Overture Galleries

Direct Object

an exhibition by Amelia Toelke and Chinn Wang

Tue, Jul 5 - Sun, Sep 18

Gallery I | Free

 

In the exhibition, Direct Object, low-relief wall pieces depict images of everyday objects to explore the power and psychology of humans’ intrinsic attraction to objects and images.  Collaborators Amelia Toelke and Chinn Wang combine the materials and techniques of both sculpture and printmaking to create their installation at the Overture Center, employing punctuation elements and typographic symbols to compose a visual run-on sentence.  The exhibition presents the artists’ shared interest in themes of domesticity, nostalgia, consumerism, ornamentation, heirloom, and history.

Summer Gallery Cycle RECEPTION: FRI, JUL 15th from 6 pm to 8 pm
