There will be a gallery talk at 12 noon on Thursday, March 20, in the art gallery
of the Fine Arts Center at Central College for a new exhibit, Mind Over Matter: Enigmatic Variations. Thursday evening there will be a reception for the artists and curators from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
HCC Central, in partnership with FotoFest 2008, presents the exhibit, devoted
to the work of visual artists using digital media to explore Surrealism. The show’s curators are Gregory Caslin and Associates. Together, the artists challenge assumptions of what constitutes “perceived reality.” With its emphasis on the links between reality and dreams, Surrealism holds a special appeal for photographers, whose essentially realistic medium can be used to create richly suggestive images. The presentation of fantastic and enigmatic images serves to either represent unconscious thoughts and dreams or illuminate present-day concerns. Digital “slight of hand” allows contemporary artists to conjure mysterious worlds that hover between the real and the fantastic.
The exhibit runs in Central’s Gallery, 3517 Austin at Holman through
April 8. The gallery is open Monday - Thursday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and
Friday and Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
