AMARANTHINE MUSEUM
Treasure Hunt
Travel through the labyrinth of the Amaranthine Museum and find treasures in the details of the more than 200 paintings of the late Baltimore artist Les Harris. The labyrinth is a complex tapestry of images offering a reservoir of insight into the history of art and the creative process. Images range from dynamic Egyptian symbology and sculptures crafted from roots to depict the Greek alphabet to the Rose Window of Notre Dame, and a montage of paintings from the Romanesque through the 20th century.

CONTEMPORARY MUSEUM
Ben Gest: Commissure
Photographer Ben Gest creates complex and physhologically-charged portraits constructed from dozens and at times hundreds of digital photographs. His haunting images and unnerving compositions possess an exaggeration of space akin to Mannerist painting with skewed perspective and impossible renderings of space. Enacting everyday movements and interactions, Gest's subjects are captured deep in thought and internal reflection, charging ordinary gestures with new meaning.
Ben Gest: Commissure is Part 3 of Project 20, a two-year celebration of The Contemporary's twentieth anniversary with exhibitions and projects curated by former Contemporary Museum directors, curators, and exhibitiing artists. Ben Gest was selected for Project 20 by former Contemporary exhibiting artist, Dawoud Bey.
Fri Oct 1 Noon - 5pm The exhibition continues until January 23, 2011 and the Contemporary Museum is open Wed - Sun, Noon - 5pm.
The Contemporary Museum - 100 W. Centre Street
No advance reservations required.
