Hickory Museum of Arts “Blow Up” Exhibit
Now until November 25th. Blow Up explores the imaginative ways that artists use air as a tool for creating large-scale sculpture and includes imagery that is figurative and abstract. Accessible, yet rich with meaning, these pieces use the perception of space and unexpected materials to open a dialogue about pop culture and social norms. (VisitNC.com)
