Art Exhibition: The Young and the Restless, Part 3, Brother Kenneth Chapman Gallery, Arts Center
This exhibition, curated by Will Corwin, questions the
contemporary concepts of medium and artistic practice; by turns each of the
artists ponders and re-works the disciplines of painting, drawing, sculpture
and photography. Diverse artists deal with equally diverse issues from
colonialism and genocide to aesthetic questions of color, composition and the
nature of light. Admission is free.
