Organized by Girls’ Club in collaboration with Kenyon College, Spreading the Influence includes contemporary works of art from the collection of Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz, and recent work by Studio Art faculty at Kenyon College and members of the community. Spreading the Influence explores how artists influence each other across media, and through social networks, collaborations and mentoring. Artists in the exhibition work variously in illustrational, folkloric and narrative styles, while some reinvent traditional craft media, work in abstraction, or employ photography and video.
Girls’ Club is an alternative contemporary art space and private foundation in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, established in 2006 by Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz. Artists in the exhibition include: TJ Ahearn, Diane Arrieta, Read Baldwin, Rakel Bernie, Madeline Courtney, E. V. Day, Inka Essenhigh, Claudia Esslinger, Audrey Fenigstein, Francie Bishop Good, Joanne Greenbaum, Marcella Hackbardt, Theresa Hackett, Ann Hamilton, Adam Hinterlang, Mel Kadel, Cristina Lei-Rodriguez, Amy Mahnick, Pepe Mar, Julie Mehretu, Mariko Mori, Wangechi Mutu, Vickie Pierre, Elaine Reichek, Pipilotti Rist, Clare Rojas, Sarah Michelle Rupert, Ellen Sheffield, Simone Shubuck, Amy Sillman, Karen Snouffer and Michelle Weinberg.
