The exhibition Lapse explores perspectives of time. What is time? What frames perceptions of past and future? What does it mean to be timeless? Artists often play with our linear sense of time, compressing historical and cultural places. As well, through the common desire of excavating the past, envisioning the future, and of adding to the voices that offer differing views of collective and personal memories. The artists participating in Lapse each have varying interdisciplinary practices and areas of interest in the subject of time. The works on display convey senses of time through concept and material, sometimes offering added interpretations to the motivating intents of the artists themselves. What the viewer is confronted with is a multi-directional look at visual representations that challenge the perceptions of a more ordered narrative of place and time.

Traditional landscape—depicted through painting, drawing, and other media—has been a staple throughout art history. As artists, we draw from what is around us, what inspires us, and, as a result, document our changing world. For this next show, MOPA hopes to put a contemporary twist on traditional landscape. The dramatic scale-shift that MOPA demands challenges expansive spaces to fit within miniature frameworks, questioning the fundamental nature of landscape.

I've never been inside an igloo. Have you? The zeitgeist led me to wondering…

What is the consumer’s definition of “free”?

Parallel to the impetus shaping an igloo, I set out to build a space from the naturalized materials available in my own local environment.

The result: shimmery organza, mylar, lots of staples, lots of magazine and catalog pages plus 6 weeks are the elements this igloo art installation is made of.
