About the exhibition:

鈥淎ltered Logistics: Redux鈥�

鈥淎 change in coordination or approach to something pre-set. Perception becomes surreality.鈥�

Curated by New York-based D. Dominick Lombardi, the 鈥淎ltered Logistics: Redux鈥� exhibition places emphasis on collage as it best describes the method of combining previously unrelated elements that form a new message, emotion or narrative. This can be easily seen in 12 of the 16 artists鈥� works in the exhibition. In addition to these dozen artists, he selected four artists that focus more on that moment of change, when the cognitive reprocessing of intake and altering strikes. Additionally, on these two sides of the general concept, the exhibit has both analog and digital examples of art. With all of this considered in the curatorial process, this exhibition ends up being a complex visual experience, and one that Lombardi hopes brings new insights and inspiration to all who see it.

The 鈥淎ltered Logistics: Redux鈥� exhibition features work created by the following artists: Serdar Arat, Erick Baltodano, Joel Carreiro, Cless, Vincent Dion, Cecilia Whittaker-Doe, Don Doe, Yeon Jin Kim, D. Dominick Lombardi, Paul Loughney, Max-O-Matic, T. Michael Martin, Creighton Michael, Kevin Mutch, Margaret Roleke and Lydia Viscardi. 

The University Galleries visitor hours for fall 2024 are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission to the galleries is free and open to the public.
