Perception
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art presents Perception, an exhibition that invites viewers to think about the relationship between their eyes and brains.
Perception is essential to the visual arts鈥攚e know art because we can perceive it. But can we trust that perception? Presided over by a giant brain and a pair of weeping eyes, this exhibition confronts us with static paintings that seem to move, diagrams that teach us nothing, and impossibly flattened models of perspectival space.
All of the artworks in Perception have been chosen from the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art鈥檚 permanent collection. Several of the pieces are new acquisitions, including a painting on aluminum by Thomas Burke, a fabric sculpture by Denise R. Duarte, a ceramic work by Dirk Staschke, and a neon sculpture by Thomas Ray Willis (previously on view in The Emotional Show).
