Root Division: un*bound*ed. Curated by Brent Hallard and Don Voisine.
Artists: Alain Biltereyst, N. Dash, Linda Francis, Anette Haas, Brent Hallard, Gilbert Hsiao, Prajakti Jayavant, Kyle Jenkins, Tarn McLean, Mel Prest, Zachary Royer Scholz, Bret Slater, Dean Smith, Tim Stapel, Kirk Stoller, Richard van der Aa, Don Voisine, Joan Waltemath.
Comment by AB: After perusing the preamble-- peppered with verbiage like genre-crossing, perception, cognition, preconception, contemporary formal painting, subverting, and the like-- I think you need at least a BFA to understand this. Just curious, but would the opposite of "contemporary formal painting" be vintage casual painting? Fortunately, no degrees are necessary to appreciate the quality of work on display from this international assemblage of artists.

Comment by AB: This month's art fest at the White Walls/Shooting Gallery mega-plex features collaborative work-- APEX paint over Misha Vladimirskiy photographs-- in the front gallery, a clean geometric APEX solo show in the center gallery, Aaron Li-Hill's action painting overlays in the left project room along with a prodigious installation in the back gallery, and rounding the dealie bob out are eerie character studies by Marco Rea in the right project room.
