Please join Victoria H. Myhren Gallery and the School of Art and Art History at the University of Denver on April 11, 2013 for the opening reception of Sandy Skoglund: Book Marks. The opening reception will take place from 5-7pm and refreshments will be provided. The reception will begin with a performance piece taking place inside the installation followed by a brief talk by the artist.
Installation artist Sandy Skoglund turns the familiar into something strange and unknown through object placement, repetition and coloration. Her installation focuses on the reuse and reinvention of books that have been discarded. No longer do books sit idly on the shelves; they take on a life of their own. While imbued with playfulness and energy, Skoglund’s narratives convey a sense of uneasiness. The chaos of the scene opposes the Dewey Decimal structure and quiet atmosphere we expect from our books and libraries. She provokes the sensation one might feel upon entering a disrupted library.
