The KSU Student Center Gallery presents "Flaming Senses," a collaborative exhibition by two gay artists: painter Steven Dunning and video artist Kevin Cook now through September 23.
According to the gallery announcement: "Dunning uses imagery from books and magazines of the 1940s and 1950s and aligns them to construct meanings that have contemporary social relevance. Cook uses electronic image-processing to produce videos bearing experimental narratives which challenge the conventions of commercial television. "Flaming Senses" includes work that expresses the artists' non-mainstream political and sexual concerns alongside works in which a gay male perspective is less easily identifiable. In this way, Cook and Dunning suggest that the gay experience is not an easily packaged phenomenon based solely upon sexual imagery. Furthermore, their differing and sometimes conflicting points of view challenge the myth of a singular and homogeneous gay male polemic."
The exhibition is in the Gallery on the second floor of the KSU Student Center, open from 8 am to 6 pm, Monday-Thursday; 8 am to 5 pm on Friday. 672-2554, ext. 217.
