Commentary/Herself

May 28 - June 27, 2009

June Bisantz, Jennifer Knaus, Rachel Siporin

The exhibition will seek to investigate the ways in which autobiography and narrative link the work of these three artists, Jennifer Knaus (www.jenniferknaus.com) , June Bisantz (www.junebisantz.com) ,and Rachel Siporin (www.rachelsiporin.com) ,.  Commentary/Herself will focus on the parallels, as these artists, whose work frequently involves contrasting processes and media, reflect on contemporary, social, and political issues.  Bisantz, Knaus, and Siporin use the vantage point of the self to comment in ways that are unique and personal, as well as undeniably feminist. In addition, the exhibition will investigate the similarities that exist as the artists juxtapose disparate images as they construct their work, even though the process employed in the evolution of these image contrasts, from digital processes employed by Bisantz, to freehand drawing utilized by Knaus and Siporin
