Why would someone sew a 60 foot long
dress or construct a three inch tall house? What are we to
think about a "baby" that requires a fork lift? These are
the very questions posed by the curators of the upcoming
exhibition entitled "Size Matters: Scale in Contemporary
Art" at the
Lubeznik
Center
for the Arts opening June 9. Meet the artists at the
Opening Reception on June 9 from
7:00 – 9:00 pm
(Chicago
time).
Although the art world began
producing larger and larger works throughout the 20th
century and certain cultures have created miniatures for
centuries, this exhibition showcases those artists who
create work that specifically addresses issues of scale.
Works exhibited will range from the enormous to the
minute; from ominous, to hilarious!
“Size Matters”, running from June 9 –
July 15 in the Hyndman Gallery, will showcase work from
national, regional and local artists and will include
painting, sculpture, fibers, sound and performance art.
Featured artists: Pate Conaway, Judy
Horwich, Carl Kock,

Sistler and Jill Summers of
Chicago, IL; Joel DeGrand of
Beverly Shores, IN; John Koelle
of Lake Forest, IL; Julie Laffin
