SUMMARY:Meditations of Life and Death: Kimberly Riner
DESCRIPTION:Kimberly Riner\, detail of Allegory of a Still Life (2018)\, ceramic\, video. \n\n\n\n\n\nReception and Gallery Talk on January 26\, 6-8pm  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nStatesboro\, GA\, based artist\,  Kimberly Riner\, creates mixed media ceramic installations exploring death and mortality.  Reinterpreting the vanitas genre – a genre that flourished in the Netherlands in the late 16th\, early 17th\, century as a metaphor for the meaninglessness of earthly life and transient nature of earthly goods and pursuits.  Translated from the Latin word meaning vanity\, hallmarks of this artistic genre include depicting symbols associated with death and the futility of earthly pleasures. Employing classical iconography\, such as skulls\, timepieces\, fruit\, and flowers in contemporary fashion\, Riner comments on 21st century vanitas to allude to the transient and cyclical nature of life\, death\, and rebirth. Riner’s current body of work serves as a commentary on the self-admiration running rampant in our society.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture and the National Endowment for the Arts.

At Arts Warehouse she is lead curator organizing contemporary art exhibitions with a variety of themes and mediums\, showcasing artists diverse in their backgrounds and their work. The position also supports the resident studio artists during their residency at Arts Warehouse. Grace has been invited to jury several shows including most recently the 37th Annual All Florida Exhibition in 2023 hosted by Alliance for the Arts in Fort Myers\, FL. Before joining the team at Arts Warehouse\, Grace was the Director of Programming of Bailey Contemporary Arts in Pompano Beach\, FL. Grace holds a BA in Studio Art with a minor in Art History from Stetson University in Deland\, FL. \n\n\n\n“It is an honor to be reviewing work by Stetson University students for the 34th Annual Juried Exhibition\, with a particular excitement due to it being my alma mater. When selecting art for group exhibitions\, I look towards diversity in mediums and themes. A piece of art stands out to me if it has impactful visual presence\, a sense of intention\, and the evident skills and technique. I will be looking for work that utilizes materials in new or unique ways and that encourage the viewer to take a closer or longer look. I hope that the piece may teach me something about a person – their history\, culture\, thought process. With that said\, classic motifs such as still life or landscapes\, perhaps with a twist\, draw me in easily.I look forward to viewing the submissions and seeing what the new generation of artists is creating at a time when developing their artistic style and practice is encouraged.”
