On Thursday, February 22, the Nesto Gallery opens its doors to a new exhibit, Artificial Atmospheres, featuring the work of Deb Tod Wheeler and Robert Tod. Using video, sound and light exclusively, the artists spotlight our relationship to the environment.
“Their work is poignant and plaintive,” says Nesto Gallery Director Larry Pollans. “Even though their work focuses on the dangers of a deteriorating environment, the aura is still optimistic. In the Renaissance, artists insisted that beauty in nature was a sign of the sacred. Wheeler and Tod insist that beauty is a sign that we must work to protect the environment and hence our future.”
Parents are welcome to the opening reception on February 22, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Artificial Atmospheres will run in the Gallery through April 20. The Gallery is located on the lower level of the Art and Media Center.
