DEPTH PERCEPTION [museum exhibition]


  • Ackland Art Museum 101 South Columbia Street Chapel Hill, NC, 27514 United States (map)

In Depth Perception, six artists attempt to understand how we perceive the world around us, how we are affected by it, and how we identify ourselves within it. Each artist works through ideas of perception through such lenses as neurosis and power, social norms, and the ephemeral nature of time. Their explorations are based on personal experiences and memories, delve into human psychology, and even use scientific approaches such as residual or intentional mark-making. Depth Perception questions individual viewpoints in order to find a sense of objective understanding and come a little closer to finding a shared reality.

artists include:

Erin Canady, Willie T. Jones, Alyssa Miserendino, Travis Phillips, Drew Robertson, Saba Taj

Curated by Kelly McChesney, director of Flanders Gallery in Raleigh. McChesney has organized over 150 exhibitions for galleries, universities, corporations, non-profits, and alternative exhibition spaces.

Opening Reception: Thursday, 21 April, 5:30-7:30 PM.

Free and open to the public. Depth Perception is made possible in part by The Seymour and Carol Levin Foundation and by James Keith Brown and Eric Diefenbach.
