Graveyard Reception
January 24, 2020 @ 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
In this multimedia body of work from local artist Summer Orr, viewers will have the ability to quite literally cast light upon ceramic sculptures, found objects, and visual elements in a personal, simulated night-time desert environment, where shadows ominously flicker and warp one’s perception of reality. Both contemporary sculpture and installation-based work are mediums that have the potential to form an intimate connection between the artist’s experience and that of the viewer. This is Orr’s first venture into large, site-specific work with an aim to spark dialogue about the current environmental and social issues at hand. In this case, Graveyard seeks to open up a platform to examine humanity’s grave effect on nature and the earth — our mutual eternal resting place.
Graveyard is on view in the Serva Pool Gallery at the Holland Project from Jan. 22nd – Feb. 14th. Come out to the reception with the artist on Friday, January 24th. Gallery hours are 12-6pm, Wednesday – Friday or by appointment by contacting alberto@hollandreno.org or calling 775-448-6500.
