While we are on the topic of new, progressive talent, Plus Gallery invites you to join us next Friday evening, April 25th for the opening reception of a very different and exciting exhibition: Kristin Stranky's "common/myth" is an explosive solo debut by an artist whose conceptual work involves a unique engagement with digital imaging, complex 3-d printing techniques and audience interaction. Her works examine the duality of emotion and physicality in popular cultural's examination of the body and mind. Rooted in society's rapidly advancing, collective "digital memory," Stransky creates a thought-provoking, interactive environment that is a vision of the future in both concept as well as material approach.

Plus Gallery first discovered Stransky's talent through her contribution to the 2013 USA Pro Challenge Bike Art project, hosted by Visit Denver and the Denver International Airport. Stransky's bike (in collaboration with fellow artist Audrey Seiler), a dazzlingly complex creation representing Steamboat Springs, utilized advanced 3-d printing techniques to stunning effect. The project deservedly took the top prize for that year's competition, a clear winner amongst a pack of talented and highly creative Colorado artists. The bike is now part of DIA's permanent art collection and is prominently featured on this year's annual wall calendar. Stransky's work has also been featured on the Creator's Project, the Ars Electronica blog, and Instructables. She completed her BFA from Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, Indiana in 2007, with a concentration in Sculpture. Stransky is currently a MFA student at the University of Denver in the Emergent Digital Practices program. She is an adjunct professor at the University of Denver, teaching Imaging, Coding and Wearables.
