VISUAL ARTS + MUSEUMS

d. m. allison presents the exhibition Kelly Moran: Beg Borrow & Steal. Opening reception: 6-8 p.m. Saturday, April 28. Exhibition runs April 28-May 27. ON VIEW THROUGH JULY 7TH.

Kelly Moran's latest offering is a zany mixed bag of happy urban myth and late American culture POP to be sure, but at the same time so well executed that one wants to stop and think it all over. Moran takes advantage of an omnipotent time frame while jumping gender fences, and looking back at "the way we were" just far enough in the past to clue us into the fact that the human chemistry found in her works is universal.

Moran excels at making the complex planning and process oriented work look inspired and of the moment. Her images are gleaned from the internet junk heap, vintage magazines and advertising, while working in woodcuts, lino-cuts, and some parts created with the latest digital technology and archival digital printing. There is plenty of Yin and Yang for everyone in the show.
