Reception for the artists Claudia DeMonte and Edwin McGowin: Binomial on Thursday, January 23, 7 - 9 pm at the Lowe Museum / UM Campus. This engaging exhibition explores the independent endeavors of these two highly accomplished artists together with the creative symbiosis that has marked their notable careers. With her deep-seated interests in globalism, identity politics, feminism, and social responsibility, Claudia DeMonte mines her autobiography as well as the stories of the countless women she has met in her extensive travels to inform her creative process. Ed McGowin, with whom DeMonte has shared her travels and her life for more than four decades, is equally interested in notions of the self and interpersonal dynamics, including manipulation, corruption, exploitation, and greed.
