Main & Second Gallery Theresa Anderson, Isabelle Beaupré, Amber Cobb, Deb Covell, Mel DeWees, Maria Bang Espersen, Matthew Feyld, Sarah Elise Hall, Monique Lacey, Adam McGowan, Jonathan Parker, Michael Francis Ryan, Hae Won Sohn, Graphic Surgery, Dave Swensen, Britt Thomas, Austin Turley, Erin Vincent In the Main and Second Gallery is a group exhibition featuring 18 national and international artists. This exhibition focuses on materiality and reductionism. Artists: Theresa Anderson (b. 1967, St. Paul, MN) lives and works in Denver, CO. Developing interdisciplinary work through performance art, sculpture, drawing and painting she explores concepts dealing with conflict, and/ or, oppositional categories, and recitations on agency and inadequacy. She is alum of artist residencies at Redline Denver, PlatteForum, and Vermont Studio Center where she received fellowship funding for her sculpture. Anderson has received multiple commissions and stipends through organizations such as the Biennial of the Americas, Black Cube Nomadic Museum with the curator Cortney Lane Stell, as well as the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art and the presentation of a master artist demonstration on drawing at the Denver Art Museum. Recent solo and notable exhibitions include everything squiggles at 808 Projects, curated by Mardee Goff, every length of a drawing at Yeah Maybe, Minneapolis curated by Nicole Soukup and some kind of cuddle at Gray Contemporary, Houston, Performativity at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, curated by Michol Hebron and Thief Among Thieves at Museum of Contemporary Art, curated by Adam Lerner and Nora Abrams. Isabelle Beaupré (b. 1978, Montreal, Canada) creates through repetitions of shapes and textures some non- figurative monochrome compositions often delimited by segmentation, fragmentation or stratification. Her work can be perceived as an in-between painting and sculpture. She meticulously uses different materials such as wood, plaster, sand and burlap. Her practice questions the possible infinite number of repeats of these shapes, each replica being necessarily submitted to a certain level of changes. Isabelle Beaupré studied visual and media arts at Université du Québec à Montréal and has been represented by different galleries since where she did numerous solo and group exhibitions. Her art was seen in many major arts events as A rt Souterrain and Nuit Blanche and she was invited to show in many art fairs as Papier and at The Contemporary Art Fair of Page !2 of 51 Saint-Lambert amongst others through Canada. Her works can be found in corporate collections across Canada as Senvest Collection, Padorac as well as in many private collections. Isabelle Beaupré shows for the first time in Houston, Texas; she lives and works in Montreal, Canada. Amber Cobb (b. 1979, St. Louis, MO) works investigates the primal and sensual nature of intimacy and sexuality. Through sculpture, painting, and installation she transforms and reconstructs physical objects and physiological relationships. Notions of abjection and attraction find themselves challenged within the surfaces and forms. Cobb has exhibited both nationally and internationally. This includes xiao shan xiao at the Hunan Province Art Museum in Kaifeng, Millennial Pink at Untitled Miami, and Palettable Relations at Galeria Hilario Galgura in Mexico City, MX and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver and Boulder, CO. Cobb’s mattress works were highlighted in New American Paintings, #114 and in Frieze Magazine's review 'Around Town: Condo in Mexico City' in 2018. Her solo show Solace was reviewed in Sculpture Magazine their May, 2016 issue. Cobb is represented by Gray Contemporary in Houston, TX and by Gildar Gallery in Denver, CO. Deb Covell (b. 1966, Stockton on Tees) lives and works in Teesside and and is represented by Gray Contemporary USA. She received her BA in Fine Art from Liverpool Polytechnic (1989) and her MA in Fine Art from University of East London (2002). Covell is a painter who celebrates the material qualities of paint by rejecting pictorial imagery, and eliminating the traditional canvas support in an attempt to create paintings without restriction.

  • The Interface of Religious and Political Conflict in Egyptian Theatre
    The Interface of Religious and Political Conflict in Egyptian Theatre Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Amany Youssef Seleem, Stage Directing Diploma Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Lesley Ferris, Advisor Nena Couch Beth Kattelman Copyright by Amany Seleem 2013 Abstract Using religion to achieve political power is a thematic subject used by a number of Egyptian playwrights. This dissertation documents and analyzes eleven plays by five prominent Egyptian playwrights: Tawfiq Al-Hakim (1898- 1987), Ali Ahmed Bakathir (1910- 1969), Samir Sarhan (1938- 2006), Mohamed Abul Ela Al-Salamouni (1941- ), and Mohamed Salmawi (1945- ). Through their plays they call attention to the dangers of blind obedience. The primary methodological approach will be a close literary analysis grounded in historical considerations underscored by a chronology of Egyptian leadership. Thus the interface of religious conflict and politics is linked to the four heads of government under which the playwrights wrote their works: the eras of King Farouk I (1920-1965), President Gamal Abdel Nasser (1918-1970), President Anwar Sadat (1918-1981), and President Hosni Mubarak (1928- ). While this study ends with Mubarak’s regime, it briefly considers the way in which such conflict ended in the recent reunion between religion and politics with the election of Mohamed Morsi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, as president following the Egyptian Revolution of 2011. This research also investigates how these scripts were written— particularly in terms of their adaptation from existing canonical work or historical events and the use of metaphor—and how they were staged.
