• Squared
The Invisible Hand Gallery (801 1/2 Massachusetts Street in Lawrence, KS)
Friday, November 26, 5-10pm (Ongoing through December 20)

From the Organizers:
The ever-nebulous Fresh Produce Art Collective is squeezing itself into an exhibition of square format artworks. Styles range from rust prints by Charles Ray to post-digital paintings by Jeromy Morris. Photographers Jim Luhning and Adam Smith join unpredictable explorers Jeremy Rockwell and Yuri Zupancic. Paul Flinders will weave us another dream, Mike Adams slaps out a square peg, Leo Hayden brandishes blocks of brushwork, Anne Bruce engineers soft subtlety, Erok Johanssen sprays the street spirit, Josie Wrath serenades in equal X and Y dimensions, Matt Ridgway riddles us this and that and the collective’s free flowin’ fabric will surely yield a few more surprise guests. So, swing on up and see their squares sing.

“Wolffe” by Joshua Rizer

• Innerlogue
The Bourgeois Pig (6 East 9th Street in Lawrence, KS)
Friday, November 26, 5-8pm (Ongoing through December 30)

From the Organizers:
This show features overly simplified pieces done in the style of four color comic book panels. Utilizing our private social agonies, I wanted to show that our options for realization and expression are often as limited as the situation that renders us, as the eyes we are seen through. Innerlogue refers to the idea that our interior thoughts are often where we live most of our lives and that our public persona is merely a life support system for who we privately are, hence the overly wordy thought balloons blotting out the action in these pieces. Joshua Rizer has been drawing, writing, composing, filming and most recently, painting, for the last twenty years. He resides in Kansas City, MO.
