The Aldrich unveils a new exhibit with an Opening Reception on Sunday May 1

The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum invites you to the Sunday, May 1 opening reception for Site Lines: Four Solo Exhibitions Engaging Place.

Artists David Brooks, Kim Jones, Peter Liversidge, and Virginia Overton are presenting their exhibitions in the galleries and in the space around the Museum, with installations in the Sculpture Garden, courtyards and along Main Street, as well as in the town of Ridgefield. The site-specific commissions range from sculpture to drawing and performance-based works and utilize materials found on or indigenous to the surrounding landscape, offering a response to “site” that underscores the institution’s material history and its visual condition by transforming scale and circumstance. Gravel Mirror, a work created at The Aldrich in 1968 by the influential artist and writer Robert Smithson, incorporated gravel found on the Museum’s grounds, and was a significant touchstone for the development of this exhibition series.

The free opening reception will take place from 2 to 5 pm, offering visitors the opportunity to meet the artists, take exhibition tours, participate in family activities, and purchase gourmet farm-to-museum boxed lunches prepared by Ridgefield’s own No. 109 Cheese & Wine.

The Aldrich is located at 258 Main Street, Ridgefield, CT.  For more information, call 203.438.4519 or visit aldrichart.org.
