GARDENfresh is an artist run project space in Chicago, IL. At Stray Show
2004 GARDENfresh will present the work of two artists from the UK; Ruth
Pringle and Ben Woodeson.
Ruth Pringle Graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone
College of Art, Dundee, Scotland in 1998. After a brief, grant
funded research trip to Greenland she settled in Stirling, Scotland where
she worked for three years for the Changing Room Gallery by day and conspired
with the experimental record label Diskono by night. Pringle was then lured
across the Atlantic by a generous assistance ship at Southern Illinois
University to gain an M.F.A. (graduating in August 2004) and ride a red
bicycle.
Glasgow based artist Ben Woodeson was selected to participate in the prestigious
New Contemporaries 2003 and he is currently Artist in Residence at The
Sculpture Space in Utica. He recently had a show at Mercer Union in
Toronto, and in September he is exhibiting "The Science of Superheroes" with
Andrea Jespersen at Overgaden - Institut for Samtidkunst in Copenhagen.
