Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art
Nasvhville, TN, USA United States of America

The exhibition, titled Temporary Contemporary: Movements - Conceptual Art by Adrienne Outlaw, takes a retrospective look at Outlaw's art over the past several years. The exhibition's focus is on how the artist's day job as a radio and print journalist influenced the evolution of her art while her return to certain materials, such as textiles and nails, created a common thread in her work.

Outlaw has interviewed such art-world luminaries as Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella and James Turrell. With Movements she explores how her contact with these artists led to discoveries in her own work. A CD of Outlaw's interviews with approximately one-dozen internationally, nationally and regionally recognized artists will be included in the exhibition, allowing viewers don headphones and listen in. There will also be copies of Outlaw's reviews and reports from the weekly Nashville paper InReview available for visitors to thumb through. Outlaw's high profile in the field of journalism has recently morphed into that of an award-winning artist. In 1999, Outlaw was awarded the Metro Nashville Arts Commission's Creation Grant. She was also chosen as a participant in the public art program for the upcoming Nashville Library project. Outlaw, who received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1993, also attended Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. She has exhibited in four solo exhibitions and dozens of group shows in the region.
