Grab a pair of “actual” reality goggles and join us at the Museum this Saturday, August 17th from
3 to 5 p.m. for the closing reception of Actual Reality! Artists Carlos Grasso and Peter Fox will be in attendance, and exhibit catalogs featuring detailed imagery and the inside story of their exhibit will be distributed to visitors for free. Actual Reality, a new exhibit created by local artists Carlos Grasso and Peter Fox, examines the present day disconnect between virtual and actual reality. Grasso and Fox both utilize diverse found objects as ingredients in their art. Grasso considers hand-cut shredded pieces of canvas, rusty sheets of metal, or scraps of wood, the ‘blood and bones’ of his creations. Fox adds the element of humor to help us navigate the ‘complex absurdity of … existence’.
