Dark Matter, work by Robert Thurmer
On view at Arts Collinwood Gallery – Friday, May 11 – Sunday, June 4
Opening Reception – Friday, May 11, 6pm-10pm
Robert Thurmer, is an artist who lives and works in Cleveland. This artist has shown his thought-provoking work at numerous shows locally, nationally and internationally. His current works to be featured at Arts Collinwood examine how we recognize art objects.
“Specifically: what are the markers for ‘art object’ that are generally recognized without specialized privileged information. To explore these ideas, I started making these recent sculptures in an attempt to make my own ‘found’ art, what I like to call paraphrastic objects – stand-ins that refer to certain kinds of conventional art objects.” Robert Thurmer
Join Robert Thurmer and guests at the Gallery at Arts Collinwood to view sculptures at the opening reception on May 11th. The Café at Arts Collinwood will be open as well for dinner and drinks before, during and after the opening from 6pm-10pm.
Robert will speak at a Gallery Talk hosted by local artist, professor, writer and Arts Collinwood Gallery Committee member, Dan Tranberg on Thursday, May 17th at 7pm at Arts Collinwood.
