FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sept. 21, 2001 CONTACT Cira Pascual Marquina, (515) 271-1994 Lisa Lacher, (515) 271-3119 ANDERSON GALLERY TO FEATURE 'BIO-LOGIC II: KATHLEEN KING'S MIXED-MEDIA WORK' The Anderson Gallery presents "Bio-Logic II: Kathleen King's Mixed-Media Work," a one-person show by Chicago-based artist Kathleen King. In her work, King examines the complexity of organic structures and explores her fantasies about the natural world. On view Saturday, Oct. 6, through Nov. 2, at Drake University's Anderson Gallery, "Bio-Logic II" features King's recent mixed-media tableaux. Her work combines photo-based materials and textile fragments, with more traditional media such as oil and acrylic. The incorporation of geometric coils and cellular designs reflect King's belief that organic structures "are dynamic forms that reveal endless variety in nature." In describing her work, King says, "I am interested in exploring the life of the mind, the poetic, musical and picturesque as opposed to just the sociopolitical." She adds that "Infusing images of dreams and fantasy with a feeling of tangibility has always been an objective of mine." King's work has been exhibited in France, Greece, Korea, Russia, Brazil and the United States. Her work was included in the 2000 Evanston Biennial and featured in Ivy Sundell's "Chicago Art Scene 2000." She teaches at Loyola University and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. King will discuss the production of her complex images and their inspiration before the opening reception, which runs from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5. The Gallery Talk will start at 4 p.m. in the Anderson Gallery. Both the talk and reception are free and open to the public. The Anderson Gallery is located in the Harmon Fine Arts Center, 25th St. and Carpenter Avenue. Gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
