When: AUGUST 21, 09 | 6:00 - 9:00pm

Info: Through a grant provided by the University of Minnesota’s Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, artist Brett Gustafson attempts to visualize the changing ways in which works of art are being consumed and viewed. Instant access to vast, visual online databases of historically important works of art creates a dramatic change to the creative environment, adding a new dynamic to the artist’s process. Gustafson’s large-scale inkjet prints on canvas are concerned directly with the collision of tradition and art history in the face of a rapidly changing visual web-based culture.
