A travelling exhibition of wood carvings, engraving, and woodcuts from three giants of art history: Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669), Francisco Goya (1746-1828), and Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). This exhibition is presented on loan from the Park West Museum.

DARK ROOM: Reflecting Pool: Emergence of the Third Eye

Artist Kenneth Salter presents Reflecting Pool, an interactive device that generates mesmerizing, neo-psychedelic, fractal images and sounds that captivate and hypnotize. The device responds to Tai-Chi style movements of the viewer’s hands; immersing the viewer’s senses, mind and body into a holistic experience.
