This Month's Featured Exhibition
Objects d'Art: Illuminated Pleasures
Gene Smith and Larry Zdeb
July 30 - August 30, 2008
Opening Reception: Saturday, Aug 2 from 6pm - 9pm
Larry Zdeb and Gene Smith say that "Objects d'art”, is an exploration into the past. Influenced by Kurt Schwitters, Joseph Cornell and Robert Rauschenberg, the artists use vintage found objects as a major component in their constructions along with elements of Dada, randomness and chance. Layer after layer, the surfaces of these constructions reveal a variety of stimulating possibilities to the viewer.
Included in this show is a collection of box constructions, many of which feature battery-powered lighting. With the windows of the gallery blacked out and interior lights off, gallery visitors can turn on each box beginning with the smallest. In the dark, the normal parameters of the boxes are lost, provoking imaginative associations. The beauty of these assemblages is in pushing the envelope beyond the boundary of the conventional. Expect the unexpected!
Reminder: The opening reception will be on Saturday, August 2 (not the customary Friday).
