SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: "How Did We Get Here?"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an opening reception for How Did We Get Here? An exhibition by Werner Sun displayed jointly at the Cayuga Museum and Schweinfurth Art Center.  \nThe work in this exhibition is drawn from three series that grew out of Sun’s fascination with how we perceive the world around us. Double Vision (in the Schweinfurth Art Center) features multi-panel pieces that evoke a fragmented experience of looking. Big Bang (at the Cayuga Museum of History & Art) channels pandemic-era anxiety through photographs of a glitching computer monitor. Rose Window (at the Cayuga Museum) is an extended improvisation on mathematical diagrams\, landscape photographs\, and calligraphic drawings/paintings\, where new pieces are generated from earlier works in the sequence. All three series are unified by a common visual vocabulary\, but they each project a different character — austere or agitated or organic — which speaks to the contrasting architectural styles of the Schweinfurth Art Center and the Cayuga Museum. \nThe reception will be held form 4:30 – 7:30 PM\, free admission and light refreshments will be served.  \nHow Did We Get Here? will be on display April 4 – May 17\, and Sun will present an artist talk on May 3 at 2 PM. \nLearn More
