Two recently opened exhibits at the Fleming will be on view for through the end of summer.
Volkswagenball, part of the Contemporary Project Series, is the first of three planned exhibitions that will feature the work of Lars-Erik Fisk, an alumnus of UVMs art department. Fisk has worked in New York and Burlington and was artistic director of the band Phish. Since 1996, he has created a series of large, spheroid sculptures that refer to specific objects, buildings and vehicles. Fleming Director Janie Cohen says his works merge pop and minimalist sensibilities with a playful sense of humor and impeccable craftsmanship Fisks earliest works in this series were exhibited on the Flemings lawn in 1997 and included Street Ball, Tree Ball and UPS Ball. The exhibit closes Aug. 4.
Prints from the Vermont Studio Center Press, in Johnson, will be on display at the museum through Aug. 25. The studio invites artists from across the country to work closely with VSCs master printer, Sarah Amos. The majority of the works are monoprints, a process that involves painting on a glass or metal plate and transferring it to paper on the press to yield just one print. The exhibit includes works from 45 artists, including Barbara Zucker, professor emerita of art.
