Local artist and IUP graduate, Nicholas Volpe, is pleased to announce his upcoming solo exhibition, Be Careful. The opening reception will run July 12 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm at the UnSmoke Systems Artspace in Braddock. Admission is free and open to the public.
Volpe’s Be Careful exhibition will use “value,” as the focal point of the show. According to Volpe, “value is defined as individual attitude and subjective worth assigned to the art. When we begin to interpret value, we use our senses to explore the quality of the object, the materials that compose the piece, the place it resides, the function of the object, the cultural and social implications, the trends and matters all the way down to who is in attendance.” This “value” is achieved through Volpe’s use of sculptural furniture and sculptural objects, which the audience then uses sentiment and personal experience to perceive the true value of the artwork.
