MATERIALITY MATTERS
April 9th – May 31st
Opening Reception: April 5th 4pm-7pm
In the exhibition Materiality Matters, Umpqua Valley Arts showcases artists who are exploring the use of diverse, alternative materials, processes and modes of making in their art practice.
Materiality in art refers to the manipulation and alteration of materials to express ideas and concepts that may not be expressed by traditional media. The concept of materiality is unique to each art piece and artist. Through Materiality Matters, UVA explores the unique and diverse ways that artists work to define the materiality of their practice and how materiality conveys ideas and concepts, and inspires dialogue.
Artworks for this exhibition were chosen by a team made up of UVA Staff and professionals working/residing in the Pacific Northwest with varied backgrounds. There was a special interest in receiving works from artists exploring installations, sculptures, time-based, and interactive artwork exploring the exhibition concept.
