denny Architectural Art & Design

A multi-media installation by Jennilie Brewster of Brooklyn, New York and Daniele Genadry, formerly of Hanover, New Hampshire will be on display in AVA Gallery and Art Centers EN Wennberg Gallery from September 5 through October 4, 2008. A reception, free and open to the public, will take place Friday, September 5, from 5 to 7pm. Brewster and Genadrys multi-media installation explores the perceptual, material, architectural, and metaphorical possibilities of the optical phenomenon Fata Morgana a form of mirage that occurs mostly in polar regions and in high mountain valleys, where images may seem to vibrate, stretch, flip, and multiply, blurring the line between the real and the imagined. Brewster is a large-scale painter who recently worked on site-specific installations that explore issues of land use. She holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York and an MFA from Bard College. Genadrys work finds expression in paintings, wall installations, woodcuts, and multiple-screen prints. The experience of living in multiple places recent years have brought her to Beirut, Como, Hanover, London, and Rome is reflected in her landscapes, which address the temporal and physical shifts of such experiences. After receiving a BA from Dartmouth College in 2002, Genadry worked as an intern at AVA, prior to her move to London, where she recently received an MFA from the Slade School of Art.
