OPENING RECEPTION

'Circumatico':
Virginia Lavado &
Camilo Rojas

@ Field Library Gallery,
4 Nelson Ave, Peekskill
11-2pm

Circumactio in Latin is the act of making something symmetrical. Juxtaposing two seemingly similar objects, or subjects, Lavado and Rojas explore what makes us equal, or what makes us unequal. The drawings, photographs and video works in Circumactio endeavor to highlight the symmetry inherent in life; birth and rebirth; light day and dark night. 

HVCCA is delighted to partner with the Field Library for this PEEKSKILL PROJECT V Exhibition, on view through July 27th.  Event is FREE and open to the public.
 

Sun. June 9th
