Presented by 701 Center for Contemporary Art at 701 Center for Contemporary Art

🆃🅷🅴 🆂🅷🅰🅿🅴 🅾🅵 🆃🅷🅸🅽🅶🆂, 701 CCA’s first exhibition of 2020, will run from January 16 to March 1, with an 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟭𝟲, 𝟳–𝟵 𝗽𝗺. Both the reception and gallery admission are free and open to the public.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 is defined visually by artworks with distinctive shapes that, as a group, occupy an area where abstraction and representation meet. Some of the work has clear representational elements, but on certain levels can read as abstract or even non-objective. Other works are mostly abstract, but trigger associations with the representational world. The exhibition shows that the lines between abstraction and representation are not always drawn sharply, both conceptually and visually.

Artists exhibiting in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 are: Daniel Bare (Central), Nick Boismenu (Columbia), Mark Brosseau (Greenville), Sharon Campbell (Travelers Rest), Betsy Chaffin (Okatie), Mike Dwyer (Columbia), Tolulope Filani (Orangeburg), Morgan Kinne (Charleston), Liz Rundorff Smith (Greenville), Melissa Stang (Columbia), Kathleen Thum (Central), Brittany Watkins (Columbia), and John Wright (Estill).
