Laura Fritz,
Evident (installation/detail view)
The first big show of 2009 opens this week:
Laura Fritz will launch the 2009 segment of NAAU's
Couture exhibitions with
Evident, one of the most anticipated shows of the series. Conceived and designed specifically for
Couture,
Evident also marks Fritz's first full scale solo appearance in Portland since 2003. (Although
Interspace and
Caseworks 13 made notable appearances.)
Critically
well-received, Fritz's installations elegantly manipulate and distort their surroundings, exploiting the cognitive dissonance created when space is subverted and
no explanation is provided. She retains a high degree of control over her material even as she leaves meaning fully open ended, allowing "human nature to expose itself as a response and rationalization of the unknown."
Opening reception • 6-9pm • January 7
New American Art Union • 922 SE Ankeny St. • 503.231.8294
