Fort Collins Museum of Art will host three new exhibitions through March 15. The museum will feature Installation Nation in the main gallery and Lynnette Jung-Springberg Gallery. Installation Nation features the work of five regional artists: Nicole Banowetz (Denver), Ashley Hope Carlisle (Laramie, WY), Chelsea Gilmore (Fort Collins), Katelynn Mai-Fusco (Greeley), & Abbie Powers (Loveland). Installation Nation explores the intersection of installation art, nature, and our environment.
The second exhibition will showcase Gretchen Marie Schaefer and Derrick Velasquez with A Pendulum Oscillates About Its Lowest Point, curated by Ilan Gutin and Jenny Nagashima; hosted by Dinghy Rig. Having worked as studio mates for many years, Gretchen Marie Schaefer and Derrick Velasquez share a sustained exchange that has shaped both practices through proximity, generosity, and ongoing critique. Dinghy Rig is a collaborative artist-run art production and exhibition program launched by artists and Colorado State University Art Professors, Aitor Lajarin-Encina and Marius Lehene.
The third exhibition in our lobby gallery, In My Eye, will highlight the detailed, energetic, and colorful landscapes of Gina Blickenstaff (Fort Collins, CO). The striking and unique landscape paintings of Fort Collins-based artist Gina Blickenstaff show nature in all of its glorious moods and textures. From close up views of grasses and leaves to far away vistas and changing light, Blickenstaff’s landscapes hone in on the elegant details and design of nature.
