In
the exhibition, "Stillwater: Photographs by William Wylie,"
the artist captures the timeless qualities of the changing flow patterns
and light fluctuations on the Cache la Poudre River as it travels
through Fort Collins, Colo.
The exhibition opens Aug. 24 and runs through Oct. 27 at the
University of Virginia Art Museum. A reception, free for members,
$3 for others, will be held Friday, Aug. 30, 5:30 7:30 p.m., in
the museum. The reception is co-sponsored by the Artspace Committee
of the University Program Council.
Wylie,
assistant professor of art at U.Va., captures the experience of
water with his camera. "The Poudre can be seen from highways,
shopping malls, car lots, city parks and houses," said Wylie.
"Yet, just beyond the willow shoots, close to the water¹s surface,
the significance of place resonates."
The exhibition is presented in conjunction with the
publication of "Stillwater," a limited edition book of Wylie's
photographs of the river, published by Nazraeli Press.
Wylie will give a gallery talk and sign copies of
his book at a reception on Sunday, Sept.
29, at 2 p.m. in the museum.
The exhibition and gallery talk are sponsored by The
Hook, Tim and Virginia Michel and the Arts Enhancement Fund.
The
University of Virginia Art Museum is open to the public without
charge Tuesday through Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. Limited parking is available
for visitors behind the museum.
