Offerings from In the Public Eye Range spans a century, from Auguste Rodin’s “The Thinker” (cast posthumously) and Salvador Dali’s “Triumphant Elephant” (cast posthumously) to Robert Indiana’s “LOVE” sculpture and David Mach’s “Wild Thing”.
Meanwhile, Bart’s site-specific installation, whereby a series of translucent canvas are strung up with wires, explores the relationship between art, its surroundings, and the viewers.
