Calendar of Events

Red Line Gallery will be hosting a group invitational (curated by Lara Dann) exploring the mysterious art of dream interpretation entitled "Small Hidden Doors" featuring works by Charles Keiger, Elizabeth Foster, Sarah Kaufman, Lara Dann & Fang Ling Lee.

In this show a group of artists describes their dreams in word and in images. The dual representation is designed to provide both the contrast and connection of the written description and the visual representation of a dream vision to offer the viewer a twofold experience into what Jung called "the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul."

The Artist Reception will be on Saturday, November 5th from 7-9pm & the show will hang through the end of November. Red Line Gallery is located at 11519 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN 37934 (Campbell Station & Kingston Pike). Phone: 865.288.0277 Website: www.redlinegallery.net The event is free. Wine will be served with Hors D’oeuvres provided by Season’s Cafe.

Holly Zausner’s work is about transformation through mediums both literal and metaphorical. For this body of work, she has transformed Unseen, a super 16 mm film made in 2007, which was shown at the Bode Museum , into a series of black, white, and colored collages.

In the film Unseen, the artist searches through key locations and museums in the city of Berlin attempting to find metaphorical space and literal rest for two rubber sculptures, one female and one male. As Zausner and her two rubbery protagonists move through the city, a non-linear narrative unfolds.
