Exhibition Overview
Illumination
Kris Ercums, curator
Gallery 407, Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas
This exhibition explores the concept of illumination, both as light and knowledge. By contrasting works associated with light and those conjuring darkness, Illumination seeks to expand awareness about the hidden and obscured.
