Exhibition | Eye Spy
On View: August 26 - September 26
Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.
In the Age of Immediacy, information flashes at warp speed, demanding our attention but providing little in return. Absorbing our world is often a thoughtless endeavor. Whether through a camera, mirror, or device, we are in a constant state of surveilling and being surveilled. Yet we understand that we cannot doom scroll our way to fulfillment. What is attention without intention? How can we, instead, be present in ourselves? How can we not just look, but see? The classic child’s game of I Spy demands we stop, look closely, and find. Likewise, the exhibition invites us to linger, to look again, to notice what seemed invisible only moments before. The artists create immersive worlds full of color, sound, texture, and repetition. They encourage the eye to wander through both the micro and the macro. They build worlds full of whimsy and mystery. The work in Eye Spy observes itself as much as it is observed. What emerges is joyous clarity and peaceful interiority. There is no doom, there is only discovery.
Closing recpetion September 17 following the MFA research presentations, which features five alumni/current MFA students.
