Come to the gallery for a round table discussion with co-directors Keaney and Trisha as they talk about the gallery and its 20 year history.
Neidhardt will discuss his new painting series, Modern Screen, a satirical commentary on electronic media in art. “There is elitism now about what you look at imagery with iPads, Blu-ray projectors, etc. which I suggest may be related to size rather than content,” Neidhardt says. “It is something akin to linking machismo with size.”
