Howard House is presenting two exhibitions opening on February 28th. Hello, features new work by Gretchen Bennett, and Supernature, curated by Bennett, features seven New York based artists working in a range of different media. Bennett will be talking about the two exhibitions at noon on Saturday, March 1st.
In her latest body of work, Gretchen Bennett continues her process of collecting and gathering found materials. No longer tracing the geographical iconography of the Northwest, she widens her focus to include an in-depth look at the pop-culture iconography of the area through drawings of the band Nirvana and its lead singer Kurt Cobain.
Gretchen Bennett received her MFA at Rutgers University in 2001, and has exhibited widely on both coasts. Hello is Bennett's second solo show at Howard House.

Curated by Gretchen Bennett, Supernature examines the notion of the perfect landscape, but instead of presenting an idealized or romanticized view of the natural world, the artists allow for the possibility that the perfect landscape can be found in hybrid and abandoned settings. The show is a collection of assembled topography acting as shallow landmarks, however bare or stylized.
