Exhibition: Mirages at Crisp-Ellert Art Museum
Mirages brings together the work of Atterbury, Bourque-LaFrance, and Cowan for the first time. Though geographically separated (in Portland, Maine, Los Angeles, and Berkeley, CA) their conversations over the last year have helped to shape the trajectory of this exhibition. The exhibition title makes reference to the process through which each of these artists transforms materials and objects (wood, paint, images, rope, canvas, aluminum, photography) in order to reinterpret and reimagine the familiar. The artists embrace a simple premise: can a thing be a thing but also another thing? Exhibit hours are Monday – Friday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Admission is free. Crisp-Ellert Art Museum, 48 Sevilla St., St. Augustine, 904-826-8530 www.flagler.edu/ceam
