of View, artists curate artists exhibitions series,
which empowers area artist to act as curators. Skinner’s Impromptu invites
the viewer to pause and capture the poetic structure of time and place.
Skinner explains her curatorial process of Impromptu, how a second can
change the outcome:
“I captured a body of works from local
artists that also paused and captured as we all do in some way or
another, the complexities of the lives we live which transform before our
eyes, repeat and cycle yet are never ever the same twice. Unique
moments are presented and the work ranges from abstract
explorations, to spiritual narratives, to political statements in an
array of materials that surprise and rethink the way we represent our
ever changing realities as we try to make sense of our world.”
Visual, sound, interactive, and
installation works will make up the exhibition, including Lorraine
Walsh’s "Voice Me" a sound visualization from a collection of
skateparks across the United States, "Sound Painting" by Kima
