And So It Went: Ephemeral Art
May 12 – June 16
Opening Reception Friday, May 10, 7 – 9 p.m.

A collaboration with NewTown, this juried exhibition includes art that sprouts, rots, rusts, melts, runs, oozes, dies, regenerates, and in numerous other ways changes over time. And So It Went celebrates the ephemeral, things evanescent along a scenic byway populated by artists whose visions bypass the permanence paradigm of traditional art. The materials are as diverse as yogurt, rye seed, potatoes (sweet and otherwise), ice, sugar, men's suits, leaves, bubble gum, dinner rolls, chocolate, and even photos of Robert Rauschenberg. Visit this show at least twice to see the changes over time. Each week the show will be documented and the public can see photo images of the art as it changes. At a special closing, featuring ephemeral performances, the full documentation of the show will be unveiled.

Artists include Kim Abeles, Karen Atkinson, Dori Atlantis & Karen Frimkess-Wolff, Lorraine Cleary Dale, Leo Hobaica, Laurel Hunter, Nina K. Jun, Gina Kuraner, Louisa Miller, John Mills, Lazaro Montano, Jane Polkinghorne, Nancy Popp, John Sanchez, Rachel Siegel, Silvana Tai Kenney, Beth Thielen, Matt Wardell (closing only), and Jeff Williams.
