MakeWork Artists Showcase during MAINx24 Tuesday, November 22, 2011
It’s that time of year! The leaves are falling, the family is deciding wether to deep-fry, smoke, or bake the turkey. Or will they try the new craze of the infrared oil-less turkey frier!? Amazing, and markedly less dangerous than the deep-fry method popular in past years. We hope.
We’re gearing up for another major Main Street Holiday… MAINx24 on Saturday, December 3rd! We’ll be busy jazzing up our little corner of the world on Main Street creating a public art experience to represent the the five years of CreateHere’s work.
From 2-4pm on the big day of MAINx24 December 3rd, this year’s MakeWork grant recipients will be exhibiting their work in the CreateHere space at 55 East Main Street. Come experience their work through installation, performances, sculpture, and much more at the MakeWork Showcase. These 15 artists and their projects underwent a highly competitive process to be awarded MakeWork grants from a pool of 125 applicants this year. Their work is outstanding, and we are excited to share their talent with you during MAINx24.
The MakeWork grants program is well supported by our community. This showcase is the perfect opportunity to be inspired by the artists that enhance how we experience Chattanooga, from public art to performance art and everywhere in between. Read more about the 2011 grantees and their work at the project page.
At nightfall around 7:00pm, MakeWork grantee Phillip Andrew Lewis will project his 3D light installation across the street on the historic and crumbling Levin Building. The CreateHere Supernova Pavillion will be nestled into the corner of Main Street and Market Street to punctuate the end of CreateHere’s five-year duration, and the impacts and continuation of the work that has started through the project. Keep on the lookout for other bursts of creativity down Main Street from CreateHere and all the Main Street neighborhood.
We’ll see you there!

Photography Lecture & Exhibition at UTC Tuesday, November 08, 2011
UTC will host Martina Shenal in a lecture and exhibition, titled: “Borrowed Views”, the evening of Thursday November 10th.
The photographs in this exhibition are loosely based on the Japanese: shakkei, (borrowed views, borrowed scenery) that refers to a 17th c. garden concept/element. All about foreign views…it has since been co-opted as a framing mechanism for the top gardens in Japan, where a literal (usually a mountain) in the distance is “framed” into a very particular vantage point and the garden is designed around it. Connected to the picturesque style, it has become a conscious manipulation of nature to create foregrounds, middle grounds + backgrounds to highlight a selection of formal elements.
Martina Shenal is an Assistant Professor of Art in the Photography division at The University of Arizona. She earned her MFA from Arizona State University and a BFA from The Ohio State University. Prior to relocating to Tucson, Shenal was an Assistant Professor of Art at the Memphis College of Art from 1998-2004. Since 2005, she has also served as the Assistant Director of the School of Art.
Shenal has received numerous grants and fellowships including two Professional Development Grants from the Arizona Commission on the Arts, a Visual Art Fellowship from the Tennessee Arts Commission, a Western States Art Federation/National Endowment for the Arts Regional Fellowship in New Genres, and a Contemporary Forum Artist’s Materials Grant from the Phoenix Art Museum. Solo and two-person exhibitions of her work have been held at the UC Berkeley Extension Gallery, San Francisco, CA; Phoenix Center for Contemporary Art, Phoenix, AZ; Second Floor Contemporary, Memphis, TN; Arizona State University Art Museum, Matthews Center; Tower Fine Art Gallery SUNY-Brockport, NY; and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. Her work is included in the permanent collections of New Mexico State University Art Museum, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Center for Creative Photography, among others.
