After a few short years of sculpting, Karkow, also an architect, prefers a blurred boundary between art and craft, and tool and folly. The experimentation in his art embodies this concept. After attempting to make a tool for some process, the resulting artifact is oftentimes art. Exhibition continues through November 4.

Women of the Mexican Revolution, opening reception

Monday, September 27, Isabella Cannon Room, 6 p.m.

Thirty images of the seldom seen but very important role women played in Mexico’s revolution. Soldaderas not only joined the battle on the frontlines, they performed the many thankless tasks that go along with fighting, which allowed the troops to succeed. Their participation had an immense impact on shaping Mexico’s history and society.   Exhibition continues through November 17.

Since the inception of the scientific method, politics and political religion, blind-sighting skepticism and violent desire for the accuracy of a false hypothesis have perverted this elegant system of its effectiveness.  Freeman prefers not to challenge established theory but to search for "truths" by exploring myths, superstitions and expectations of the past to propose where reality may lie – and to also point out and accentuate its occasional absurdity. Exhibition on view in Arts West Gallery August 28 through September 29.
