McColl Center for Art + Innovation is holding an opening reception for Ivan Toth Depeña’s mixed media installation, “Remember,” which will be exhibited through January 17th, 2016. The reception will take place on Friday, November 11th, 2016, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. It will be free to attend.
Free beer from Blue Blaze Brewing and NoDA Brewing will be on tap, until the kegs are dry. There will be a cash bar for wine and bottled beer.
There will also be an artist and curator talk.
A complimentary exhibition program with images by Depeña and an essay by Guest Curator Amanda Sanfilippo of Fringe Projects in Miami will be available at the opening reception.
Charlotte-based Alumnus Artist Ivan Toth Depeña invites you to explore the notion of memory through an immersive, illusory experience at McColl Center for Art + Innovation. Drawing inspiration from actual histories of McColl Center over the last century, Depeña manipulates perception to collapse time, creating a multi-dimensional present. The exhibition consists of a mixed media installation encompassing drawing, painting, sculpture, audio, and video.
In conjunction with the physical objects created with the media mentioned above, Depeña also incorporates a groundbreaking augmented reality mobile application that exists in various locations throughout the site of the installation.
Guest Curator: Amanda Sanfilippo / Fringe Projects, Miami
