Ellen Harvey , who created the wonderful New York Beautification Project, a series of 40 illegal oil paintings in public spaces, will talk about her work. Harvey, who is British-born, living in Brooklyn and with a jurisdoctorate from Yale , has gained renown in the art world. Her work includes fascinating videos, installations and paintings that examine the status of painting within society through a tantalizing tease of perceptions. Recent solo exhibitions include "New is Old" for the Center for Contemporary Art in Warsaw, Poland , "Context is Everything" at Mullerdechiara Gallery in Berlin, Germany (which represents her) and "A Whitney for the Whitney at Philip Morris" for the Whitney Museum at Philip Morris, New York . She received the New York Foundation for the Arts Lily Auchincloss Painting Fellowship in 2001.
EXHIBITION OPENING:
7:00 p.m. - Dorothy Uber Bryan Gallery
INterVENTIONS:
Ken Aptekar ,ChanSchatz ,Mark Dion and Ellen Harvey
On display through November 21. Each of the remarkable artists in this exhibition uses aesthetic analysis or intervention to address an established system of representation. Each asks us to re-view a traditional hierarchy and use its own conventions to invent a new way of perceiving it. BGSU Galleries and the Digital Arts division in August invited the artist team ChanSchatz (Eric Chan and Heather Schatz ) to create a site-specific work with BGSU students that will be featured in the exhibition.

This BGSU assistant professor and area head of painting has studied in Croatia and Denmark , and received her MFA from the University of Iowa in 1995. She has been awarded grants from the Iowa and Ohio Arts Councils and a residency at Ragdale Artist Colony .
