January 23 – February 16, 2012

Joan Tanner’s Scoundrel and Slapface, 2010 featured in Atkinson Gallery’s current exhibition, Persistence, curated by Dane Goodman.

” The artists in this exhibition are a mix of native Californians and transplants from across the US, England, and the Isle of Man. Each has spent considerable time in their practice, some for severaldecades, often in the face of less than desirable public support. The ongoing development and refinement in their work reflects a depth of remarkable passion and commitment.”

Fig Garden Village and Duncan Galleries

Radically modifying ordinary objects and building materials into exaggerated, arcane sculptural elements, Joan Tanner has created a site-specific installation composed of individually formatted works constructed from randomly acquired fugitive materials. The environmental aspects of two galleries have been synthesized with the artist’s placement of disparate elements and objects of various organic and inorganic materials. The artist has created a tangible architectonic tension designed to exploit the spatial configurations of sculptural form in relationship to the viewer as they enter an environment of transformed fabrication.
