Echo Chamber: M. Jordan Tierney and Geoff Grace
School 33 Art Center
Friday, January 14 – Saturday, February 26, 2011.
Echo Chamber highlights the work of two truly engaged and thoughtful local artists. Both artists bring a real sense of history into their work and create objects that feel older than they actually are—work that echoes past lives.
M. Jordan Tierney and Geoff Grace see what most might not—they collect and then create. Very often the found objects or images dictate the process, but the end result is specifically theirs… a tangible, yet ephemeral point of view that seeks out beauty in desolation and creates poetry from that which is cast aside or forgotten.
School 33 Art Center, a facility of the Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts, is located at 1427 Light Street. The gallery is open Wednesdays through Saturdays from 12-6pm.
