Sondheim Prize Finalist Exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art
June 21 through August 3, 2008
Opening on Saturday, July 12 -- galleries open at 6 pm, announcement at 7 pm, reception from 7:30-9 pm
Exhibition of work by the five finalists for the $25,000 Janet & Walter Sondheim Prize. Curated by Darsie Alexander BMA Senior Curator of Contemporary Art. Finalists selected by Laura Hoptman, Senior Curator at the New Museum, artist Mickalene Thomas, and art historian Darby English. Finalists are Becky Alprin, Melissa Dickenson, Dawn Gavin, Geoff Grace, Maren Hassinger, and Molly Springfield.
In conjunction with Artscape, Baltimore's premier arts festival, the BMA presents a special exhibition of the finalists for The Janet & Walter Sondheim Prize, which is organized by the Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts. The six finalists for this year's $25,000 prize are artists Becky Alprin, Melissa Dickenson, Dawn Gavin, Geoff Grace, Maren Hassinger and Molly Springfield. They were selected by an independent panel of jurors including Laura Hoptman, Senior Curator at the New Museum in New York, Mickalene Thomas, a New York-based artist, and Darby English, an art historian specializing in postwar and contemporary American art, cultural studies, art theory and criticism.
The winner will be announced at a special ceremony and reception held at the BMA on Saturday, July 12. This prestigious award is named after the late Baltimore civic leader Walter Sondheim and his late wife, Janet. Sondheim's enormous impact on Baltimore included overseeing desegregation of the City schools in 1954, and championing the redevelopment of the Inner Harbor in the 1970s. Another exhibition of semifinalists will take place at the Maryland Institute College of Art's Decker and Meyerhoff Galleries from July 17 through August 2.

Reflections of Color
Shirley Koller
June 1, 2008 through July 12, 2008
Koller's rhythmic sculptures get their strength from high color contrast acrylic paints applied in myriad patterns of shapes, dots and lines to strips of metal, bent in curvilinear ribbons which are assembled in ramdom applications to mirror finished polished steel or aluminum. Multiple images become joyful, rhythmical and playful.

Together, they chart an open-ended timeline, awaiting the viewer to complete.
