Join us for the opening of a new solo exhibition by artist-in-residence Luke Stettner.
Friday’s opening reception is a free event and will take place at 516 Sampsonia Way.
For his project at 516 Sampsonia, Luke Stettner will engage in a series of nine initial collaborations. Each embedded work contends with the force of the sun – as an agent of growth, keeping time, distortion. Collaborations include a solar darkroom built directly into the space, where images will be printed using the sun as their sole light source (with Calista Lyon). An adjacent room holding a stained-glass skylight created using dozens of UV filters will be embedded in the ceiling (with Mike Stickrod). As the exhibition unfolds, more collaborators will be incorporated. These acts of cooperation and observation – between artists, but also with museum staff and goers, who will be engaged in the ongoing making of the work – are at once the exhibition’s strategy and its message.
Drinks and non-alcoholic refreshments will be available.
Limited parking is available in the museum’s parking lot located at 509 Jacksonia Street. Additional free parking is available on the streets surrounding the museum’s campus.
