The Invisible Dog Announces July 2011 Exhibits

The light of day; throw light on the subject; seen in this light; bring to light; see the light; the light of life-we see the world through light, the figure for our perception. All visual artists are, to some extent, light artists: light is the condition and the medium for vision. In our modern world, light comes from both natural and technological sources-electric and florescent light bulbs, neon signs, the glow of digital devices-and our perceptions (of knowledge, truth, love, and death, among other things) have changed accordingly. Contemporary light artists walk a dual path, both summoning the ancient metaphors of light, and casting new light on the modern condition.

In 2011, The Invisible Dog ignites and alights. After a year of grassroots evolution, we'll lift off in the new year, with a series of events around the theme of light.
