On view day and night

The Art Collection at Mid-Manhattan Library is pleased to present two exhibitions of color digital photographs by the well-known multi-media artist Lydia Venieri. In See No Evil she questions the media’s distortion of reality by how images of war and terror are represented, as she juxtaposes hyper-realistic pictures of war taken from film-stills with the images of children’s dolls. These constructed photographs engage viewers in a world addressing technology and human perception in relation to the dissemination of images and information. Douglas Maxwell curator, art critic and assistant professor of arts at New York University, will join Venieri for an Artist Dialogue on Monday May 18^th at 6:30 p.m. on the 6^th floor. The exhibition series Art in the Windows and Art Wall on Third are curated by Arezoo Moseni.
