The Zimmerli Museum, 81 Hamilton St., New Brunswick, will hold an opening reception for “Art: Works by Contemporary Artists” during “Art After Hours: First Wednesdays” on Sept. 5.
From the collection of Sally and Wynn Kramarsky, the exhibit celebrates the dynamic dialogue of art and language from 1960 to 2012, with more than 100 American drawings, prints, conceptual works on paper, and artists’ books. In this major exhibition, 48 artists explore the form, function, and multiple interpretations of language, juxtaposing both the verbal and visual aspects of individual words, passages of text, numbers, and symbols to prompt insights into a wide range of subjects.
The museum is closed to the public for the month of August as we prepare for the 2012-13 season.
