McColl Center of Visual Arts’ latest exhibit, ZipStir, features installations by Hong Seon Jang and Jonathan Brilliant. By focusing on space through the use of common manufactured materials (like plastic zip ties and wooden stir sticks) — which are used in a very uncommon way — both artists give deeper meaning to human nature and the environments in which we live. Stop in Sept. 3 through Jan. 8, 2011. The opening reception of this exhibit will take place on Sept. 24, from 6 p.m.-9 p.m.
Free admission. Gallery hours: Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. McColl Center for Visual Art, 721 N. Tryon St. 704-332-5535. www.mccollcenter.org.
