ArtCenter/South Florida presents Potential Amendments, an exhibition that embraces error and highlights structure, form and mark-making. With paintings by Jenny Brillhart and Vincent Hemphill, and sculpture by Moira Holohan, the three local luminaries have built their showcase around process, unplanned errors and reconstruction.  The opening event is free and open to the public, and is generously sponsored by KIND natural whole nut and fruit bars. Potential Amendments will be on view through February 19, 2012. For more information, please call 305.674.8278 or visit the website at www.artcentersf.org.

“Our mission to promote excellence in art and provide an edifying experience through artistic processes is what makes visiting ArtCenter special to the resident artists, exhibiting artists and to the public,” said Kristen Thiele, ACSF Artist Liaison. “Jenny Brillhart will be shown as pushing her work through process to discover new levels of representation. Her search for new modes of delineation is the underlying strength in her concept for Potential Amendments.”

Brillhart creates dialogue between made and found spaces using traditional methods of still life, studio practice, photography and paint as starting points for her works.  By adding and subtracting from these mediums, she balances ideas of beauty, form, representation, structure and narrative.  A native of New Hampshire, Brilhart has exhibited with several noteworthy galleries worldwide, including Kuckei +Kuckei Gallery in Berlin, Roemerapotheke Gallery in Zurich and David Castillo Gallery. She currently works and resides in Miami.  

The contemporary work of Vincent Hemphill creates dialogue by exposing failures in the painting process.  Reworking and correcting layers, he explores the possibilities of transformation and the self-reflexive nature of decision-making and creative methods.  After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design in 1991, Hemphill participated in numerous group exhibitions with established art collectives in South Florida including Art Miami, Dorsch Gallery and Fred Snitzers Gallery.  He will be unveiling a variety of mixed media works on wood panels with Potential Amendments.

Multimedia artist Moira Holohan thrives on the evidence of time and process. Building, altering and layering consecutive digital still prints from original video footage, Holohan draws, paints, scratches or cuts into the prints.  After re-photographing the manipulated images, she composes video animations.  Holohan’s reinforcements offer viewers tactile evidence of her creative process. The artist received her Masters of Fine Arts from Hunter College in New York in 2007 and has since participated in over 20 exhibitions in New York, Miami and Los Angeles.
