Anna Hepler: Makeshift

July 24 through October 17, 2010

In July, Maine artist Anna Hepler will construct a monumental installation inside the Museum's Great Hall. Made from a nest-like mesh of salvaged and sewn sheet plastic, The Great Haul will take advantage of the Museum's expansive entry space. A second exhibition of Hepler's work, on view in the fourth floor gallery, will feature a series of 20 cyanotype and drypoint prints made from digital photographs of small sculptures, and like her large installations, these works are defined by light. This will be Hepler's first solo exhibition at the Portland Museum of Art, and this exhibition is the first in a series called Circa that will explore compelling aspects of contemporary art in the state of Maine.

Circa is a series of exhibitions featuring the work of living artists from Maine and beyond.

Circa is made possible by S. Donald Sussman.
