New York artist Devorah Sperber combines commonplace materials with simple optical devices to investigate the connections between art, perception and technology. Her works address the complex relationship between the way we think we see and the way the brain actually processes images. In this series, Sperber examines famous paintings from art history.
This event is for Kimball Art Center members and guests only.
Saturday, August 28th 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Come join us for an evening with Devorah Sperber, refreshments and small plates. Please RSVP to Jane Lindeman 435-649-8882 ext. 107 or email jane.lindeman@kimballartscenter.org
