The Black resolves itself to moonlight…by David Ebanks
“The deconstruction of chemical bonds as those two forces take their natural course, remind us all that the natural order of existence is entropy: decline, failure and decay. There is beauty in the spaces between these points, though—-for those who choose to see it,” according to Hart.
In the Big BOX, Davin Ebanks, a professor at Kent State University and AoRC member, presents Human Nomenclature [Looting a Bazaar for Your Own Portrait]. The show features a combination of contemporary glass sculptures and prints that examine the relationship between identity and environment.
“I see my sculptures as metaphors for the subjective nature of identity and history…I work with some of the elements that form my personal and cultural identity: water, pattern-work, blackness and self-portraits,” Ebanks described.
The BOX Gallery also has a new gallery director for 2019. Jaclyn Hale is a 2016 graduate of The University of Akron’s Myers School of Art. She is a metalsmith and contemporary jewelry artist.
The BOX Gallery is FREE and open to the public during exhibitions on Fridays and Saturdays from 12-5 p.m. Additional hours are Thursday, Jan. 17, 4-7 p.m. for 3rd Thursday and Saturday, Feb. 2, 5-9 p.m. for Artwalk.

The July-August 2019 show, Me, Myself and I? Juried Art Exhibition at Summit Artspace on East Market has brought together self-portraits where artists interpret themselves as pixels, stone coldness, the familiar of avian beauties, a hat, feet and the many ways to create the human face.
Me, Myself and I? opened with a free reception with the artists on Friday, July 19, 5-8 p.m., in the main gallery at Summit Artspace on East Market, 140 East Market St., Akron. See the winners here.
The exhibition, which runs until Aug. 31, is free and open to the public. It will feature 45 pieces in different media by 40 local artists.
MORE THAN A SELFIE
A self-portrait is a representation of an artist that is drawn, painted, photographed or sculpted by that artist. Artists have been making self-portraits since the earliest of times, sometimes depicting themselves as the main subject or as important characters in their work.
Me, Myself and I? is an exhibition of self-portraits with the works depicting the artists who produced the pieces. The exhibit is juried by noted local artist and educator, Ron White and will feature a variety of mediums, such as sculpture, painting, drawing, and photography.
ARTIST Panel Discussion AUG. 29
Hear the artists and the juror talk about creating themselves in a visual medium on Thursday, Aug. 29, 7 p.m., in the main Summit Artspace on East Market gallery. Visit the show before the panel; gallery opens at noon. Please reserve your seat at https://bit.ly/2x7sxdR.
Visitors will see all styles of self-depictions, including realism, abstraction, representational, self-portraiture, traditional, conceptual and modern. Artists have been encouraged to use this exhibition to fully explore their own image and provide the exhibition audience with an inside view of the Me, Myself and I? hidden inside.
ABOUT JUROR RON WHITE
Juror Ron White is known for his captivating and often haunting images, often of himself, that allow the viewer a glimpse of his view of the world, how he is affected by what he sees, and how he wants you to view both his work and him.
An award-winning artist, White creates with clay, charcoal, ink and ice. His murals are larger than life and draw you into a tightly-drawn universe of complexities and relationships. He is well-known for his portrait busts which freeze-frame the character of a subject, often incorporating wicked humor or cutting political commentary.
White’s work is in private homes and collections. He shows throughout Akron, Cleveland and the Short North in Columbus. A member of the Akron Society of Artists and the Artists of Rubber City, he can be seen working at his studios at Summit Artspace on East Market in downtown Akron or at Summit Artspace on Tusc in Barberton. White teaches art at Barberton High School.
