Words as Images

Exhibition Dates

August 26 – October 11, 2013

About the Exhibit...

Exhibiting Artists:  Michael Albert, Vicki DaSilva, Christina Galbiati, Naomi Grossman, Robert Jackson, and Julie Miller

This exhibition features a group of artists who often rely on text to create visual images. The words are presented in a visual context encouraging the viewer to look closer into the image and probe their meaning. Not only is this exhibition bringing prominent artists to Penn State Lehigh Valley but the grouping of this work demonstrates diversity of expression and variety of voice even within a somewhat narrow context of those who use words as images.

During this exhibition, a mural will be created using text and images that will be fashioned and found. Artists, Naomi Grossman and Michael Albert will conduct the making of the mural at different dates through the duration of the exhibition. Campus faculty will also have the opportunity to contribute to the mural with their classes. A time released photographic project was created to show the progression of the project from start to finish.
