From: 71551.3365@compuserve.com (Kevin Boyer/Wilmette) Date: 95-07-18 13:24:43 EDT NEWS RELEASE July 17, 1995 Contact: Kevin Boyer, (708) 256-8446 Timothy Lynch, (312) 274-9790 Gerber/Hart Late Summer Exhibit Schedule Chicago, Illinois . . . The Gerber/Hart Gay and Lesbian Library and Archives announced its exhibit schedule through the end of September today. These exhibits are a continuation of Gerber/Hart's efforts to highlight the work of local lesbian & gay artists in a friendly space. The exhibits are planned and implemented by Gerber/Hart Board member, Timothy Lynch, who encourages artists to contact him at (312) 883-3003 if they would like to be considered for future exhibitions. July 21 to August 17, Gerber/Hart presents "Classical Images," an exhibition featuring the work of Chicago artist Fernando Reyes. Taking inspiration from existing sculpture, architecture, and fountains, Reyes evokes a sense of mystery, moods, and sensuality that goes beyond the originals. Integrating watercolor washes and pen and ink with other mediums such as oils and printmaking, Reyes reveals his love for the classical and neoclassical. An opening reception will be held featuring the artist on Friday, July 21, 1995, at Gerber/Hart from 7 to 9 pm. August 18 to September 21, Gerber/Hart presents "Vision Quest," an exhibition featuring the work of Chicago figurative and photo artist Scott A. Fleming. Having gained notoriety this past year for his unique vision of the human spirit, Fleming pursues the single-light-source theme evidence in much of his work. After years of wrestling with his sexuality, Fleming sees the single light source as a metaphor of one's particular psychological vantage point. An opening reception featuring the artist will be held on Friday, August 18, at Gerber/Hart from 7 to 9 pm. On Friday, September 22, Gerber/Hart will host a reception to introduce a multi-artist exhibition of work by members of Pride Youth, a drop-in center for Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Youth housed at the Unitarian Church in Evanston. This open exhibition will provide these young artists with a chance to experiment and play as well as show their sense of pride. For two years, Pride Youth has been serving young people from 13-18 years of age every Monday night from 6 pm to 9 pm. The Unitarian Church is located at 1330 N. Ridge Avenue, Evanston. The Gerber/Hart Pride Youth exhibit will run through mid- October; the ending date is not yet finalized due to other Gerber/Hart commitments in October, Lesbian, Gay & Bisexual History Month.
