BGSU artist narrows
focus for ‘Small Worlds’ exhibit at TMA
Nov. 18, 2011: Charles Kanwischer is among a small group
of artists chosen for an exhibit of small things. A professor
and associate director in Bowling Green State University’s
School of Art, Kanwischer is one of five contemporary artists in
the Toledo Museum of Art’s “Small Worlds” exhibit,
opening Friday, Nov. 18, in the
Canaday Gallery.
Kanwischer created a dozen graphite pencil drawings of houses
within a half-mile of the museum for the exhibit, which examines
questions of size, scale and proportion.
“I like places and things in the process of changing from one
condition to another – things growing and things coming apart in
a sort of endless cycle. The drawings I’ve recently made
depicting houses in Toledo
arise from the same interest in ebb and flow, transferred to an
urban setting,” Kanwischer said.
Being selected for the exhibit is impressive since the museum
only includes local artists if they are considered of national
significance, said Dr. Katerina Rüedi Ray, director of
the School of Art.
