SUMMARY:Spring Exhibitions Opening
DESCRIPTION:The Trustees of The Visual Arts Center of New Jersey cordially invite you to a special opening of our spring exhibitions on Friday\, February 13\, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. The evening will feature light snacks\, and refreshments will be served. Click here to RSVP for the free event. A daylight hours preview is also available from 4–5 PM. No refreshments will be served at the daylight hours preview. \nThis spring\, VACNJ will showcase three exhibitions that examine various intersections of identity and representation. The exhibitions will feature artists whose work engages with themes such as material culture\, Indigenous identity\, queerness\, and cityscapes\, while questioning how narratives and visibility are controlled and reclaimed. Special attention is paid to the various processes of photography as artists demonstrate contemporary approaches to wet plate\, photogravure\, and other techniques. \nIn partnership with Art Bridges\, the Art Center is proud to host In Conversation: Will Wilson in the Main Gallery. In Conversation presents the works of Diné (Navajo) photographer Will Wilson (b. 1969) and Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868–1952). \nThe investigation of artists’ use of portraiture continues in the Mitzi and Warren Eisenberg Gallery with Gabriel Garcia Roman’s solo exhibition Present and Growing. Featured in this solo exhibition are not only his best-known portrait series\, “Queer Icons\,” but also a range of his works that capture his experiences as a queer Mexican-born artist from a working-class family. \nIn the Art Center’s Marité and Joe Robinson Strolling Gallery I\, photographer Chrystofer Davis captures the portrait of a city in his exhibition With Passing Years. In a selection of photos of his hometown of Newark\, NJ\, Davis showcases the personality of the Four Corners District\, combining his work with archival photos courtesy of the Newark Public Library to reveal the many lives the city has lived.
