Showing at Gallery 122
Hang It Employee Group Show- April 11th- May 9th, 2008
Artist Reception: April 11th, 7-10 PM, FREE and Open to the Public, with Music by Keston & Westdal
The staff at Hang It has more than 50 years of combined experience in the picture framing and art industry. These picture framing-artists work in mediums that range from pen and ink to colored pencils, ceramics to painted miniatures and mixed media to 3-dimensional plexi-glass paintings. Each artist has a very individual mode of expression and source for inspiration but are bounded together through the art of picture framing. Through their individual passion for the arts, the staff at Hang It is able to bridge the gap between the visual arts and the art of picture framing. Join Gallery 122 in this unique experience to see the art that is created behind the scenes by the employees of a local frame shop. 
Jeff Baker & Kari Reardon- May 16th- June 27th, 2008
Artist Reception: May 16th, 7-10 PM, FREE and Open to the Public
Jeff Baker is a photographer from Rochester, MN. Baker captures distinctive images of people, landscapes, and unique objects that he encounters while aimlessly roaming the country both near and far. The treatments for each piece are determined individually and range from stark black and white to vibrant color. Receiving much recognition for his work in the last couple of years, Baker was most recently awarded honorable mention at the Minnesota State Fair in ’07.
Kari Reardon is a sculptor from Minneapolis, MN. Her work is built primarily with scavenged building materials including steel, stone, and concrete. The juxtaposition of hard materials with fluid, organic forms is fundamental to her style. Using clusters and repetition she creates a sense of movement and growth by which her objects acquire personalities and history. Her work has been shown in galleries throughout the US and Europe. She has received numerous awards and grants including a recent fellowship from La Vie Des Formes to create and exhibit work in France.
