Gamut Gallery Press Release.

June 20, 2012

1006 Marquette Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55402

MINNEAPOLIS–Gamut Gallery will show new works by printmaker Ash Marlene Hane, July 14 through August 12, 2012.  In this show: Conditions, Hane begins with six original works and produces “iterations,” expanding each series with varying numbers of unique pieces.  Hane’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally; this will be her first solo exhibit.

Conditions explores ideas of vulnerability and control, expressed through portraits of the female body. Hane identifies her work as part of a new era of feminism that does not pit itself against masculinity, but rather openly explores a feminine perspective. In this exhibit, Hane confronts expected molds or versions of self, reinforcing concept with technique.  She prepares her lithographs, screenprints and intaglios by beginning with a digital template, which she alters through hand-drawn elements and manual deletion of information. She then uses these matrices to print multiple-layer compositions.

“The result is a series of iterations, similar to the way a thought or conversation plays in my mind over and over again; slightly different, yet slightly the same”.

Ash Marlene Hane was born in Northern Minnesota.  In 2008 she earned a double BA in Art History and Studio Art, with a focus in printmaking.  Her time at the University of Minnesota was spent under the mentorship of Printmaking Professor and Fulbright Scholar, Jenny Schmid. Hane was a founding member of the U of M’s printmaking collective, Bohemian Press, and continues to be an active member of the local printmaking community.

 

Two associated events will be held at Gamut Gallery during this exhibit: 

Reception for the opening of Conditions, Saturday, July 14, 7:00-10:00 p.m.

In response to the exhibit, award-winning choreographer Judith Howard will collaborate with Hane and notable dancers Krista Langberg and Kristin Van Loon, performing Saturday, August 11 and Sunday, August 12 at 8:00 p.m.
