CINCINNATI, OH—On Friday, February 1, from 6 to 8 p.m., the Cincinnati Arts Association’s Alice F. and Harris K. Weston Art Gallery in the Aronoff Center for the Arts opens three exhibitions: Thoughts Made Visceral, a group exhibition comprised of text-based works curated by C. M. Turner; Dominic Guarnaschelli: Incognitum, a solo exhibition presenting an evocative environment that recalls a museum, yet whose subject remains out of reach; and Migiwa Orimo: Proximity of Syllables, a solo exhibition that examines language and communication as illusive entities. (See separate press releases for the concurrent Thoughts Made Visceral and Migiwa Orimo: Proximity of Syllables exhibitions.)
Dominic Guarnaschelli’s (Louisville, KY) evocative installation Incognitum draws inspiration from the fields of natural history, religion, education, and museological display. Guarnaschelli will physically transform the Weston’s lower west gallery through an array of sculptural and image-based work inspired by museum display and design.
Dominic Guarnaschelli is a multidisciplinary artist based in Louisville, KY. He received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Notre Dame (Notre Dame, IN) in 2001 and a Master of Fine Arts from Florida State University (Tallahassee, FL) in 2004. He has taught studio art and design courses at the collegiate level since 2003 and his artwork has been featured in several solo and group exhibitions nationally. He was awarded an Al Smith Fellowship in Visual Art by the Kentucky Arts Council in 2013 and served as a mentoring artist in Louisville Visual Art’s The Future is Now program in 2017. In addition to his studio practice, Guarnaschelli is an exhibition design consultant and currently serves as creative director at the
Kentucky Derby Museum (Louisville, KY) curating and designing exhibitions. In June 2018, he was a featured lecturer at the inaugural Museum Studies program at Albany State University (Albany, GA).
