ReLocations examines our experience of city spaces and the ways in which built environments affect the culture and inform our community identity. The theme of the city as a setting for historical change is addressed in Jean-Christian Rostagni’s photographs of the World Trade Center or Rachel Herrick’s night scenes of aging landmarks in Fuquay-Varina. Several artists create works that do not reference a specific place, as in Mario Marzan’s joyfully labyrinthine wall construction Sink, (2011) or Rosemary Winn’s glowing utopias presented in illuminated light boxes suggesting aerial photographs. Through painting, printmaking, mixed media installations, photography and video these artists imagine the city in very different ways. Whether as a site of migration and exodus, a platform for social construction, a neon marketplace or intangible network, the twelve artists in this exhibition share a common concern for conceptualizing the modern city and defining a new urban vision.
