OPTICS: An art exhibition and symposium
@ Vital Arts Project
pin 1322 Washington Ave, Racine, WI 53403
Opening Saturday, November 2nd, from 1PM - 5PM
On view through Saturday, November 9th
OPTICS>Vital Art Project, an Environmental Art Exhibition and Symposium,presents an existential approach to Environmentalism. The multidimensional interrelated Exhibit and Symposium put forward by influential creatives as an alternative to stereotypical presentations gives rise to an inquiry on relationships between nature, human, and technology, between space and place, in philosophical and practical terms.
Centering on the concept of Popup events, the temporary transformation of 1322 Washington Ave. into an innovative exhibition space has enabled
environmental considerations to be reconciled by both artist and symposium speaker. The contributors show a passion for details of the real world in their search of authentic synergy between activist content and environment concepts, and for familiar things that link intellectual abstraction to the place in which we live.
