 Boutade: A divergent reunion of mother and child\,' which features new wor
 ks in multimedia by Maggie Quinn and Harley David Young. Meanwhile\, S.P.Q
 .R. will host 'Art Aloud\,' a juried exhibition of art that is influenced 
 the the written and spoken word. The opening reception for this show will 
 feature performances of the words which served as the inspiration for the 
 exhibited pieces.\n\nMore information for 'Boutade':\n\nBorn and raised a 
 fourth generation Colorado Springs resident\, Harley David Young has lived
  and grown on the Front Range for most of his life. Moving to Chicago as a
  young adult to study art\, Harley graduated with a BFA from the School of
  the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007\, focusing in sculpture and drawing.
  Living there for seven years he pursued varied interests\, including work
 ing as a studio assistant\, running a small nationally recognized artist-r
 un gallery\, and taking a prominent role in a community\nbicycle youth out
 -reach program. Seeking a career in education\, Harley acquired an M.Ed. I
 n Educational Studies from University of Illinois\, Chicago in May of 2010
 . Currently back home and teaching fourth grade via Teach For America\, Ha
 rley lives and practices in the old north end. Present in his work is a pl
 ayful\, impish sensibility and use of material. Making predominate use of 
 mundane craft\, pedestrian materials\, crude gestures\, layered imagery\, 
 and both domestic and institutional objects\, Harley constructs images and
  objects that draw on his heritage on the Front Range\, and employs an idi
 osyncratic symbolic language.\n\nColorado Springs has been home to Maggie 
 Quinn for her entire life. California College of Art\, CU Boulder\, and Co
 lorado Mountain College provided the educational foundation for her study 
 of the arts. Classical drawing and painting\, jewelry design\, photography
 \, and pottery were major courses of study. Travels and field expedition s
 tudy with top ceramicists from around the globe have added a sense of curr
 ent influence to her work today. Porcelain and wood-fire are continual med
 ia and process that she brings to her gallery. The camaraderie and risk th
 at comes from firing clay to temperatures of 2\,300&deg\; F or more\, in a
  hand fed wood burning kiln\, has embedded the lifestyle of the potter int
 o her being. Forms in nature serve as a muse\, all media the platform\, wh
 ile ceramics remain the passion of her creation. In the execution for the 
 pieces for Boutade\, Maggie brings to the audience humor and wonder\, with
  a bit of satire. Holding ceramic media as the main venue for her artistic
  story\, she has blended form and subject matter with her son\, Harley Dav
 id Young.\n\nStart time: Fridays 5:30 p.m.\nOpening reception is from 5:30
  p.m. til midnight on Friday\, April 6th
