Jack Ryan, Scriabin’s Mustache Jack Ryan, Scriabin’s Mustache
Alexander Scriabin was a Russian composer whose life and eccentricities becomes a conceptual nexus for this collection of work. Killed by combing and rupturing a carbuncle nested in his flamboyant mustache, Scriabin’s life and musical oeuvre is an opportunity to construct and explore Ryan’s interest in conspiracies of form and the poetics of ideas.

Brian Gillis, ...on Wednesday Brian Gillis, …on Wednesday
Gillis as a storyteller asks a lot of questions both of his audience and himself. Gillis’s work is socially relevant, audience activated, and engaged. His installation of juxtaposed images, objects, and even spaces call to summon stories that elicit rich metaphors and social exchanges in an effort to arouse awareness, introspection and valuation.

Mary Warner Flower Shower Mary Warner Flower Shower
Cascade Gallery starts its 2009-2010 programming with a refreshing flower shower by painter Mary Warner. For centuries, artists of this genre have sought to capture the beauty of flowers emulating floral luster, colors and textures. The fragility and short life of flowers can seemingly be averted through the perceptibly permanent medium of oil paint on canvas. Posted October 7, 2009
