Opening Reception and Artist Talk: Friday, September 16, 7 – 9 PM

In a hyper-mediated and connected world, former VisArts Bresler Resident Artist Corwin Levi longs for experiences and places where he feels lost. Relying on his own wits and senses allows him access to a heightened, expanded awareness that fades when the GPS system is activated. In his solo exhibition of paintings, void drawings, video and void photographs, Levi concentrates on waves and the stars. He builds a metaphorical relationship between these vast unknowable spaces and the possibilities in the outer physical world and within individual personal experience.
