ART BARN/FINCH LANE GALLERY UP: A mixed media installation by Pam Bowman juxtaposing the rhythms of daily ritual in China against the rhythms of daily ritual in the United States.|above| Two specific neighborhoods– one in Nanjing and the other in Provo–are portrayed. Included are video and mixed media collage. Bowman: "My inclusion of Chinese culture in this project is a result of living in China for one year, and realizing that people of all cultures are more alike than they are different. One of the constants I have seen is daily rhythm....(In my work) repetitive and labor intensive processes are used to portray the tasks of living; the steady and continual efforts of life." AND: Women of Rock and Ice: Photography by Anne Spencer, including large format black-and-white images of women who do extreme outdoor activities "made to show that women are beautiful and inspiring role models in the mountains.

PALMERS GALLERY (378 West Broadway [300 South]. UP: New large-scale abstract paintings by David Maestas (see page 1). UPCOMING: New Mixed Media Artwork by Monika Del Bosque and Justin Wheatley.

The photographic transfer elements have been painted on, sanded away and then painted on again lending an almost ghostly quality to the paintings.
