FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Kansas City, MO—
The Belger Arts Center is pleased to present,
Mystery & Mark,
Opening Friday, March
6, from 6-9 pm at 2100 Walnut, Kansas City, MO.
The exhibition will
remain on view through June 6, 2020
Mystery
& Mark is the
third in a series of exhibitions celebrating Belger Cartage Service, Inc.’s 100th
anniversary and the Belger Arts Center’s 20th anniversary. Each exhibition has focused on a particular
area in the Belger Collection’s history.
These include decorative and fine arts, historical objects, contemporary
craft and even cars.
Mystery & Mark features works from the collection by
Jasper Johns, Creighton Michael, Robert Stackhouse and Terry Winters that spark
imaginings and contemplations of the world and our space within it. Nature,
architecture, memory, biology and the universe are among thematic subjects
relayed through visceral and evocative abstractions rich in color, gesture,
texture and material.
While these
artists have signature styles, they share an affinity of concept and approach
rooted in drawing, mark-making and layering concepts. Mystery & Mark celebrates
the multiplicity of each artist and their creations in context with one another,
and with attention to their diverse manifestations of the mark.
The Belger Arts Center
launched with a William Christenberry exhibition in March of 2000. Since then,
we have shown work by over 500 artists utilizing hundreds of materials and created
in over 50 countries in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
We're saving Antarctica for the next 20 years! And a special thanks to the more
than 100,000 visitors who have graced our facilities. We firmly believe that it
takes interested visitors to activate a gallery.
