The series will focus primarily on emerging and mid-career artists in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. The 2010 Represent exhibition features Baltimore artists Magnolia Laurie and Dawn Gavin. Scottish artist Dawn Gavin has been a Baltimore-based artist and professor at the University of Maryland since 2001. Gavin was a finalist for The Janet and Walter Sondheim Prize in 2008 and was named one of the “Ten Best Baltimore Artists of 2008” by the Baltimore Arts Examiner. Gavin has exhibited her work throughout the United States, including exhibitions in Miami, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, New York, Chicago, and New Orleans as well as internationally in London, England, and Glasgow and Dundee, Scotland. Gavin has written for Urbanite Magazine (Baltimore), Circa Arts Magazine (Ireland), and was a contributing editor for Transcript: A Journal of Visual Culture (Scotland). Gavin describes her artistic process as follows: “More often than not, I conscript and amend ‘found’ visual documents, such as maps, passports and film footage to inform and develop my work, and in turn mediate its content. Through the combined processes of alteration, isolation and dissection, the assimilation of these materials into my own visual lexicon, correspondingly embodies the dual attributes of presence and absence, antecedent and latent possibility. The work that emerges from such a strategy accordingly retains something of the materials’ prior history, in combination with my own new directive.” To learn more about Dawn Gavin, please visit her website: www.dawngavin.com. Represent: Baltimore (Part II) 9:00 AM Cora Miller Gallery, The Evelyn and Earle Wolf Hall "Magnolia Laurie: Ground Dwelling" August 27 - September 22, 2010 Opening reception: September 2, 2010, 5 - 7 pm Gallery talk: September 2, 2010, 5:30 pm, Cora Miller Gallery The Represent series is an annual exhibition highlighting contemporary art trends in the major metropolitan areas closest to York College. The series will focus primarily on emerging and mid-career artists in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. The 2010 Represent exhibition features Baltimore artists Magnolia Laurie and Dawn Gavin. Magnolia Laurie is an artist-in-residence at the Creative Alliance at the Patterson in Baltimore, Md., and an artist fellow for the Hamiltonian Gallery in Washington, D.C. Laurie graduated with a master of fine arts (MFA) degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2007 and was awarded a MICA fellowship to the Vermont Studio Center. Prior to receiving her MFA, Laurie earned a BA in critical social thought from Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Mass., and a post baccalaureate degree from the San Francisco Art Institute. Laurie says of her work: “Within my paintings and installations, the structures and systems created are illogical; they are delicate and makeshift in a way that may not endure their own weight, let alone the impending disruptions. Yet, they are made, and to me they reference the sustained need to try, to build, and to create, even in the face of complete futility. They depict the instinctive, sometimes manic, and desperate human act of building, and within them I am thinking about the cyclical rise and fall of civilizations.” To learn more about Magnolia Laurie, please visit her website: www.magnolialaurie.com.	28
