 | Balancing Act
Tammy Smith
Local artist explores the various ways we all strive for balance in our lives and loves.
Kansas City, MO April 2nd, 2010 Mixed media artist Tammy Smith last year began and still
continues to explore the theme of circuses and sideshows, this time landing on the subject of balance.Her
show "The Balancing Act" which will be held at the Hilliard Gallery in its new location at 1820 McGee St. on
Friday, April 2 will feature a fire eater and a juggler in keeping with the theme. "I don't know one person who doesn't strive for some sort of balance in their lives: balance between work and home life, between reality and desires, fear and courage, on and on." Tammy even explores the balance one strives for in love. In one large kinetic mixed media piece entitled "The Moving Target" a woman is strapped to and slowly turns on a rotating wheel while a knife thrower takes careful aim at the target emblazoned over her heart. "This speaks to losing your balance in love, where you feel that you become a victim rather than an equal participant in the relationship."
"The Balancing Act" will be held in conjunction with the grand re-opening of the Hilliard Gallery at it's new
location at 404 E. 18th St. across the street from Christopher Elbow and Tomboy.
The show runs from 6-9pm
on Friday, April 2 and will continue through April 30.

 | City of Art: Kansas City's Public Art
Tim Janicke
Kansas City is graced with an abundance of public art astounding in its variety and quality. From the whimsical "Shuttlecocks" to the classical "Thinker," from the "Sky Stations" atop Bartle Hall to the "Bull Wall" outside Kemper Arena, art is all around us, yet seldom do we pause to appreciate its majesty or its humor. City of Art by The Kansas City Star's Tim Janicke, the long-time photo editor of Star Magazine, captures the extraordinary beauty and character of Kansas City's public art with photographs that are themselves works of art.
