“Ellipsis” [i-lip-sis] (n): the omission of one or more words that are superfluous or able to be understood from contextual clues… a sudden leap from one topic to another… a set of dots indicating an omission or a pause…”
The member artists of Xchanges present an exhibition of their own highly individual takes on the rich array of concepts offered by the word “ellipsis.” As all art involves the selection of what to put in or omit, sudden leaps of inspiration, and pauses to think, those three little dots can serve as the artist’s mental model of the process of art-making. A connection as much as an omission, the ellipsis reminds us that communication in art relies on societal and experiential clues.
Meet the artists in their studios and experience the vibrant creative community that is Xchanges. Many artists will have small works and cards for sale in their studios, and refreshments will be served — come join us for this festive celebration of art and those who make it!
