Sound in Visions: Music is the Muse

About the Exhibition: Auditory and visual art have often had a symbiotic, intertwining relationship. Both use composition, rhythm, harmony, texture, and movement to communicate. Each distinct expression sparks creativity within the other—highlighting, contrasting, even blending into one another. We think of works by Matisse, Kandinsky and Stuart Davis transforming sound and rhythm into color and brushstroke; the breathtaking use of deconstructed instruments in sculptures by Armand. Artists have long captured musicians in portraiture, or become musicians themselves by creating their own instruments. As commentary or collaboration, music and visual art make a compelling pair. Let the music be your muse!

Saturday, May 23: Live music, rock n roll face painting, and haircuts with Rocky Angel, Electric Chaircut, Theresa Currie, and Jason Stamburger.

Saturday, May 30: Closing Reception from 3-6pm with performances by Christine Shields and Agness Twin.
