Jane Hammond: In the Mind’s Eye
Greg Kucera Gallery
Jane Hammond’s uniquely skewed perspective arises from her practice of combining silver gelatin photography, collage, and lithography. The resulting surreal scenes are dense with absurdity and social commentary. In the Mind’s Eye displays a collection of these photographs and some of Hammond’s comparatively less bizarre works on paper.
Opening reception from 6 till 8. Artist talk on Saturday, June 6 at noon.

Mark Warren Jacques: Looking at You, Looking at Me
Flatcolor Gallery
The geometric precision and bold color patterns of Mark Warren Jacques’s paintings evoke another realm of existence than the one we experience; one that’s simple, pure, and infinite. Through these bold creations, Jacques attempts to communicate the impalpable feeling of being reciprocally watched by a power higher than yourself (be it nature, God, or something else) in his solo exhibit Looking at You, Looking at Me.
Opening reception from 5 till 9.

Bill Finger: Voyager
Punch Gallery
Get lost in Bill Finger’s new exhibit Voyager. No really, that’s the artist’s intent. Voyager attempts to recreate the freedom and beauty of getting lost on purpose through photos of Finger’s meticulously crafted miniature worlds. While the actual sets might be tiny, they manage to convey a sweeping sense of contemplative escapism.
Opening reception from 5 till 8.
