Mercurial Imagination, featuring the work of Ryder Jon Piotrs collaborative members Piotr Chizinski (2007 BFA Sculpture), Ryder Richards (2001 BFA Painting), Sue Anne Rische (1994 BFA Jewelry Design & Metalsmithing) and Jonathan Whitfill (2006 MFA Sculpture) is on exhibit now at the Ira M. Taylor Memorial Gallery at Hardin Simmons University until November 13, 2009. The work ranges from altered books and shredded text to gunpowder drawings and cast bomb forms. The work questions social class systems, the intangible form of knowledge, and violence in a modern world.
The gallery will host a closing reception featuring an artist’s talk and question/answer session on November 13, 5:00-6:30 PM.
Ryder Jon Piotrs (RJP) is comprised of artists who have created an alternative method of engagement with the development of a Nomadic Truck Gallery. The gallery is a converted 24′ Ryder truck complete with white sheetrock panels and track lighting. Since it’s debut over 2 years ago the mobile gallery has prompted several group exhibitions for the RJP members. Most recently the group has shown in Dallas, Abilene, and Marfa. They have also hosted a national juried ceramics exhibition in Phoenix, Arizona. For more information please visit the website ::
