Two by Eight on Equity and Aesthetics – an Exhibit of Art Curated by Terry Plater

Two by Eight on Equity and Aesthetics in which local artists address two pressing concerns of constant interest: equity and aesthetics – will by on display at Tompkins County Public Library July through September 2007. The opening reception will be held on July 19, 2007, in the Borg Warner Community Room from 5:00 pm to 7:00 p.m. The artists will be talking about their work at 6:00 p.m.

Terry Plater, the curator of the exhibit, states “addressing the need for equity and aesthetics in my own life – and often negotiating a tension between the two – has been a constant preoccupation. In this exhibition, local artists will approach these two conditions or states of being in a series of works.”

The artists include Milton Curry, architect; Raymond Dalton, artist; Gregory Page, artist, and Terry Plater, artist.

You are invited to explore the interesting themes addressed by the artists as they look at dance, the monumental design in floral images, urban landscape and social housing, and more personal familial images.

The exhibit is made possible with grant support from the Community Arts Partnership.
