Halsey to debut new facility with collage and assemblage show, published 10/11/09
The Hilton Head artist Aldwyth (she uses only her surname) has been spending hours at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art helping to arrange the displays of her epic collages and intricate assemblages.
She is the featured artist whose show will inaugurate the new galleries on the ground floor of the The Marion and Wayland H. Cato Jr. Center for the Arts at Calhoun and St. Philip streets.
The Halsey opens to the public Friday with a 6 p.m. reception and 7 p.m. gallery walk-through.
Aldwyth's work, self-referential and complex, often is about the artists she admires and the art industry she regularly scrutinizes. She is an outsider looking in at a world that, reordered and represented by her, looks right back out at the viewer.
Halsey Institute director and chief curator Mark Sloan, who is always searching for art along the margins of culture, long has championed Aldwyth.
This exhibit, which appeared first in North Carolina before relocating to Charleston, is the 73-year-old artist's first solo show. Aldwyth and Sloan sat down for a conversation about her work.
