Sometime before February 13 stop into the Wexner Center, perhaps post the holiday hoopla, and meander with eyes and body to experience …

This set of independent exhibitions features the work of six rising international artists on view inside and outside the Wexner Center. Organized by the Wexner Center and opening in conjunction with the center’s 21st anniversary celebrations, the presentations continue the Wex’s tradition of supporting younger artists in their efforts. http://www.wexarts.org/ex/?eventid=5079
 
The use of LED light in Erwin Redl’s piece Fetch is a whimsical jaw dropper that every dog lover can instantly plug into (couldn’t help it).  With light, the artist has captured memory, movement and  a moment in time.
 
Check out the exhibition. Embrace and support the innovative voices of these artists.  But make sure you go late enough, as the sun goes down, (closes at 6 most days tho) to get full advantage of the Fetch piece.
