Rutledge Gallery
Between the Springmaid
Sheets examines gender and social standards through the visual culture of
the 1940s and 1950s.
Colonel Elliott White
Springs,
owner of the South Carolina Springs Mills textile company, masterminded innovative
and provocative ad campaigns combining suggestive imagery with clever texts
and double
entendre to establish the successful brand -
“Springmaid” solidifying his legacy in
advertising history. The original advertising
maquettes from well known illustrators such as Russell Patterson, E. Simms Campbell,
Fritz
Willis, and James Montgomery Flagg are on view
along with the advertisements as seen in Esquire, Colliers and Look magazines.
September 10 – October

Remnants: A Collection of
Rock Hill’s Visual
Alterations
Photographs by Mara Kurtz
Elizabeth Dunlap Patrick Gallery
Rutledge Building
Remnants:
is an exhibition of photographs
by
New York designer and photographer, Mara Kurtz,
which captures a
visual language of Rock Hill during
the early 1970’s prior to its
participation in a federally funded
“beautification program.”
The photographs demonstrate the
evolving
industrial impact on the
community’s urban
landscape
underscoring the ability buildings,
signage and structures have to give
meaning to
space and establish its
identity. As change
occurs,
part of a
former existence remains; leaving
behind remnants of these alterations.
Kurtz’s
photographs capture the
remnants and impact on
Rock Hill’s
urban landscape.

"SelvEDGE”
Nava Lubelski
Rutledge Gallery
Lubelski embroiders on used fabric over stains
and rips, contrasting the accidental with the
meticulous, constructing narrative from
randomness and mistake. Her hand-stitched
designs combine traditional sewing techniques
and abstract painting which remove the object
from functional purpose and elevate to art.
November 12 -
January 18, 2013
Factory Floor
Libby O’Bryan
Elizabeth Dunlap Patrick Gallery
O’Bryan’s artwork is informed by her previous
career in apparel production and current work as
an “industrial seamstress.”
She
explores the relationship between maker, machine
and consumer. The environments she creates act
outside the commodity driven marketplace as a
means for contemplation about everyday decisions
and cultural norms.

Art Education Student – Sarah Walker
School - Sullivan Middle School, Rock Hill,
SC
Mentor Teacher - Ms. Susan Barnette
The goal of the project above was to focus
on the
process
of drawing and collage
creating works of
art
that
are finished yet unfinished with
the ability
to grow.
The students watched a video of the
artistic process
of illustrator Eric Carle
(The
Very Hungry Caterpillar)
a
nd then
made collages based on his
process.
The students painted paper, chose sill-lifes,
and collaged the paper choosing areas
of their
pieces to emphasize.
This project was also influenced by the
work
of
Jean Auguste Dominque Ingres whose
drawings
looked unfinished, but he chose
certain
areas of
his pieces to emphasize.
