Sizing It Up: Scale in Nature and Art
Oct 10, 2015 - Sep 18, 2016
This exhibition in PEM's Art & Nature Center explores the concept of scale 鈥� from the nano-sized to the galactic 鈥� challenging our perception of perspective, relative size and proportion. Featured works include miniatures, sculptures, photography and installations loaned from regional, national and international contemporary artists, as well as works from PEM's collection. Interactives enable audiences to experiment with visual scale and to explore the role scale plays in art and our perception of the world around us.
