Mad River Valley Arts
Opening April 10: The Thief, The Spinner and The Fabulist. Reception: Thursday, April 10, 5–7 p.m. Story-telling moths: Thursday, April 10, 5–7 p.m. & Saturday, April 26, 5–7 p.m. This exhibition embraces the stories behind material culture and examines the physical object whether as art, gift, “symbolic other” or that which is used by us. The exhibition is a means to understand who we are through what we collect and how “physical things” interact in our lives. Mad Arts will curate inanimate objects that its community has loaned to them and will utilize the composition and symbolism that the still life genre conveys. This installation will be the tool for storytelling about the “physical world” in our community. Accompanying this exhibition are two story-telling moths where creatives from the community can, although not obliged, share stories of how these objects came into their lives.
