Description
The works in the exhibition Tempus Fugit share a fatalistic inclination; they collectively acknowledge our impotence in the face of a force -time- which we can neither stop nor turn back. The exhibition presents photographs by Micah Lexier and John Massey, an installation by Gary Spearin and paintings by Catherine Gibbon, Suzanne Nacha, David Bierk and Abraham Brueghel. A video by Nelson Henricks and a sculpture by Ted Bieler are also included. Essay by Linda Jansma.
