"Plainsight, Plainspoken" Corey Antis & Anna Neighbor

March 30 - May 12, 2012

Greenlease Gallery presents “Plainsight, Plainspoken,” a two-person exhibition featuring the works of artists Corey Antis and Anna Neighbor. The exhibition opens with a 6:30 p.m. talk by the artists followed by a 7-9 p.m. reception Friday, March 30, in the Greenlease Gallery.

Both Antis, a painter, and Neighbor, a multimedia artist, utilize traditional and non-traditional materials. Working in a minimalist capacity, Antis and Neighbor invite the viewer to consider how material, time and experience can be engaged while viewing these works.

Antis' works reaffirm painting's potential to transform the familiar into the uncanny. He earned his bachelor's degrees in painting and English at Cornell University before completing a master's degree in painting at Tyler School of Art at Temple University. He has had group exhibitions at Frieze Projects in the UK, MassMoca, a solo exhibition at Booster and Seven Gallery in Chicago, and Rebekah Templeton Gallery in Philadelphia. Antis teaches painting at the Kansas City Art Institute.

Neighbor uses rubbings, imprints, photography, videos, mirrors and simple drawings to address existence beyond morality. Neighbor earned her bachelor's degree in photography at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, and her master's degree in photography at Tyler School of Art, Temple University. She has had recent solo exhibitions at Vox Populi and Fleisher Memorial in Philadelphia and group exhibitions at the Tate Modern in London and X-Initiative in NYC. Neighbor teaches photography at the University of Pennsylvania and Moore College of Art and Design.

The public is invited to hear the artists discuss their works at 6:30 p.m., followed by a reception from 7-9 p.m. Friday, March 30, in the Greenlease Gallery at Rockhurst University.
