Connectivity
Through June 15Visual Arts
Exploring a rather broad topic that's open to plenty of interpretation, this new exhibit at McColl Center for Visual Art features a variety of artists, all of whom have created artwork with their own ideas of "connectivity" in mind. It's described as exploring "the underlying threads of connection found in natural, social, and technological systems." Curated by the folks at Cynthia-Reeves, a contemporary art gallery in Manhattan, the exhibit will feature works by 10 emerging artists — Janet Echelman, Yizkah Elyashiv, Beth Galston, Beth Ganz, John Grade, Daniel Kohn, Jonathan Prince, Shuli Sade, George Sherwood, and Claire Watkins.

Etched in the Eyes: David Herman, Jr.

Herman's upcoming exhibit at the Gantt Center will reveal aspects of that culture through photography, video and writing, while examining younger and older generations. Other newly opening exhibits: Jonathan Green: A Spiritual Journey of Life and I Got Freedom Up Over My Head: Portraits by Julie Moos.

Through June 15Visual Arts
Bending wood is one of those art techniques that I don’t understand — I’ve never witnessed it or been overly interested to read about it. It looks complicated and I kind of enjoy keeping its twisted process a mystery. Folks who share a view similar to mine or who appreciate the craftsmanship of this art form will want to visit New Gallery of Modern art for sculptor Rick Lazes’ The World Is Bending exhibit. Lazes, better known as CEO of the N.C. Music Factory, has been sculpting for three decades. The latest exhibit, filled with sleek, curvy, sharp designs and wood work is described as making “a social statement about the changes and challenges that people around the world are encountering during the early part of the 21st century.” Opening reception with complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres catered by Bernardin’s on May 17, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Free admission
