From RIVER HOUSE ARTS
The exhibit “Another Roadside Attraction” opens tonight (Jan. 24) 6-9 p.m. at River House Arts in the Secor Building in downtown Toledo. The exhibit continues through March 14.
As an exhibition, “Another Roadside Attraction,” like the Tom Robbins’ novel for which it is named, presents visions of the world that deal with inevitable strangeness of human endeavors . In short, this show presents works that variously reveal magic, wonder, absurdity, illusion, artifice, and delusion. The sum is a reflection on the inherent nature of living. Work inescapably ends up telling us something of the time in which it is created. Through its attentions it gives a sense of the shape and form of its context – the things that frame it. The work, as a positive, reveals a part of the mold that made it.
Featured artists: Erin Duhigg, Bianca Fields, Alex Overbeck, Mike Meier, Tony Ingrisano, Amber Kempthorn, Alberto Veronica Lopez, Seth Nagelberg, Zachary Smoker.
Also opening , in River House Gallery 6 is Lane Cooper’s “Memory Place.”
Memory Palace: the architecture of the past, a place where precious things are stored: elusive, a specter or a phantom, always just out of reach. In this small and intimate exhibition, Lane Cooper explores the stuff of memory and home.
“Memory Place” is on exhibit through March 14.
