Show runs through the month of December.

Also known as the hedgeapple, the osage-orange fruit is a bumpy pale green ball with an outer skin made up of a numerous small drupes. Osage was introduced to the southeast via Oklahoma, before the era of readymade fencing, to establish hedgerow borders for cattle fields in the recently clear cut Ohio Valley. Since then, the plant has taken over as dense undergrowth in many forests throughout the region, producing a grapefruit-sized bright green fruit that seeds in the Fall. Contained inside these small pods is a milky latex fluid.

Since graduating from East Jessamine Middle School in the late 90s, Jacob Isenhour and Will Tucker have maintained a conversation about their artistic research. With a common concern for how labor conditions and production time dominate environment and energy relations, these artists look for ideas and potentials that outfall property lines.

OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, December 3, 7-11 pm

Exhibition runs through January 3, gallery hours Saturdays from 12-4, or by appointment

A Whole New World, Third Party Gallery's December exhibition, takes an irreverent look at the symbol of the magic carpet, presenting work that aims to deconstruct its narrative. Seven artists working in a variety of media have been asked to investigate the stigma that the magic carpet carries: Orientalism, exoticism, and the overall phantasmagoria of cultural hubris that the politics and culture of the 21st century have endowed upon it

Prairie

Hetero-Types: Science in Contemporary Art Making.

Opening Reception Saturday Nov. 12th from 7-9pm.

Prairie is pleased to present work by Cincinnati artist Kimberly Burleigh, San Francisco artist Caren Alpert and Arizona artist David Tinapple. Kimberly Burleigh employs a unique blend of methods from both fields of art and science in producing her oil paintings and watercolors. She explores her interest in the behavior of light across the surface of and through liquids by creating computer simulated models of liquid surfaces lit by artificial light sources. She then transfers these "still lives" onto canvas using the traditional methods and tools of oil painting. Her final works are, in one sense, straight recordings of computer generated shapes, and in another, highly stylized abstractions of the real world rendered with limited color palettes which evoke the experiments of mid-20th century color field painters.

Present:
Napoli Senza Titolo: Naples Untitled

A photographic exhibition exploring the relationship between Naples and its public spaces
Naples is a city of extremes. Famous for its beauty and creative spirit, it's also associated with environmental degradation and political corruption. This exhibit presents a look at the Naples of the last forty years, showing the variety of ways in which the city has responded to challenges facing it, and offering a narrative of the city that incorporates the many facets of its character, allowing each viewer to enter the cityscape in their own way. The exhibit explores the ways in which public spaces in Naples continue to be relevant and provide people with a sense of belonging.
The exhibition is called Naples Untitled because Naples is a city in flux, living between its hopes for a better future and fears of further decline.

Opening Thursday Nov. 10 at 5pm.

Hip-hop has become an influential and integral part of the social make up in America. The essential elements include MC'ing, B-boying, DJ-ing, and Graffiti. All of which include the common principals of battle through one up man-ship and the ever-present nature of competition. It seems there's a primal nature in humans, a need for a duel. These underlying fundamentals have made it a lifestyle for the practitioners of those skills. This desire to better one's self through healthy struggles, based on style, technique, and concepts transcending race and class.

These principles are what fuel the focus of this exhibition and are indicative in the artists presented.

Opening Reception Friday Nov. 11th from 5-9pm. Show runs through Dec. 9th

IS THIS THING ON?

IS THIS THING ON? / BYOB
OPENING + BYOB
FRIDAY NOVEMBER 4TH, 7:00-10:00

Exhibition:
November 5, 2011 — April 2012

Curated by Jordan Tate and Aaron Walker, this exhibition presents three distinct subsets of video art practice. Each one addresses specific concerns relative to the history and future of video art ranging from early portapack experiments to more recent explorations of internet culture and sculptural video installations. The first installment, Screen Test (Nov 5), traces the history of performance video, showcasing the changing role of technology and new media trends. The second, Quality Control (Dec 19), looks at process-based works and the role of video art in a broader, new media context. The final phase, New Forms (Feb 11), builds on the previous installations to consider the future of combined media works and challenge popular assumptions of both the form and function of contemporary video art.

