A Sudden Malfunction Closing Reception
Frontispace
755 Library Rd.
Sep 6, 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Frontispace is pleased to announce an exhibition of work by local artists Stephanie Ashenfelder and Amos Scully. The husband and wife team are the inaugural participants in the Frontispace Residency, a new initiative of the U of R Art and Art History Department to support the development of new work by regional artists. The exhibition concludes their summer residency and marks the first event in the newly renamed Frontispace, formerly the Gallery at the Art and Music Library. The artists explain: “We began this residency knowing we wanted to explore our human urge to affiliate with nonhuman animals. Our jumping-off point became the animals that we literally own: a horse, a dog, and our rooster and hens. We recognize these relationships are plagued with misunderstandings and mistakes — human to nonhuman glitches. Our work captures these sudden, usually temporary malfunctions through photogrammetry and confronts you with them in three dimensions.”
