Join us to celebrate the unveiling of Reconsidered Materials.
This Opening Night event features one-night-only installations,
performances, and a live DJ. Ulrika
Andersson is a featured artist in this new exhibition.
Our experiences of objects depend heavily on our understanding
and expectations of the materials from which they’re
made. Physical reality, and our own psychological relationship
to tools and materials, shape the ways we make, use, and
think about the things in our lives. Our ways of using
the basic building blocks of creation define our understanding
of the world itself. We even stratify time by naming historical
periods after revolutionary materials, such as the Stone,
Iron, and Bronze Ages.
Our relationships to objects and their materials often
go without thought, but this installation and opening
event feature artists who draw attention to those interactions
by creating works from unusual or unexpected materials.
These artworks comment on both the objects themselves
and on our subtler and more abstract relationships with
the substances of which they’re composed. |
