If you haven’t been to see Jason Hackenwerth’s installation exhibit “The Tempest” at Redux yet, you need to go check it out as it will be coming down very soon.

This New York installation artist created “The Tempest” specifically for Redux.

These “experimental sculptures cut from plywood are designed to fit together with a tongue-in-groove construction technique allowing the forms to be assembled like a giant puzzle and be held together by gravity. The sculptures also are grounded by large-scale deep blue drawings using the linear elements of their design. Inspired by the iconic sculptures and mobiles of past masters, especially Alexander Calder, each of Hackenwerth’s works are an expression in the evolving language of sculpture,” explains Janie Askew, executive director at Redux.

On Monday, join Hackenwerth and the Redux crew for the exhibition closing celebration. The cost is $5 for members, $10 for nonmembers. All proceeds will support Redux’s education and outreach programs.

There will be a gallery talk with Askew 5:30-6 p.m., live music from the Local Honeys 6-8 p.m. and a silent auction of Hackenwerth’s works will begin at 8 p.m. Redux is at 136 St. Phillip St. Call 722-0697 or go to www.reduxstudios.org.

‘Glimpses’

This month’s featured artist at the Charleston Artist Guild Gallery is Alvin B. Glen with a collection of pastels and mixed-media drawings titled “Glimpses of the Lowcountry.”

Glen describes his work as “surreal-realism,” as he says that his images are seldom in fully recognizable environments and that he either includes or takes away some element, allowing the viewer to complete the image.

“The images in this exhibit give brief looks into how I grew up and how new experiences affected my view of the familiar, the expected and the new. I prefer not to tell a complete story, but instead allow the viewer to complete the story with the knowledge they bring to the piece,” the artist said.

Join him 5-8 p.m. Friday for an opening reception of “Glimpses of the Lowcountry” at the Charleston Artist Guild Gallery, 160 East Bay St.

Doodle 4 Google

A while back, Google created a competition for children in kindergarten through high school called Doodle 4 Google.

“Doodle 4 Google is one of several efforts by Google to encourage and celebrate the creativity of young people by asking students to create their own Google doodle. The theme this year was ‘If I could travel in time, I’d visit ...’ , ” explains Marla Loftus, director of communications at the Gibbes.

Many South Carolina youngsters entered the competition, and the top doodles were chosen by Googlers and celebrity judges such as Katy Perry, “Phineas and Ferb” creator and executive producer Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, and recording artist Jordin Sparks.

The South Carolina Doodle 4 Google 2012 finalists recently were announced, and their work is on display at the Gibbes Museum Welcome Gallery.

There are 10 finalists, one from each grade, and there will be one piece of art from each.

The S.C. finalists are students from Bluffton, Conway, Johnsonville, Pickens, Rock Hill, Simpsonville, Mount Pleasant and North Charleston.

The works will be on display through the end of July. The Welcome Gallery at the Gibbes, 135 Meeting St., can be accessed without paying museum admission.

Highlights of the Gibbes collection can be viewed on Google Art Project at www.googleartproject.com.
