"Action Is Eloquence" Exhibition

View of Dawn Gettler's works: "Silence Will Speak for Her," "Sweet Disposition," and "Black Swan."

Dawn Gettler installing (October 2010).

"Action Is Eloquence" is a thematic invitational exhibition about desire, intention, and direction. The title itself derives from a scene in Shakespeare's play "Corialanus" in which the protagonist is coached in public presentation. In essence, this exhibition is about the complex relationship between audience and performer, viewer and viewed. Participants include Bruce Charlesworth, Dawn Gettler, Karla Hackenmiller, and Tom Mueske. The curator is yours truly.
