From Erik ReeL : Zero Point.<\/p><\/div>\n

GraySpace<\/a> hosts a pair of interesting new exhibits, both of which open on Friday.<\/p>\n

Erik ReeL : Zero Point<\/a> is the first local solo exhibition in a decade for ReeL, an improvisational non-objective painter. Featuring major new paintings and studies never shown before, GraySpace has coupled ReeL\u2019s solo show with an exhibition curated by Rhonda P. Hill<\/a>, ReeL\u2019s wife, titled Blurred Boundaries: Fashion as an Art<\/a>, which will introduce a group of exciting, young, international fashion designers to Santa Barbara.<\/p>\n

Two talks, one with Erik ReeL on non-objective painting, and a panel featuring Rhonda Hill and Erik ReeL, will be held during the exhibition (dates to be announced).<\/p>\n

From Rhonda P. Hill
Blurred Boundaries: Fashion as an Art.<\/p><\/div>\n

Blurred Boundaries: Fashion as an Art spotlights selected work by fashion designers, Tingyue Jiang<\/a>, Alena Kalana<\/a>, Susan Tancer<\/a> and Hera Zhou<\/a>, who blur the distinction between art and fashion. Hill makes a strong claim for fashion to be considered as a cultural phenomenon that can, in certain forms, be called art\u2014on par with any other visual art. Hill points out that fashion can, in the right hands, consciously work on deeper levels that deal with our consciousness, identity and sense of place within our culture.<\/p>\n
