Through March 28<\/h3>\n

Vanessa German: Miracles and Glory Abound<\/a>: The familiar painting \u201cWashington Crossing the Delaware\u201d by Emanuel Leutze is the starting point for German\u2019s sculptures. Using her own power-figures to imitate Leutze\u2019s composition, she sparks a conversation about public memory and rewriting history through the lens of privilege.<\/p>\n

Ralph Eugene Meatyard: Stages For Being<\/a>: Bringing concepts from Zen Buddhism and Surrealism to his photography, Meatyard (1925\u201372) painstakingly staged images in rural Kentucky that, working on multiple levels, are best read like poetry that uses symbolic language to provoke reflection and revelation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
