Tuesday, June 30, 4 - 6 pm
Art Odyssey members are invited to a cocktail hour at the home of Museum Director, Laurel Reuter, with special guests Zoran Mojsilov and Chuck Kimmerle. Mojsilov will open his second solo sculpture exhibition with the North Dakota Museum of Art and Kimmerle his first immediately following this Art Odyssey event.
Zoran was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia in 1955. Throughout his childhood, he spent his summers with his grandmother in Vlasi, a small serbian village in the former Yugoslavia. It was here that Zoran's first inclinations to make things surfaced. During the 1980s Zoran was an artist-in-residence in Paris where he met painter Ilene Krug of Minnesota. They married and Zoran emigrated to the United States to live and work in Ilene's home, the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Since the late 1980s Zoran has shown regularly at galleries, museums, and sculpture parks in the United States and France, including such noted art institutions as the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Massachusetts, Chicago's Navy Pier Sculpture Park and Socrates Sculpture Park in New York.
Chuck Kimmerle, born and raised in Minnesota, has been a photographer for more than 20 years. He transplanted to Grand Forks in 1996 while working as photojournalist. His subsequent travels throughout the rural areas of the plains gave him an appreciation for the subtleties of the landscape, and the impetus for this ongoing project.
