WHERE:
Lee Wagener Art Gallery (Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport) Terminal 2, Departure Level.
Parking for the event is free. Attendees must bring their parking tickets to the gallery for validation.
WHEN:
Thursday, April 23, Noon to 1:00 p.m
WHO:
Broward Cultural Division's Public Art and Design Program invites members of the community to a 'Meet and Greet' with artists Wendy Wischer, Mary Lou Siefker, Suzanne Scherer and Pavel Ouporov.
Wendy Wischer creates conceptually-based work in a variety of media ranging from photography to sculptural objects, to site-specific installations, video and public works. Much of the work is based on blurring the separation between the intrinsic history of working with nature and the cutting edge of "New Media."
Mary Lou Siefker has been a resident of Fort Lauderdale for more than three decades. She has taught painting and design at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, and has worked as a docent in the education department at the Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University.
Scherer and Ouporov are a collaborative team who met while studying at the renowned Moscow Surikov State Academy Art Institute. They have received international recognition for their works encompassing painting, photography, video, and installation that draws on Medieval icon painting, Russian art history and literature; and are also winners of the 2007 South Florida Cultural Consortium Award.
What
Wendy Wischer will be signing posters of her artwork, Parallel, presently wrapping the buses on the Rental Car Center's shuttle fleet that transports passengers between the airport's terminals and the rental car facility. Parallel is a temporary art project using graphic design and hi-tech printed vinyl to wrap the airport's shuttle buses. The design is inspired by the mangrove tree, also known as the walking tree, which has its roots holding South Florida together. The images have been duplicated and reversed to create a mirror effect horizontally and vertically.
Both Mary Lou Siefker, Journey Through Life with Paint; and Scherer and Ouporov's video installation artwork Tree Rain, are presently on display at the Lee Wagener Art Gallery
