In celebration of Martha Keller's long and distinguished career, the Ann Arbor Art Center presents, "Martha Rock Keller: Remembering the Days."  The exhibition will include nearly 60 works from various periods in the artist's life, and highlight her strength of vision as an artist, teacher, and writer. 

Born in 1926, Martha Keller's evolution as an artist continues to this day.   Her artistic practice is grounded in the concept of "art as experience," and is inspired by nature, the body, and the movements of yoga and tai chi.  An insatiable appetite for new information and inspiration, as well as a certain open-ness to experience ensures that she never stops growing and innovating.  The Art Center has been fortunate enough to play a role in Martha's journey for many years, and is now honored to present this exploration of her 50-year-long career to the public. 

OPENING RECEPTION:  Friday June 18, 2010, 6 - 8 pm

ARTIST TALK: Sunday June 20, 2010, 3 - 4 pm

Since it's inception in 1922, this juried exhibition has provided many opportunities for both established and emerging artists throughout the state of Michigan.  Our prospectus is sent to approximately 4,000 artists statewide and is open to works in all media. 

This year's juror is Mark Nielsen, Director of the Slusser Galleries & the Intersections Program at the University of Michigan.  An award-winning designer, Nielsen got his start as a production designer for stage shows for the Rolling Stones, and others, and then honed his skills at the U of M Museum of Art.  He has also served as a consultant for a number of campus galleries, and shows his own work under the pseudonym "Uncle Art."
