		MontereyNOW: Kevin Miller
Kevin Miller Donut Box 2, 2008 Cut paper and donut box courtesy of the artist		July 16 to November 8, 2009 MMA Pacific Street Overview: This summer, MontereyNOW will feature artist Kevin Miller. Using only a single piece of paper, Miller creates his images by cutting them out with an exacto knife. He sparingly layers more paper to form backgrounds or provide contrast. At times humorous, at others sinister, Miller’s imaginative and often complex cut-paper vignettes offer glimpses of apparently ordinary life, whose mysterious stillness is full of possibilities. Modeled after nationally-acclaimed series such as the Whitney Museum of Art’s Bucksbaum Award, the mission of MontereyNOW is to identify and commend local artists who have made a significant contribution to the visual arts, regionally as well as nationally. MontereyNOW will now be offered quarterly. MontereyNOW is sponsored by Barbara and William Hyland.
