On Friday, April 3, Polk Museum of Art will offer a unique opportunity for visitors to learn more about the artwork by Gregory Barsamian that is currently on display. For “Behind the Art,” Curator of Art Todd Behrens and Exhibits Specialist Gregory Mills will turn on the lights, turn off the machinery, and explain what makes this extraordinary artwork tick.
The Museum did something similar to this at its Patron Preview Reception a couple of weeks ago, and many of the patrons were amazed at the difference between how the sculptures appear when they are still and fully lit, and how they appear when they are moving and only lit by the strobe lights.
If you’re a little confused, check out this movie featuring one of the pieces in the exhibition. Keep in mind that this is a sculpture!
The event will begin at 12:15pm and is free with admission to the exhibition: $10 for adults, $8 seniors, $5 members, $4 member seniors, and $2 for students Kindergarten through college.
