A Passing Day: Land & Light paintings by Ellen Holtzblatt

March 12 - May 14, 2018, 8:30 am US/Central
In A Passing Day: Land and Light, Ellen Holtzblatt’s art explores the connection between the physical and the spiritual – the memories of the body that reside in the soul. Her recent landscape paintings of the Midwestern prairie and the Icelandic tundra become an allegory for psyche and emotion, as she considers place and how one’s surroundings impact feelings and thoughts – seeking lands that seem beyond the control of humans.

Dec. 7, 2018 - Feb. 18, 2019, 5:00 pm US/Central

A Lasting Mark: Artist Angela Gonzales at Fermilab 1967-1998

June 1 - Sept. 30, 2017, 5:00 pm US/Central
Robert Wilson handpicked Angela Gonzales in 1967 to collaborate and create a visual identity for Fermilab. Her vision was inspiring and bold. From designing book covers of scientific proceedings to posters for the arts and lecture series, she detailed her strategy. She incorporated visual objects that reflected the intellectual challenges and innovations within the laboratory. For 31 years, she worked with Fermilab and was a truly legendary artist.

Viewing Silence by Candace Wark and Shirley Nannini

Oct. 12 - Dec. 29, 2017, 8:30 am US/Central
Wind Flow Photography is a collaborative effort between Shirley Nannini and Candace Wark. By combining scientific and artistic schemata, their art evolves from the novel approach of photographing wind movement to convey its essence and transient nature. The resulting images—photographed in a wind tunnel—are adapted from a technique used in scientific research and portray the interactions of wind, smoke and light.
