In the spirit of Obsolescence, our current exhibit at the Overlook, join us for an afternoon reliving past memories and finding resonances in our wonderful artworks on view!
Curator's Statement:
This exhibit, featuring representational and non-representational artwork from 13 UVA artists, presents ideas and images related to the changes in technology, goods, services and even ideas. As these changes occur, obsolescence occurs and this phenomena results in waste and inefficiency. The primary reasons for items becoming outdated are related to changes to technical, functional and stylistic features. Changes may also be planned. Though change and impermanence for everything is inevitable, obsolescence hastens the amount of unwanted waste and things.
Artists were asked to think of how obsolescence has affected them personally or as part of society. The art delves into this experience or conveys an aspect of that experience and is meaningful to the artist and perhaps the audience.
Artists: SD Armour, Mary Barton-Lech, Paula Pitman Brown, Stephen Brown, Lee Collilouri, Giti Ganjei, Mary Gillis, John Higgins, Bob Greene, Sam Price, Adriana G. Prat, Allida Warn, and Andrew Zou.
