Contemporary Art Center of VA
Two Sculpture + Extended Media graduates will have their work featured in “Transformed” at the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia in Virginia Beach through September 28.
The Contemporary Art Center of Virginia (CAC) wants you to see toilet paper rolls and gummy bears in a new way.
Those are just two of the unique materials employed by thirteen artists in “Transformed,” a group exhibition of two-dimensional, sculptural, installation and video art. Commonplace objects including fishing line, chairs, toothpicks and light bulbs have been manipulated, re-appropriated and elevated to the status of fine art.
“These materials are frequently relied upon for utilitarian purposes,” said CAC associate curator Natalie Bray. “The works in ‘Transformed’ investigate the physical potential of mundane and familiar items to become art objects that transcend their former roles in everyday life.”
