Multiple Partners is a group exhibition that explores the range of connections a female artist can find with her male artist contemporaries. Sociological or biological factors may influence women to express themselves differently from men, but other far-ranging factors, from our shared humanity to similar tastes in literature, music, and science, produce commonalities and linkages in our creative output. Without expectations for a conclusive sum total, this show explores the possibility that artists of both genders can look to the same influences and belong to the same history.

Starting with this premise, Multiple Partners comprises six female artists – Kristin Anderson, Sandra Bermudez, Carla Gannis, Elizabeth Huey, Anna Pedersen, and Gae Savannah. Each woman has invited two or more male artists with whom she feels her work shares a dialogue to participate with her in the show. The criteria for selecting male “partners” ranges from shared conceptual methods to analagous explorations of content, imagery and form. The works of the selector and the selected are grouped together in the exhibition so that these linkages are made visually evident via their proximity.
