Opening night: "Operation Popple People"

When: Saturday, June 3, 2006, 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Where: The Olive Gallery and Art Supply, 15 E. 8th St., Lawrence

Cost: Free

Age limit: All ages

Description: Liz Gardner is displaying her second show at the Olive. She has an installation of fun, stuffed popples upstairs. The custom-made creatures—ranging from a pod-shaped infant to a round, furry figure the size of a small parade float—are the artist's variation on the children's toys from the 1980s and a manifestation of the personal mythology she has built around them.

Meet Liz at the Opening Reception from 6-10pm on Saturday, June 3rd. Musical guests Ghosty will join, and the artwork of Joshua Olinger is featured in the Kid’s Corner.

In the downstairs gallery, Liz is displaying her two-dimensional mixed media works. The material Liz uses in her art often serves as its own muse. A new series of quilt-resembling pieces brings together fabrics, magazine photos and other materials with colorful, zig-zag stitching. She has also completed collages with sheet music (she is a classically-trained violinist), sculptures using only hair and wire, and designs based on anatomical slides and microchips.

The Olive is open from 11:00a.m-6:00p.m. daily.
