of current work by Tessa Windt (Pittsburgh) and Jenny Walters (Chicago). "meanwhile" is space and time at the in-between; the membrane through which memory, desire and longing pass. Windt?s sculptural forms, although deflated are still luscious, while Walter?s images of empty blankets retain their poignancy and hope despite their depiction of absence. Although the body has vacated these artworks, they retain the trace of presence, both remainder and reminder, embodying both the potential and the surplus of life and love.

Jenny Walters is a local artist who works in photography and video. She has exhibited widely, including locally at Chicago Filmmaker?s and 1/Quarterly as well as in New York, Germany and the Netherlands. She recently completed a residency at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida where this new work was completed. She received her MFA from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2004. Jenny Walters currently teaches at DePaul University.

Tessa Windt completed her MFA at Ohio State University in 2002. Her solo exhibitions include let fall at Zone Gallery and Sculpture Park, Kansas City, Missouri; occasional respite, Sherman Studio Art Center, The Ohio State University, Columbus as well as solo and group exhibitions in Vancouver and Pittsburgh. She is currently adjunct faculty in Ceramics and Sculpture, Chatham College, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

meanwhile is curated by Shannon Stratton.
