Exhibition | At the surface 2018

March 23 - May 4, 2018

OPENING RECEPTION:

Friday, March 23, 5:30 - 8:00pm | FREE

THE EXHIBITION

This all-media exhibition addresses the surface quality of artworks. A fundamental element of artwork, texture can be expressed physically or visually.  This exhibition encourages the artist to focus on this element, and the implications it holds for the viewer.  It asks both artists and viewer to consider what the physicality of the work conveys. The phrase “surface level” often alludes to a shallow interpretation: this exhibition provides the opportunity to explore the depth of the exterior.

ENTRY FEE

Artists may submit up to three works for a non-refundable
processing fee of $35. Foundry Art Centre members may
submit up to three works for a non-refundable fee of $24.

He holds a MFA in sculpture from Syracuse University and was a Fulbright senior scholar (Budapest, Hungary). Duhigg has exhibited in a wide variety of venues including Laumeier Sculpture Park and Museum, Amarillo Museum of Art, Huntsville Museum of Art and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
