| Event Description |
Over the past two decades John Zabrucky has been creating a series of flat relief works that celebrate the mysteries of technology. The hyper-detailed reliefs produced with industrial techniques are at the intersection of art and science suggesting both the beauty and terror of life in a high-tech world. Underlying the shinny surface of each machine-age altarpiece lies Zabrucky’s chilling dystopian vision of the machine which overtakes its creator. He uses a process so time consuming, technical and tedious that the resulting art can only be called Industrial Alchemy. A preview reception introduces the exhibition on Saturday, November 14th from 5:00- 7:00 p.m. OMA’s receptions are known for their party atmosphere complete with wine and scrumptious hors d’oeuvres prepared by OMA’s own Culinary Arts Council. Admission to the reception is $10, members of the museum enjoy complimentary admission as a benefit of membership. The exhibition will be on view November 15, 2009 through March 28, 2010. |
