Fran Bull, director of Gallery in-the-Field is pleased to announce the opening reception on Friday, September 9 of an exhibition by Brandon-based architect, artist and teacher Robert Black composed of three distinct yet interrelated parts: an installation entitled The Memory Chamber, an architectural installation; an exhibition by photographers of all ages entitled Photographic Memory and a four-session lecture and workshop series, Formings and Markings. Black explains the content of the lecture and workshop series thus: "The series is designed to awaken the power of art and creative expression in your life. We will explore memory, motivation and meaning in a safe, collaborative and lively setting."
The Memory Chamber is a walk-through architectural structure whose aim is to encourage a reconnection to images, sounds, smells and feelings of the past, present and future and an invitation to the gallery visitor to leave his/her own mark on the world.
Robert Black comes to Brandon from Ann Arbor, Michigan where he was a principal of Sunstructures Architects, award-winning and nationally recognized experts in sustainable design and energy-conscious architecture. His diverse professional practice includes community planning, architectural design and construction, group dynamics and facilitation, and the creation and production of installations and performance works of art. A current board member of the Carving Studio and Sculpture Center in West Rutland, Black has been active in creating a Master Plan for future expansion and design of the Carving Studio campus. Black's teaching includes a course entitled History Through Architecture which he brings each year to several Waldorf High Schools around the nation.
