Opening Reception, Center for the Arts Exhibitions

This event marks the opening of the Center for the Arts' fall exhibitions/sound installation, which includes a new sound installation by internationally renowned sound artist Stephen Vitiello based on unique insect recordings and micro sounds of the forest captured at Mountain Lake Biological Station in Pembroke, Virginia; work by acclaimed painter Philip Taafe, who has created a prolific body of work in which referential images borrowed from various cultural and scientific sources are layered together with inventive motifs; and paintings, photography, and video by artists from Israel, Holland, Canada, and the United States who build on, respond to, and trandform the time-honored tradition of still life through the lens of the 21st century.
