RedLine Gallery has a reputation for housing exhibitions with a global stretch, but once annually, it shines the spotlight on its greatest asset: its own diverse group of resident artists, who paint, sculpt, install and create on the premises in studios awarded for two-year terms. For this year’s resident-artist exhibition, An Invisible Boundary, 26 artists working in a rainbow of mediums and disciplines will take to the floor and walls of RedLine.
For Boundary, curator Carmen Winant challenged the residents to produce works inspired by poems addressing blindness by Jorge Luis Borges. “As I went from studio to studio to look at and discuss the artists’ ongoing projects, I was struck by the discrepancy be-tween the content of the poems I was reading and the nature of our conversations and impulses around visual art,” she says. “I wondered if there was a way to bridge the gap between the two kinds of perception: sight and non-sight, perceptibility and the invisible. How, in other words, could visual art approach the qualities and conditions of blindness?”
The show opens tonight with a public reception from 7 to 10 p.m. and runs through December 29 at RedLine, 2350 Arapahoe Street; get more information at redlineart.org.
Tuesdays-Sundays. Starts: Oct. 26. Continues through Dec. 29, 2013
