Closing Reception for Denisovan at the CPCC Pease Gallery
On Thursday, August 28th, I will give a talk at 4pm, followed by a closing reception until 7pm for the exhibition of Denisovan at the CPCC Pease Gallery. All are welcome, come on by!
Denisovan in the Charlotte Observer
Last Friday in the Charlotte Observer (8/15), writer Barbara Schreiber highlighted ‘Denisovan’, now on view in Pease Gallery, in her monthly gallery roundup:
Denisovan
In 2010, researchers discovered bone fragments in Siberia’s Denisova Cave; these fragments were identified as the remains of a young girl of a previously unknown Homo sapiens subspecies.
Heather Freeman, a UNC Charlotte art professor, used this discovery as the jumping-off point for her interactive book “Denisovan.” You can (and should) download the app at denisovan.blogspot.com, but at Pease Gallery you can view the project in the form of large-scale digital prints.
These prints underscore that “Denisovan” is not dependent on technology – it is, at its core, a story. Whether experienced as an app, a physical book or an exhibition, “Denisovan” is quiet and intense. Filled with contradictory emotions, it includes observations on maternal exhaustion, cruelty and love.
“Denisovan” is a complex journey through the idea of what it means to be human. It is deeply researched and deeply felt. Freeman has the confidence not to let her research override her project’s emotional power.

Accepted to SPARKcon Triangle Game Showcase
Denisovan was accepted as one of five games to be showcased during Raleigh's SPARKcon festival as part of the Triangle Game Showcase at the Contemporary Art Museum. Unfortunately, I may have to give up my spot to a runner up since the designers must be there from 11 - 5 on Sunday, September 15th, and I will be taking down the Aggregation Transformation installation in Charlotte that day. Still, it's an exciting confirmation for this project, and SPARKcon promises to be an amazing four-days for those near the Triangle.
