Upcoming Exhibit: About Seeing

September 15 – December 30, 2012

This exhibition will explore the sense of sight and how artists and viewers perceive color, light, line, forms and images. It will explore vision and the eye, where visual perception originates. Why do two-dimensional works appear three-dimensional? What happens when certain colors appear next to one another? Do works of art look different when displayed on a white wall versus a colored wall? How does eye disease impact an artist’s work? Artists and audiences for visual art have asked these questions for centuries. This exhibition will emphasize the “visual” in the visual arts.

Interactive “vision stations” will be a part of this exhibition allowing visitors to see the world of visual art in new and thought-provoking ways.

Included in the exhibit will be work by Josef Albers (German-born American, 1888–1976), Tom Seghi (American), and Bridget Riley (British, b. 1931).
