The Tompkins County Public Library announces the unveiling of its latest art exhibit, Landscape and Memory, curated by Tim Merrick, with an opening reception to be held on Thursday, April 8 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM in the Thaler/Howell Programming Room.
The second exhibit in the series, “A Year of Art at Your Library—2010,” Landscape and Memory features works that use landscape as a vehicle to explore deeper emotion. While landscapes have been used throughout art history to depict a sense of place, many artists such as Frederic Church, Winslow Homer, Georgia O’Keeffe and Alex Katz have chosen to use landscape to express a more complex emotional state.
Merrick’s exhibit brings together a collection of work including, paintings, prints and sculpture by local and regional artists that also exhibit a more profound meaning in the landscapes that are portrayed. Featured artists are: Bill Hastings, Christa Wolf, Craig Mains, Dede Hatch, Kent Loeffler, Laurel Guy, Pamela Drix, Ralph Turturro, Suzanne Onodera, and Merrick himself.
Merrick and several of the artists will be present and available to discuss their work as well as conduct tours of the exhibit during the opening reception.
Landscape and Memory will be on display through May 28. For more information, contact Sally Grubb at (607) 272-4557 extension 232 or sgrubb@tcpl.org.
This exhibit is made possible by grant support from the Brooks Family Foundation and the Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County.
