The "Animate Earth" exhibit, hosted by the North Carolina State University, will end its run next month.
The exhibit is presented by ceramicist and photographer Andy Nasisse. Previously a professor at the University of Colorado, Nasisse has been a studio artist since 2005.
In recent years, Nasisse has pursued the concept of pareidolia, the tendency to perceive a different object when looking at something, in human art. This exhibit is a showcase of Nasisse's recent research and work in this area. Raleigh visitors can expect to see sculptures and other ceramic works that force them to question what they are seeing. Nasisse also talks about mimetoliths, which are naturally formed rock structures that resemble something else. These formations are a significant inspiration for Nasisse's own work.
The event will take place virtually on the university's Gregg Museum of Art and Design website. The museum is also reopening its in-person venue, where future exhibits and events will take place. Guests can expect the museum to give more information for future events, which are usually supported with the help of flyer printing.
The exhibit's last date is June 27. The event also has an online catalogue for anyone looking to purchase information related to the exhibit. Those planning on visiting the museum in-person can find it at 1903 Hillsborough Street. It is open from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Tuesdays to Fridays.
