WORD DANCE <p>The artists in Word Dance have all developed a distinctly individual language for drawing that invites viewers into their private world. The works-on-paper from JoAnn Gonzalez Hickey’s collection that have been chosen for this exhibition are all concerned with words, letters or a connection with language. There is a rhythm and movement in these works. Permeating these pieces is lightness and energy with the suggestion of dance moves—hence the exhibition title, Word Dance.</p> America/North_Dakota/Center

ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM <p>Soon after World War II, the center of the avant-garde shifted from Europe to the United States when the first American-grown modern art movement-abstract expressionism-was born.</p> <p>This first fully American movement emphasized individual expression and the freedom to experiment with materials and processes. In this presentation of abstract works, you'll see how artists, including Robert Motherwell, Betty Parsons, and Joan Mitchell used loose brushwork and emphasized surface rather than depth on the canvas. A selection of works on paper also comprise this exhibition and show how artists, including Deborah Remington and Lee Krasner, capture the quiet intimacy of direct, informal drawing.</p> America/North_Dakota/Center

Striking patterned and textured works will incorporate text from poems, Gibson’s own voice, and song lyrics such as Stevie Wonder’s “Sir Duke.”</p> America/North_Dakota/Center
