Unfettered Spirit: Contemporary
Art from the Montana Plains is an exhibition of artwork that
examines how daily life on the vast plains of Eastern Montana
results in a unique consciousness of place. Photographs,
paintings, sculptures and mixed media installations explore the
ways in which rancher artists observe and define the boundless
space around them, accept a responsibility to create areas of
intimate space and relate to personal histories inextricably
linked to agrarian life. The exhibition includes work by Jerry
Iverson, Isabel Johnson, Tracy Linder, Taylor Mott, Bill Stockton,
Theodore Waddell and Patrick Zentz. The
exhibition was organized by Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art,
Great Falls, Montana and the tour is sponsored in part by the
Montana Art Gallery Directors
Association. Showing at
the Art Museum of Missoula
April 29 through June 24, 2000
A public reception is scheduled for Friday, May 5, 5-8 pm.
