The Object of Nostalgia, through February 20 Curated by René Marquez and Lance Winn February 11th, 5-9 pm Closing Reception with a curators' talk at 6:30 pm

The Object of Nostalgia contemplates the nature of "sentimentality" and its conflicted relation to contemporary art. Each artist represented copes with nostalgia and the condition of longing in a unique and personal way,eschewing both the cold, universalist demands of Modernism and the distanced superficiality employed by Postmodern practices in favor of personal investigation, private narratives, and the full breadth of creative tools and language available to the artist. Artists include Marlene Alt, Brian Bishop, Pamela Fraser, Dawn Gavin, Kathy High, Greg Hopkins, Erika Leppmann, Julia Lothrop, Clayton Merrell, Elaine Rutherford, and Raychael Stine.

AT ARTexhibitionLink Gallery UNO opens Amanda Joy Calobrisi's show 'Efflorescene'. The artist is exposing some of her most recent works. 'I compose the shots and pose as the model for my paintings and yet, the people in my finished works are not me. These people are strangers to me, they are emotionally indulgent; they wear their hearts on their sleeves - they are lost in daydreams, playfully biding their time waiting for something to happen. Tied up in the drama of their worlds, they have become so used to performing that they only vaguely acknowledge that they are being watched. They look past us, away or close their eyes in order to avoid eye contact.' Amanda Joy Calobrisi

Duration: Feb. 9 - March 4, 2010 Opening Reception: Friday Feb. 12th, 4.30 - 9.00 pm Gallery hours: Friday and Saturdays, 2 - 6 pm and by appointment Tel.Info: 312 4806869
