9th International Juried Print Exhibition
December 10, 2021 - January 29, 2022

Statement from Juror Sarah Smelser:

When I really want to know about something, I consult the dictionary.

To jury this show, not knowing where to start, that’s what I did. I looked up the meaning of ‘juror’ in the dictionary: “noun: a member of a jury.” Not too enlightening. I looked further: “jury: noun: a body of people sworn to give a verdict in a legal case on the basis of evidence submitted to them in court.” So … a jury listens, examines, and discusses their findings. However, the word has another definition: “adjective: improvised for temporary use.” This definition intrigues me.
 
The temporary nature of something makes it alluring: ice in a cocktail, the smell of a good meal, a warm fire when it’s cold outside. A gorgeous sunset? Temporary. One of the best temporary things is a conversation because it’s a combination of elements: different characters respond to each other, voices overlap, laughter hangs in the air. There are expressions of joy, of sadness, of wonder, of curiosity. Sentiments layer, work in concert, and they complement one another. This is also the nature of a juried exhibition.
 
In this show there are landscapes, mindscapes, figures, and figures of speech. There are still lives, still waters, abstractions, and abstract notions. Spaces, faces, and fanciful places. Images and ideas interweave, coincide, and interlace; there’s a chord of notes in concert with one another. And the show is temporary, all the sweeter. At the end of the show, the pieces go back to their creators. Each one is noteworthy in its own way, but you must admit that they work well together: a magical mixture of luck and planning. If you’re in the area and can come see it, please do. If you’re an artist whose work is in the show, I hope you agree that you’re in good company. Like many great things, Remarque’s 9th International Juried Print Exhibition won’t be around for long.
