Gold Dark Matters by John Torreano Ocean 2000 by Vija Celmins Solar 2 by Ann Chwatsky Looking Up, Looking Out: At the Sky and the Stars, at the Land and the Sea. An Exhibit of works by Vija Celmins, Ann Chwatsky, April Gornik and John Torreano Opening Reception Friday, August 17th from 6:00pm to 8:00pm Exhibit runs through September 16th, 10:00am to 5:00pm The sky is a vast storybook open above us, but it doesn’t tell the same stories to everyone. For thousands of years, people have looked up and taken from the sky tales that explained some of the amazing things they saw or imagined were there. Through the ancient stories, we learn something about the human mind and with it, something about ourselves. And today, with satellites, probes and moon walks we know so much more. We are all aware of the sky and its unique qualities particular to this area as it reflects the various bodies of water and of its land surfaces. Artists have long been fascinated by the sky and its solar systems and portrayed their versions of what they “see”. The artists for this exhibit “see” and express very different views of the Universe and its systems that we live with, with the feelings that are there, and with what the universe portends and it feels like to them. Each of these four artists has looked at these concepts in varied ways which we hope will give rein to everyone’s imagination.
