Smith-Stewart is pleased to present Compose!, the third exhibition in a series of Smith-Stewart roving gallery shows.

Featuring the work of eight artists, the exhibition explores the choreography of composition - the act and consequence of creation. Works in the exhibition - painting, sculpture, drawings, collage, installation and video—emphasize process and performance (Kate Gilmore and Alix Pearlstein), movements, form and sequence (Brian Lund and Jennifer Cohen), light and color experiments (David Malek and Benjamin Dowell) and patterns and arrangement (Fay Ray and Lisha Bai). Taken as a whole, the exhibition attempts to demonstrate a shared formal concern with the art of composing.
