Look Down: A View from Above
October 9 @ 6:00pm
The Livingston Center for Art and Culture is proud to host a new exhibit – LOOK DOWN: A View From Above. LOOK DOWN will be on display September 29th through October 17TH and explores what it means to be looking from “above” in literal, emotional, metaphorical, and/or spiritual senses – and at distances from miles to millimeters. A mix of artists working in a variety of media will display their interpretations of the theme.Nancy Kessler, co-curator for this exhibit, said the show is about perspective. “Perspective is such an integral facet of artistic expression, affecting how each viewer perceives each work. A straight-on stance will evoke a different response than an oblique view, as will looking at a subject from below or around an edge. I was intrigued by the idea of selecting a single perspective – LOOK DOWN – presenting only what is below, and leaving everything else to interpretation. The focus was intentionally broad, to encourage depiction of the theme in works from macro to micro and every distance in between. I was also eager to see what artists would choose to portray as they look down – people, places, the natural world, structures, events, abstractions and more.”
Come meet the Artists – and see their perspective – during a Reception on Friday, October 9th from 6-8pm. The Center is located at 119 South Main Street in historic downtown Livingston. For more information on exhibits and classes, call (406) 222-5222 or visit http://www.livingstoncenter.org.
