CYNTHIA GREIG: San Souci
Paul Kotula Projects is pleased to present Sans Souci, an exhibition of photography, video, and sculpture by Detroit artist Cynthia Greig. In this, the artist's first exhibition at the gallery, Greig muses the French phrase that translates 'without worry, free of care". Culled from several series of recent work, all of which explore highly aestheticized and idealized exhibition spaces, Greig establishes a "forensic eye to the peripheral details usually hidden from view." Absent from her images is artwork itself. Through June 2.
Opening Reception, Saturday, April 14th, 5-8pm

Town & Country
Bahamas Biennale is excited to announce Town & Country a two-person exhibition featuring works by Michael St. John and Peter Sutherland. Michael St. John's work conveys a sustained commitment to observing and re-presenting experiences of the everyday. Peter Sutherland uses a variety of landscape imagery, from mountain ranges to deciduous forests, to evoke incongruous sensations of awe, danger, and the sublime. Incorporating techniques and materials intrinsic to both photography and painting, his work expands the potential of both media.

Inner Fragments: Exhibition of Iranian Women Art
"Inner Fragments" is an exhibition of eighteen Iranian female artists most of whom live and work inside Iran, and represent a new wave in Iranian contemporary art. For these emerging artists, Iran's political and social turbulence has not been an obstacle in the development of their artistic voice, in fact it has helped fuel and shape it.
