2007-2008 Season

Timea Tihanyi
The Unexpected Momentum of Small Things in a Space Occupied by Other Small (and Relatively Large) Objects
February 7 - February 29

reception FEBRUARY 7, 2008, 6 – 8 p.m.

Gallery4Culture is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Seattle artist Timea Tihanyi.

The sprawling grid of delicate handmade paper and felt combined with video in the room-sized installation creates an illusion of landscape. The work explores parallel relationships of space and movement, the physical body and its environment. Inspired by observing and encountering the landscape during her daily runs and hikes, Tihanyi's installation considers how public and private spaces intersect, where the borders are, and how intimate and physical experiences occur.

This exhibition grew out of a 2007 NEA funded residency at the Women's Studio Workshop in Rosendale, NY.

A reception will be held on February 7, 2008, the first Thursday of the month, during the Downtown Artwalk, from 6:00 - 8:00 P.M. The public is encouraged to attend. The exhibition will run from February 7 - February 29, 2008.

Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., closed government holidays; the gallery is open and free to the public. For more information about this program call 206. 296.8674.

In 1979, King County Arts Commission's visual arts coordinator, Mickey Gustin Hardman, began a gallery with little more than some foam core and linen and a visionary spirit. Sadly, Mickey died this year. Her legacy continues through the Gallery 4Culture program which provides artists not represented by commercial galleries with opportunities for one-person shows. She will be remembered as a fierce advocate for artists and a pivotal figure in shaping the Seattle arts community.
