Illusion
August 3 – September 1, 2012
STATEMENT
Illusion: A false idea or belief, a deceptive appearance or impression, something that betrays by producing misleading impressions of reality. The Center’s current exhibition is a visual representation of the ways that our minds and senses play tricks on us. Whether it is oranges that appear as glowing lanterns or a sheet blowing in the wind that integrates itself into the natural world around it, Illusion is a reminder that not everything is as we perceive it to be.
Illusion is a juried exhibition that was selected by Terry Etherton of Etherton Gallery. Founded in 1981, Etherton Gallery specializes in 19th, 20th Century and Contemporary Fine Art Photography. As one of the Southwest's premier galleries, its inventory incorporates museum quality works including turn-of-the century western American ethnographic and landscape photographs. Mixing traditional black and white contemporary imagery with vintage classical and digital technologies, the history of photography is always evident in the gallery's holdings.
