N/A: You Can't Play Yourself Back
All Stories

The opening reception for “An Architectural Ceremony” will be held from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 13. This is the first exhibit of the 2018-19 season at the H. F. Johnson Gallery of Art. Admission to the exhibition is free, and the public is welcome.

The show features the work of N/A, a collaborative moniker for artists Neeraja D (based in Bangalore, India) and Ahmed Ozsever (based in Chicago). Trained as a printmaker and photographer, respectively, their collective practice uses space as a form of language.

“An Architectural Ceremony” is an immersive, mixed media installation that negotiates the gallery’s architecture by incorporating sculpture, video, sound, and photographic elements. Rather than unifying individual works under a conventional two-person exhibition concept, the artists begin with found architectural drawings from years past — allowing each work of art to unfold and influence the next.

The exhibition runs through Oct. 19. The gallery’s regular hours are noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday (with Thursday evening hours from 6 to 8 p.m.) and 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday. Visit www.carthage.edu/art-gallery to learn more about the exhibition.
