Celebrate Northwest Art & Artists

Contemporary Northwest Art Awards   On view through September 11 The second Contemporary Northwest Art Awards exhibition showcases the work of seven exceptional Northwest artists: Chris Antemann, John Buck, John Grade, Jerry Iverson, Susie Lee, Megan Murphy, and Michelle Ross. The artists' work ranges from delicate, figurative porcelain vignettes to heroic-scale sculpture, and from film and video installations to glass and mixed-media painting.   CNAA Events and Programs   Opening Celebration Saturday, June 18, 6-9 p.m. View the exhibition and celebrate the seven Contemporary Northwest Art Award recipients at a reception in the Fred and Suzanne Fields Ballroom. One artist, selected by the Museum's curators and Director Brian Ferriso, will be awarded the $10,000 Arlene Schnitzer Prize. $15 members; $20 non-members; reservations required. Tickets available online and on site. Artist Talks & Tours Thursday, June 16 6 p.m. Lecture; 6:45 p.m. Tour Join Contemporary Northwest Art Award recipient Chris Antemann as she talks about her work and leads a tour of the exhibition. Inspired by 18th-century porcelain figurines, Antemann's work examines and parodies traditional gender roles. Her ceramics espouse a Rococo decadence that is oddly contemporary and feminist. She earned her MFA in ceramics from the University of Minnesota and her BFA in ceramics and painting from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She has exhibited extensively in the United States and China. She is the 2010 First Place Winner of the Virginia A. Groot Grant. $5 members; $12 non-members. Space is limited to the first 45 ticket holders. Advance tickets available online and on site.     LEFT TO RIGHT, details: Michelle Ross, Perfect Storm, 2009-2010, oil and paper on panel; John Grade, Fold, 2008-2010, wood cast in resin; Chris Antemann, Feast of Impropriety, 2010, 3 section centerpiece, dining table with 16 figures, porcelain with decals, luster, and china paint; Megan Murphy, Deliverance: Spiral Jetty, 2010, digital transparency, laminated between glass and mirror with layers of oil paint; Susie Lee, Still Lives: Jupiter Shall Return, 2010, HD video in LED TV; John Buck, Once in a Blue Moon, 2008, wood, acrylic, and motor; Jerry Iverson, Line Bomb 14, 2009, sumi ink and paper on board.
