Wife and Husband
Collaborate on Art Exhibition
Opening February 1st, First Friday, the Blue Sky
Gallery, 8 North Main Street, hosts Your
Turn a collaborative exhibition of the work of nationally-known
photographer, Francis Schanberger and his wife, painter, Bridgette Bogle.
Schanberger will be exhibiting photographs based on his
wanderings around Dayton and photographs made in response to his wife’s
paintings. Bogle, in turn, will display abstract paintings made in answer to
her environs as well as paintings directly inspired by Schanberger’s images.
The artists delight in extracting ingredients from each
other’s work: formal elements, ideas about their hometown and their respective
media, then reshaping these components into new pieces of their own. Despite
cohabitating for over a decade, the couple has never before collaborated.
At the conclusion of the exhibit, Bogle and Schanberger have
organized a potluck, For Your Inspiration.
Instead of bringing food, visitors are asked to bring an example of something
that influences them, such as sound recordings, video, magazine clippings or
books to share with those in attendance. The opening reception is scheduled for
6 – 10 pm on Friday, February 1st and the closing reception is
scheduled for Friday March 1nd also 6 – 10 pm.