BYOB: Bring Your Own Beamer, a party with artists and their projectors. BYOB events are dynamic, collaborative experiences that take place all around the world. This event kicks off the three-phase video-based exhibition Is This Thing On?

University of Cincinnati DAAP Galleries Present: Victory City

We cordially invite you to join us for this unique exhibition featuring the work of Cincinnati native Orville Simpson II self taught planner, architect, designer, and artist. In this exhibition we will present Mr. Simpson’s vision for the development of future urban centers. This Utopian metropolis design has been driven by Simpson’s concern with urban sprawl, pollution and sustainability. Orville’s dream has been an ongoing passion rooted in a notion that first came to him in 1936 at the age of thirteen and has become his life’s work.

For Third Party's second exhibition, we look at the term "dictat," an antiquated word referring to the "technique used to simplify and influence the decision making process by using words and images to tell an audience exactly what actions to take, eliminating any other possible choices." With this in mind, we have commissioned nearly twenty artists to create posters dealing with specific political agendas in order to investigate the practices in branding, spinning, redacting, and various other seemingly intrinsically targeted motives found in strategical information dissemination.

Open gallery hours Sundays from 1-4 PM

This October CS13 will close out our two-and-a-half year run as a multi-disciplinary art space with one last act of social dreaming. This final gallery project is a group exhibition themed around the small river town of Utopia, located 45 miles out of Cincinnati along U.S. Route 52. The town is marked by a green road sign, a convenience store with a single gas pump, a handful of half-mile long streets that run down to the riverbank, and a Ohio Historical Marker that reads:

"Utopia, Ohio was founded in 1844 by followers of French philosopher Charles Fourier. Fourierism, based on utopian socialism and the idea of equal sharing of investments in money and labor, reached peak popularity in the United States about 1824 until 1846. The experimental community of Utopia dissolved in 1846 due to lack of financial success and disenchantment with Fourierism. John O. Wattles, leader of a society of spiritualists, purchased the land and brought his followers to Utopia in 1847. The spiritualists, who sought secluded areas to practice their religion, built a two-story brick house on the shore of the Ohio River. A flash flood on December 13, 1847, killed most of Wattles' people. The majority of the few survivors left the area. Thus, the idea of the perfect society, or utopia, died. Henry Jernegan of Amelia, laid out the present village in 1847."

Nam June Paik, the “Father of Video Art,” was an artist who explored the boundaries between art and emerging technologies. Prior to his death in 2006, Nam June created numerous acclaimed artworks using the tools of video, computers, and televisions, with perhaps his most recognizable being his series of “TV Robots.” Now, these pieces have become case studies for museums in preserving new media work. Paik left no instructions on his vision for the future of these pieces, so now conservationists are left to ask: What would Nam June do?

Present:

TOMMY HARTUNG

In this exhibition, New York based video artist Tommy Hartung’s work will investigate common mythmaking and story telling tropes that often address the relationships between education, history and religion. Hartung creates alternate worlds in his studio made from ordinary objects (water mirrors’, plants, various found objects) altered for the camera, resulting in elaborate stop motion animations using low tech, yet innovative lighting techniques and camera settings. The result is simultaneously visually hypnotic and self-critiquing, probing further into the divide between dogmatic teaching and objective accounts of the past. Hartung explores the use of entertainment and cinematic devices often used to communicate knowledge between generations and the manner this information is transmitted. By exposing the mechanics of the moving image Hartung provides the means to excavate the past, examines how we transcribe the present and invariably casts doubt into the future.

Opening Reception: Friday April 15th , 2011 4-7pm

Exhibition runs: April 4th – 29th, 2011

Hours: Monday-Friday 10am-5pm
