"Magical Mix"
The American Dream means different things to different people, but most would agree it involves acquiring pretty stuff. With her site-specific installation Athenaia, local artist, Alexis Weidig has combined elements of her Albanian Orthodox heritage with objects representative of American pop culture to effect a work that richly evokes notions of old and new, high and low. Her use of craft materials in a variety of textures and finishes-from artificial birds to furniture pieces to rhinestones-appears both haphazard and precise, and indeed it is contradiction that guides this exceptional work. See it shimmer and shine before it closes Sunday.
