SUMMARY:JUST OUR TYPE featuring artists Meezie Hermansen and Kimberly Lorentzen
DESCRIPTION:Join us in our back gallery starting on November 14th for this two woman show titled JUST OUR TYPE. \nMeezie Hermansen and Kimberly Lorentzen will bring this interactive show to the KAC and in their words this exhibit is “intended to celebrate the written word and the themes of human experience in our community. We are together\, just our type of community…There is currently\, world-wide\, a resurgence of appreciation for the beauty of the manual typewriter as an elegant machine and of the physical experience of using it in a world that has become increasingly digital and virtual.”  \nIn the preceding months to the show opening\, be on the lookout for for staged public-use typewriters around town in coffee shops\, bookstores\, etc with invitations to share thoughts that will then be on display at this interactive exhibit. \nTheir idea was inspired by conversations asking the following questions: \n\nIf art heals\, can it heal the neglect of our physical bodies brought about by our minds’ engagement with a largely virtual world?\nCan the act of sharing thoughts publicly heal the separation that members of a community can feel in a society that has become increasingly divided along ideological lines in digital and virtual public discourse?\n\nThis show will open in tandem with the Mural Show opening reception in the main gallery on November 14th and will run thought December 19th. \nAbout the artists: \nMeezie Hermansen is a lifelong Cook Inlet setnetter and a small animal veterinarian with a love for the craft of writing.  This has brought her to the world of vintage typewriters.  Here\, she rediscovered the magic of seeing words appear physically in the world in real time\, with no easy editing\, resulting in a slower but more distilled writing process. \nKimberly Lorentzen grew up in rural Alaska where the village pace left plenty of time for curiosity and discovery. Whether writing\, painting\, or working in clay\, her goal is to showcase small wonders that are often missed\, to point at tiny marvels and yell\, “LOOK!” to anyone nearby. She uses whatever is at her disposal to do it.  She caught typewriter fever from her friend\, Meezie\, over long conversations about the trend toward all things fast and digital. \n
