For anyone in the Detroit area there is a great exhibition at Work•Detroit. The theme is icons. The exhibition includes some interesting video work as well as 2-D and 3-D work. My mandala entitled Primordial Sounds & Ancient Truths has been accepted into the Exhibition. I have included a few of the highlights of the exhibition in this post but make sure you take the time to stop by the Work•Detroit space to see the whole exhibit!
Show discription:
In contemporary culture the term icon is used in the general sense of symbol. An image, picture, or representation that stands for an object by signifying or representing it either concretely or by analogy. It may be a sacred item that channels spiritual energy. It may be a signaling device that taps into a shared visual vocabulary, that transcends language, dialect and even culture. It may be born of a response. An icon that is accepted and absorbed by one group may be misunderstood or rejected by another. As a word or graphic symbol an icon is a sign whose form suggests meaning, as on a computer display screen where it is a graphic symbol that usually suggests the type of object represented or the purpose of an available function.
Work•Detroit invited thinkers and makers to utilize chosen mediums to create icons that speak to their own observations and experiences.
