tune in to nashville’s burgeoning visual art scene

Gallery Guide 2O13This year promises to be an exciting year for Nashville’s creative community. We have more art in public spaces, more galleries showing world-class art, and more artists working and selling their art in our wonderful city.

The second edition of the Nashville Arts Magazine Gallery Guide brings you the latest gallery listings, and we hope it will encourage you to explore our thriving art market. Along with the hottest art spots and art crawls in and around Nashville, we’ve included a handy list of art terms to help you sound smart and look sharp as you move through the galleries.

The renovation of downtown Nashville’s 5th Avenue of the Arts, the opening of the Music City Center, and numerous public art installations are all clear indicators that our city loves and supports the arts.

Our neighborhoods are fertile grounds for artistic expression and foster discussion and growth for artists, galleries, and our community in general. From traditional to contemporary, from experimental to classical, Nashville has it all, and it is ripe for the picking. Please, get out there and take home a fabulous piece of art. You’ll be glad you did.

“The painted expression of the artist’s vision is incredibly intimate. Viewing a work of art is the most direct way to experience the internal landscape of another human

being. Art is a visceral sharing experience. The artist becomes both performer and performance, and the receptive viewer shares the moment’s vision with the artist. This shared vision is a complete experience of human connectedness.”

Art Terms

ASSEmBLAgE

A work of art that is made of a combination of three-dimensional objects brought together for aesthetic and conceptual reasons. Artists often use “found” objects from junkyards, memorabilia, and personal items in their compositions. While each object may be carefully chosen, the significance lies in what the artist presents through juxtapositions.

InSTALLATIon

An installation is a type of art that is composed of multiple items within a physical

space. Artists who make installations often incorporate images, three-dimensional objects, video, and/or sound to create a space for the viewers to experience their art.

EncAuSTIc

A medium made by dissolving colored pigment into hot wax. The thick liquid is then applied with metal tools or special brushes onto any surface the artist chooses. Encaustic paint has been used on wood for centuries, including in Egyptian mummy portraits from 100 AD. Contemporary artists have explored the medium on paper, in collage, with photography, and on pottery. This technique creates a translucent and brilliant effect.

ForEShorTEnIng

A technique used in painting and sculpture to suggest that figures, parts of the body, or other forms are shown receding from the viewer. This method requires the artist to distort the subject being represented, but this manipulation makes it appear more realistic.

Bruce munro

Jeff Danley

David Douglas

Thornton Dial

gIcLéE (zhEE-kLAy)

Giclée prints are made with high-resolution images and archival-quality inks which are

printed onto photo paper or canvas. The giclée printing process provides accurate color and highly detailed images. Artists often reproduce their works this way because it yields high-quality images that can be printed in any size and in many formats.

mIxED mEDIA

Any work of art that combines more than one medium is called “mixed media.” Collage is a type of mixed-media work that includes various materials such as paint, ink, and three-dimensional objects on a single panel. Mixed media can be used to describe sculpture, too; for example, a work made of bronze and marble or cardboard and fiber. Note: Multi-media is a much broader term that describes a work that blends visual and non-visual elements.

Wayne Brezinka

TrompE L’oEIL (TrompLoy)

This term is French for “fool the eye” and refers to a photo realistic style of painting. Trompe l’oeil paintings are intended to deceive the viewer into believing that they are viewing a real three-dimensional object—not a representation of an object.

michael Theise


by Jen cole, Executive Director at metro nashville Art commission

This has been an exciting year for public art in Nashville. It brought the addition of many important new works of art. In particular, Reflection by Lawrence Argent in Shelby Park is a playful yet sophisticated addition to the public art collection. Referencing the former amusement park and the expansive wildlife, Reflection explores Shelby Park’s past, present, and future. The mirrored quality of the mockingbird parallels its natural “mimicking” qualities while reflecting a new vista within the park. The bird, perched trophy-like on a piece of carved granite, reflects the negative of the opposing wall, which is carved with a swirling motion that terminates in a hole, suggesting curiosity and passage.

On the opposite side of town, the new 28th/31st Avenue Bridge connects Charlotte Avenue to Centennial Park and West End commercial and residential districts. On the bridge, artist David

Dahlquist’s Thread is made up of more than 150 steel panels symbolizing quilt squares, patterns, threads, and knots. The artwork was inspired by quilt squares created during community workshops at Hadley Park Community Center in 2011. A stainless steel ‘thread’ weaves through the artwork and across the bridge, symbolically connecting two formerly separated neighborhoods and cultural areas. In addition, Dahlquist designed two transit shelters on the Park Plaza side of the bridge, which complement the bridge artwork by incorporating knot and thread symbols as well as a large sewing needle.

Kevin Berry’s Magnolia Shelters strengthen the bridge’s overall theme of connectivity. The artwork is directly inspired by iconic elements found in both Centennial and Hadley Park. The transit shelter design is meant to reflect a sense of place and is intended to be integrated into the surrounding environment.

Music City CenterThis year marks the opening of Nashville’s new state-of-the-art convention center, the Music City Center. In addition to dramatic architecture, environmentally sustainable features, and an abundance of natural light, the center is home to a carefully curated, magnificent art collection.

A committee of Nashville artists and professionals worked in conjunction with Music City Center operations staff and art consultants to achieve the right balance of works. The collection includes eight monumental commissioned pieces and more than 80 acquired works from 48 artists. Of those, 44 are from Tennessee and 31 from Davidson County. Not only does the collection showcase a broad spectrum of artistic media, it reflects the city’s diverse heritage while highlighting Nashville’s progressive and entrepreneurial spirit.

Located in the heart of downtown Nashville, the new facility is a short walk to the Ryman Auditorium and the Broadway honky-tonks, venues that have launched thousands of careers and helped generate the city’s nickname, Music City USA. The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame will be housed in the 6th Avenue lobby.

The music city center is located at 201 5th Avenue, South, 615-401-1400. www.nashvillemusiccitycenter.com
