Meet the artist, Jennifer Steinkamp, peruse the galleries, and groove to the music of DJ Slim Cutta as we celebrate the opening of Shimmering Tree: A Projection by Jennifer Steinkamp. Hors d'oeuvres and no-host bar provided by Relish Catering. Nationally-recognized digital artist Jennifer Steinkamp builds mesmerizing animations that could not exist in the real world. Her vividly seductive artwork, Mike Kelley, charts the passage of time by following the path of a single tree as it cycles through a year of change in 11 minutes. Using Steinkamp's graceful projection as a touchstone, the work's beauty and symbolism remind us of the potential of art to affect lives and inspire great ideas. The exhibition will be on view November 9, 2013 through January 26, 2014. Members: Free Non-Members: $10 Tickets sold at the door. No pre-sale tickets available.
