Gallery Exhibit Highlights Images of Abandonment
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. Admission is free and open to the public.
“Both artists deal with architectural motifs in different states of use or abandonment,” says Daniel Connolly, gallery director.
Roberts, a lens-based artist, layers images of nature with symbols, such as traffic signs that people see and recognize every day, distorting them.
Weir, a member of the Wayne State University faculty, focuses more on the decay of architecture and its return to nature. Some of her work is based in Detroit.
“I’m excited about this show because the gallery has updated its media,” says Connolly. “We bought two digital projectors that are being used to show Robert’s photography.”
A closing reception with the artists will be held Oct. 31 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the gallery.
