Exhibit Schedule

Jay Rummell:  A Montana Original
September 9 - November 4, 2000
Jay Rummell was a legendary painter and printmaker who lived in Missoula almost all of his life.  Born near Helena in 1939, Jay was influenced by most of the movements that have touched artists in Montana,  including depression-era prints, Native American storytelling, pioneer storytelling, the paintings of CM Russell, the psychedelic poster art of the 1960's, and to a lesser degree, modern movements such as abstract expressionism.
 
There are elements of nostalgia, folk art, and psychedelia in almost all of Jay's work.  Organized by the Art Museum of Missoula; co-sponsored by MAGDA.
 
Ralph Weigmann: Echoes
September 9 - November 4, 2000
Ralph Weigmann's work represents a visual and symbolic exploration of a specific landscape element. Trees have echoed beauty, strength, longevity, will, the forbidden, the loss of innocence, and joy.  Tree images have  been  used to represent the whole spectrum of human experience.  The aim of  these  paintings is to convey human and personal conditions of the body, mind,  soul, and spirit in the images of trees. The works echo a spectrum of life experience determined by and related to the conditions of his life.
Curated  by Hockaday Staff.

Working Hives
Missoula artist Pat Kikut
December 7, '01 - February 23, '02
This flexible exhibition travels and is stored in three actual bee boxes.  The artist has composed panels, which slide in and out of the bee boxes and are reflective of the artist's examination of anthropological phenomena.
 The artist has been a practicing beekeeper and studied bee behavior. Just like the bees that normally inhabit hives, humans also group themselves together.
 The panels depict members of three groups: American Auto Association, Continental Frequent Flyer, and Costco. The artist is also a member of  these three groups.
 
Small Tales from the Big Sky
Missoula artist Edgar Smith
December 7, '01 - February 23, '02
 
This intimate exhibition of small-scale images highlights an affinity for traditional painting techniques, as well as its thread to storytelling.
Many of the works have an autobiographical connection to childhood stories and surrealist ambiance, but emulate the northern European painters of the 15th century.
 
Flathead Valley Featured Artist - Jennifer Li
December 7, 2001 - February 23, 2002
 
Naming the Place, Placing the Name
Jennifer Reifsneider.
March 1 - May 25, 2002
This exhibit addresses issues of communication, understanding and effort.
In all of the works, the artist uses repetitive gestures to create simple forms with subtle colors. Earlier works are concerned primarily with the efficacy of labels and systems that translate the world into comprehensible
terms.
Recent works employ destructive and reconstructive actions to accept or negate a concept, the use of an object, or the aim of the activity. The cyclical nature of the processes embraces the absurd structure of
nature-order and chaos-to create objects of sublime beauty.
