Dystopia, the antithesis of Utopia, deals with my views on the current social turmoil of our country. Although we live in a land of freedom and opportunity, at times it seems somewhat constrained and isolating. Utopia can exist only in the mind. Once one(s) try to express this ideal in the physical world does the processes become disruptive and culminate in a sort of fracture of the established goal.

Friday October 8 will be the opening night of the second exhibition in the UrbanArt exhibition series, Work in Progress, highlighting innovative urban design in the public realm. The second exhibition in the series, 40 Bike Rack Maquettes, is recent work by native Memphian, Gadsby Creson. This series of maquettes explores the opportunity to create functional and innovative designs for bike racks. The artist's hope is that the maquettes will eventually be used as blueprints for bike racks around the City of Memphis. Creson earned her Bachelors of Fine Arts degree from Tufts University/School of the Museum of Fine Arts and is currently a candidate for a Masters of Fine Arts degree at Memphis College of Art.

The opening for 40 Bike Rack Maquettes will be held on Friday October 8 from 6 - 8 PM at the UrbanArt office on Broad Avenue. The exhibition will last from October 8, 2010 through January 28, 2011. Viewings of the exhibition after opening night will be by appointment only. To schedule an appointment to view the exhibition after the opening, please contact info@urbanartcommission.org
