Museum displays Chicago artist
Paintings by Chicago artist Erik Weisenburger will be exhibited beginning at 11 a.m. Aug. 27 at the Wright Museum of Art, on the Beloit College campus.
The exhibit is called Graceland, after Chicago's historic cemetery of the same name. The artist states that "Graceland is a repository of Chicago history and architecture, and a microcosm of artistic and architectural details." The cemetery has surprised him with its intimacy and sense of community, and "the instinct to keep a foot in the mortal world through monumental and sentimental remembrance that paints a vignette of the true and our ideal memory."
The Wright Museum of Art is free and open to the public 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
