Description

Cocktails, appetizers, live music, and art! Join us for an evening at the Sordoni Art Gallery for a special look at the latest exhibit, State: Obvious/Not So by Dan R. Talley. Guests will enjoy Mexican-inspired appetizers and cocktails, live music by John Shemo, and a tour of the exhibit by gallery director, Heather Sincavage, at 6pm. Dan R. Talley is a Professor Emeritus, Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, where he taught Photography, Time-Based Media, and Professional Practices. He has been involved in the arts since 1970, working as gallery director, an arts writer, and an artist. Talley co-founded several arts organizations including Art Papers Magazine (Atlanta, GA), and Real Art Ways (Hartford, CT). Early in his career, Talley’s artwork—including photography, videos, drawings, and installations that incorporated audio and photographic projections—was exhibited at various galleries, museums, and alternative venues. His writings have appeared in a variety of publications including Sculpture Magazine, New Art Examiner, Ceramics Monthly, Art Papers Magazine, and in numerous exhibition catalogs and books. For much of his career, gallery administration has been a primary focus, but since stepping down as director of Kutztown University’s gallery in 2010, he is producing new artwork, much of it realized as photo-based pieces that continue his long-standing interest in Conceptualism and Minimalism.
