“Untitled (kite at sunset)” by Miguel Arzabe<\/p><\/div>\n

Works by four contemporary artists who engage with the concept of landscape in new ways are featured in the latest exhibition at Wright State University\u2019s Robert and Elaine Stein Galleries.<\/p>\n

Above and Below<\/em> will be on display Wednesday, Jan. 15, through Sunday, March 2. A public gallery talk will be held Sunday, Jan. 19, from 3 to 4 p.m., followed by a reception until 5:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

The exhibition includes video and photography by Dayton native Miguel Arzabe, now of New Mexico, paintings by Ben Gardner of Iowa and Nina Rizzo of Illinois, and paintings and works on paper by Amy Sacksteder of Michigan.<\/p>\n

Danielle Rante, assistant professor of art and art history at Wright State, curated the exhibition.<\/p>\n

\u201cBenjamin Gardner and Amy Sacksteder piece together visual and emotive qualities of the landscape to reveal unseen connections and interworkings on a personal or spiritual level,\u201d Rante said. \u201cThey disregard common inherit qualities of the landscape such as perspective and horizon lines and instead focus on experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe video work of Miquel Arzabe relies almost entirely on the horizon as a constant to the shifting objects,\u201d Rante added. \u201cNina Rizzo\u2019s tabletop landscapes of sushi alongside celestial bodies and icebergs each evoke the horizon on grand and intimate ways.\u201d<\/p>\n
