Steven Weinberg: Transitions, cast glass sculptures.
Steven Weinberg received his B.F.A. from the New York
State College of Ceramics, Alfred University. He
obtained his M.F.A. from Rhode Island School of Design.
While at RISD, Weinberg won the Young American
Clay/Glass award form the New York City Craft Museum.
He later received two National Endowment of the Arts
Fellowships and participated in the Embassy Program for
the Arts. His work is shown in more than 30 permanent
public collections: the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
the Smithsonian Institute, the Corning Museum of Glass,
the Musee des Arts Decoratifs of the Palis du Louvre, the
Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
"My art has always been about a way to gain control
over my environment. Through the process of making
objects I am able to set parameters and make sense of
space whereas my day-to-day life borders on
unmanageable chaos. I find peace in the process of
making art juxtaposed to the uncertainty of everyday
living. It is within this dichotomy that I achieve a sense of
balance, of organization, even if it is fleeting and
unsustainable. I manage to achieve harmony within a
world that has spun out of control." - Steven Weinberg

Handle With Care and Full Fathom Five. March 8
- April 12, 2008. Plus+gallery, 2350 Lawrence St, Denver,
CO 80205.
Two Denver artists combine for a dynamic display of
representational painting at Plus Gallery. Riva Sweetrocket
and Peter Illig make their solo debuts at the gallery with "Handle
With Care" and "Full Fathom Five." Sweetrocket's new pastel
paintings are a tour de force of symbolic imagery and technical
skill.
Illig continues to appropriate imagery in a dense, cinematic
vein with human struggle of a sexual and survival nature coming
into play.

Complementing the two painters, Plus Gallery
presents a selection of recent photographs by
Bill Adams, presented in conjunction with the
Society of Photographic Educators National
Conference. Adam's ouevre is the perfect
complement to the realist work of Illig and
Sweetrocket and rarely exhibited despite his
teaching position at CU Denver. Adams
explores themes that are contextually similar
and rich in both symbolic and narrative detail.
