On view

Time-Sensitive

Tuesday, October 26th through Saturday, January 29th

ROY G BIV Gallery for Emerging Artists presents Time-Sensitive, an exhibition that features artwork exploring the idea of the ephemeral. Ephemeral artworks fade, disappear, or simply "end" due to the materials or time that they inhabit. The artworks in Time-Sensitive explore the impermanent and the transitory, as well as disintegration and decay. Juried by Ola Ståhl.

City Center presents Third Eye, a collection of artwork from ten Columbus-based artists who question, revolt against and embrace photography's impact on perception within contemporary culture. Through exploring the constructs and limitations of photography, the artists reveal its capacity to illustrate the relationship between artist, subject and viewer.
