"Interrupted" Opening Reception September 1, 2016

Ashland University’s Coburn Gallery will be hosting an exhibition entitled Interrupted featuring a selection of works that address the theme of longing and loss within our lives.



The exhibition includes 35 artworks from 26 artists from across the United States: Aileen Bassis, Andrew J Brown, Diana Budde, Molly Jo Burke, Anne Chesnut, Sage Dawson, Adrienne Der Marderosian, Eugene Ellenberg, Roya Farassat, Marcella Hackbardt, Megan Hildebrandt, Chakila L. Hoskins, Honey Lazar, Emily McIIroy, Charles Mintz, Robert Mullenix, Danielle Muzina, Carlos Rene Pacheco, Melissa Redman, Sarah G Sharp, Rachel Suzanne Smith, Sally Schluter Tardella, Kim Rae Taylor, Julie Wills, Lauren Voss and Jim Zimpel.

The Coburn Gallery has the honor of debuting a video installation work by Cleveland artists Honey Lazar and Lauren Voss entitled "The Year My Sisters Died " as part of the Interrupted art exhibition.
“This video is a visual poem about my grief as well as those times when life flattens us.  Seasons changed, trees shed, rested, and predictably bloomed.  Rain and snow fell.  Mourning held a monotonous metronomic rhythm.  Eventually, I accepted that my sisters were gone; that my sorrow would not end, but it was time to get up and leave the room” says Lazar.

The Coburn Gallery will host an opening reception on Thursday September 1 from 4:30pm-6:30pm. The reception is free and open to the public. Exhibition runs through September 25, 2016.
