SlowArt Productions presents the group thematic exhibition, Juxtapositions. This exhibition will focus on and compare imaginary and reality based visual art. Works in the show will be "juxtaposed" to facilitate analysis and comparison in the mind of the viewer. Art created from the imagination must be solely created from the imagination and must not use photography or models from life as a reference. Reality based art must use real life or photography for reference and may be photography, digital art or media art (painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, mixed media) that is created incorporating or using photography as reference. All media and methods are acceptable. The exhibition will be held at the Limner Gallery from April 3 - 26, 2008. A $1000 cash award will be presented to one artist from the exhibition.
