New exhibit opens at Lawton Gallery this week

“Surface Archaic: Joshua Albers and Craig Clifford” opens Feb. 1 and runs through Feb. 22, 2018. “Joshua Albers and Craig Clifford explore how contemporary visual culture is shaped by both manual and mechanical processes such as ceramics, and digital media. Their collaborative exhibition looks at ways of capturing and reproducing form through established techniques such as mold-making and casting as well as emerging methods such as scanning and 3D printing. In their work, Clifford and Albers take a single element, such as a pre-existing physical object or a computer-rendered geometric shape and repeat, manipulate, and arrange it to construct new visual experiences that contrast historical modes of object making with contemporary approaches of industrial mass-production.” The opening reception is Thursday, Feb. 1 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The Lawton Gallery is located in the Theatre Hall building (Room 230) on the UW-Green Bay campus. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
