Lobby  Michael Mercil, Columbus, Ohio
  In My Father's House
  Act I. Belongings Belonging: Wash tub
The ground for these objects, each displayed in a different site - Albemarle County Office Building, Ash Lawn Highland, Paramount Theater, and Bayly Art Museum - is a gridded floor cloth. Their backdrop is wallpaper representing a murder of perching crows. The spaces are darkened. The "belongings" beckon to events stored in our memory. But there is no clear meaning. Our memory is dimmed. For some there is no memory, or worse, only false memory. For others, the only memory that will do is to forget.

  Benchmark
This piece honors our belief in open dialogue and discovery, the foundation of any respectful relationship among equals, whether in love, learning, or the rule of law. This sculptural bench ensemble creates an environment, both physical and psychological, that celebrates a continuation of the Jeffersonian tradition of civil exchange as a touchstone for the new millennium.

 Angus
Jefferson understood the need for a harmonious balance in the landscape between fields and pastures and buildings and roads. Through the use of hay bales and asphalt, Angus explores the unavoidable tension between the traditional farming way of life in Virginia and the dynamic growth that threatens the pastoral use of land around Charlottesville.

 Dennis Oppenheim, New York, NY
 Marriage Tree
This sculpture combines figures, both African-American and Caucasians, taken from wedding cake decorations and blown up to life-size. The piece melds new perspectives on Jefferson and Sally Hemings with contemporary concerns related to multiculturalism and gender relations.

A copper bar embedded in stone is left outdoors to weather. In time a verdigris and red stain will flow from the copper. The blood of suffering is not forgotten.

 How the Mind Travels
 This work involves paintings on pavement of the shadows of birds flying south for migration. The birds represent how the mind travels, the freedom of thought patterns and the pursuit of great ideas.

 Beatrix Ost, Keene, VA
 Table of Plenty
The tableau for the bees rests beneath the ominous cloud inside the labyrinth that puzzles us at all levels of existence. The bee is genetically driven to resolve its own chaos by constructing what for us is yet another mysterious labyrinth. The honeycomb is a living mandala, another signpost in Jorge Luis Borge's Garden of Forking Paths.
 Nature Morte
The artificial tree must fall. We attempt to encapsulate the essence of the egg. Will we be gods, seeding new planets and new species? Or will we be left with only a laboratory of crutches?

 James Welty, Charlottesville
 A Short History of Decay
Inspired by numerous literary sources and Jefferson's own investigations of the natural world, this copper sculpture growing from the grounds melds images of the uproarious forms in nature with ubiquitous manmade cast-offs.

 Ghost - a border act
To      d  e  l  i  n   e   a   t   e
The inscription of a line, wound,  round, an enclosure.
It announces,  fixes, establishes, marks, a visible trace. It  is  a  word, a name, a signature.
Roving the border between.
A hiss sounding the silence of
A Dividing from
A Dividing by
Erasures.
History.

 The Metamorphosis of a Scientific Article Produced in Mr. Jefferson's University in the Year 2000
Addressing the creative process in science and art, the installation evolved as a collaboration with the artist's husband, a physicist, into a portrait of their marriage, creativity, and aging. The matted fur backing of her husband's recycled scientific papers, the negation of the comfort of warmth by the intrusion of violence, the reference to body parts and the distressed, destroyed, and layered surfaces all reflect the drama of life.

 Parking
These four cars, painted by high school students, continue the artist's four-color "scatter artwork" in Charlottesville.

Jefferson wrote, "I cannot live without books." Throughout his life he collected over 6,000 volumes that he classified under the Enlightenment rubrics of Memory, Reason, and Imagination.

 Markings
The unmarked slave cemetery at James Madison's Montpelier plantation home provides both inspiration and necessity for the creation of Markings. The three structures, or winnowing houses, which reference the distinct vernacular architecture relating to cultivation in the Antebellum South, are overlaid with mythic images of the animal and plant life of this region.

 Natural Histories
Fusing a fascination with natural history museums and the genealogical mystery of Sally Hemings, the installation features works on canvas and intimate "specimen sculptures." the resulting painted photographs and altered objects are theatrical and symbolically fragmented, open narratives that question issues of identity, ancestry and being itself.

This exhibit showcases a proposed monument that will provide tangible and daily embodiment of the concept of free expression to the Charlottesville-Albemarle community.

 Poetry Walk: Reflections -Pools of Thought
This work brings the past into the present and the future by finding the essence of Jefferson's era in the prose and poetry of Virginia's writers (including Jefferson) and writers about Virginia and the revolutionary power of art. These writings, etched into granite stones and placed flat into the ground, were selected by the artist and students involved in the University's Art Board.
