The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents the Gallery Art Reception for "Messengers" on Thursday, February 1, 2024.
Join us for an reception celebrating the opening of our spring 2024 exhibition, "Messengers", featuring photography by artists Leslie Hewitt, Tarrah Krajnak, and Rodrigo Valenzuela.
"Messengers" explores the use of photography to communicate — not only through visual aesthetics, but to transmit more profound personal, cultural, and societal messages. Photography acts as a conduit for the artists’ hybrid interdisciplinary approaches, enabling them to convey rich and multifaceted narratives, evolving through their formal and material languages.
The title refers to the transcendental nature of photographic images to traverse time and space by capturing the moment in static form. Hewitt, Krajnak, and Valenzuela transmute the traditional boundaries of photography by juxtaposing constructed and archival images and abstracting the documentary and spatial attributes of images.
Guests can enjoy complimentary drinks and light hors d'oeuvres.
Admission is free and all are welcome.
Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech is located at 330 Turner Street NW in Blacksburg, VA.
