The Irene Rosenzweig 2011 Biennial Exhibition will be on display from December 2, 2011 to February 4, 2012.

The Rosenzweig juried show has a long history with ASC, and many prize-winning artworks from past exhibitions are now part of The Center’s permanent collection. ASC recently accepted entries from residents of Arkansas and six surrounding states for this year’s show.

This year’s judge is David Bailin. Peter Frank of LA Weekly said this of Bailin: “…Little Rock-based David Bailin continues to combine the expansive, barren space of his native South Dakota with the narrative intrigue particular to the artistic tradition(s) of the American South... The ambiance is dreamlike ...as if Bailin were illustrating modern... parables.”

In judging this exhibition, Bailin seems to have chosen a similar path. He says, “My approach to selection starts with the art I consider the best and then creates a narrative linking them. [It] begins in the neighborhoods and follows the people; imagines how they are connected and defined through their myths and dreams.” For more information on Bailin, visit his website, www.bailinstudio.com.
