"No Going Back" by Barbara Yontz and "Aesthetic Predicament" by Quintin Owens will open Friday, May 18, and continue through Friday, June 29, 2012. An opening reception will be held Friday, May 18, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. New York and Nashville-based artist Barbara Yontz fascinates us with her use of sound, video and natural materials such as wool and hair. The centerpiece of this new sculptural exhibit is her 2009 work, The Star Womb Project: Monad to Nomad, an 8 foot dome-shaped structure made of wool, silk and hog gut representing not only a womb or cave but creating a nurturing listening space. It was inspired by research on the first star by astrophysicist Daniel Wolf Savin. Currently an associate professor of art at St. Thomas Aquinas College in New York, Yontz has exhibited her work extensively, including the Phoenix Gallery, Chelsea, NY; The Frist Center for Visual Arts, Nashville, TN.; the Jose Marti National Library, Havana, Cuba; The Boston Museum School in Boston, MA; and the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences, NJ. Quintin Owens' installation work is a gathering of past memories and experiences in which he utilizes a wide range of materials - from taxidermy and clay to balloons and construction materials - working to recall a sense of moment that can never be relived. Describing himself as "a mid-western kid, who after shoveling manure, stocking shelves, bailing straw, washing dishes, weeding mint and beans, feeding the hungry, and serving the drunk, decided that art making was the glue that stuck everything together." Currently studio assistant in the Department of Art. Owens has shown his work at Nexus 2012, University of Tennesseeís Downtown Gallery, Knoxville, TN; Marsh Gallery, Indianapolis, IN; the Zoller Gallery, University Park, PA; and the Coleman Burke Gallery New York, NY. He received his MFA from The Pennsylvania State University and BFA from the Herron School of Art and Design. Space 204 is located at 25th Avenue South and Garland in the E. Bronson Ingram Studio Art Center on the Vanderbilt campus. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 pm. All exhibits are free and open to the public.

It utilizes slow, gentle movements along with deep breathing and relaxation to build strength and flexibility. The theory of Tai Chi is deeply rooted in the principles of Yin and Yang, a philosophy of complementary and interdependent opposites. The practice of Tai Chi emphasizes balance between movement and tranquility; between breath and relaxation. These classes are a moving meditation and a powerful key to relaxation, reducing stress, increasing strength and concentration. The form of Tai Chi taught is from the Yang style. It is appropriate for those experiencing chronic pain or illness or anyone looking for a relaxing form of movement.

"No Going Back" by Barbara Yontz and "Aesthetic Predicament" by Quintin Owens will open Friday, May 18, and continue through Friday, June 29, 2012. An opening reception will be held Friday, May 18, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. New York and Nashville-based artist Barbara Yontz fascinates us with her use of sound, video and natural materials such as wool and hair. The centerpiece of this new sculptural exhibit is her 2009 work, The Star Womb Project: Monad to Nomad, an 8 foot dome-shaped structure made of wool, silk and hog gut representing not only a womb or cave but creating a nurturing listening space. It was inspired by research on the first star by astrophysicist Daniel Wolf Savin. Currently an associate professor of art at St. Thomas Aquinas College in New York, Yontz has exhibited her work extensively, including the Phoenix Gallery, Chelsea, NY; The Frist Center for Visual Arts, Nashville, TN.; the Jose Marti National Library, Havana, Cuba; The Boston Museum School in Boston, MA; and the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences, NJ. Quintin Owens' installation work is a gathering of past memories and experiences in which he utilizes a wide range of materials - from taxidermy and clay to balloons and construction materials - working to recall a sense of moment that can never be relived. Describing himself as "a mid-western kid, who after shoveling manure, stocking shelves, bailing straw, washing dishes, weeding mint and beans, feeding the hungry, and serving the drunk, decided that art making was the glue that stuck everything together." Currently studio assistant in the Department of Art. Owens has shown his work at Nexus 2012, University of Tennesseeís Downtown Gallery, Knoxville, TN; Marsh Gallery, Indianapolis, IN; the Zoller Gallery, University Park, PA; and the Coleman Burke Gallery New York, NY. He received his MFA from The Pennsylvania State University and BFA from the Herron School of Art and Design. Space 204 is located at 25th Avenue South and Garland in the E. Bronson Ingram Studio Art Center on the Vanderbilt campus. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 pm. All exhibits are free and open to the public.

"No Going Back" by Barbara Yontz and "Aesthetic Predicament" by Quintin Owens will open Friday, May 18, and continue through Friday, June 29, 2012. An opening reception will be held Friday, May 18, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. New York and Nashville-based artist Barbara Yontz fascinates us with her use of sound, video and natural materials such as wool and hair. The centerpiece of this new sculptural exhibit is her 2009 work, The Star Womb Project: Monad to Nomad, an 8 foot dome-shaped structure made of wool, silk and hog gut representing not only a womb or cave but creating a nurturing listening space. It was inspired by research on the first star by astrophysicist Daniel Wolf Savin. Currently an associate professor of art at St. Thomas Aquinas College in New York, Yontz has exhibited her work extensively, including the Phoenix Gallery, Chelsea, NY; The Frist Center for Visual Arts, Nashville, TN.; the Jose Marti National Library, Havana, Cuba; The Boston Museum School in Boston, MA; and the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences, NJ. Quintin Owens' installation work is a gathering of past memories and experiences in which he utilizes a wide range of materials - from taxidermy and clay to balloons and construction materials - working to recall a sense of moment that can never be relived. Describing himself as "a mid-western kid, who after shoveling manure, stocking shelves, bailing straw, washing dishes, weeding mint and beans, feeding the hungry, and serving the drunk, decided that art making was the glue that stuck everything together." Currently studio assistant in the Department of Art. Owens has shown his work at Nexus 2012, University of Tennesseeís Downtown Gallery, Knoxville, TN; Marsh Gallery, Indianapolis, IN; the Zoller Gallery, University Park, PA; and the Coleman Burke Gallery New York, NY. He received his MFA from The Pennsylvania State University and BFA from the Herron School of Art and Design. Space 204 is located at 25th Avenue South and Garland in the E. Bronson Ingram Studio Art Center on the Vanderbilt campus. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 pm. All exhibits are free and open to the public.
