Fast Forward : Rewind : Play

May 11 – August 31, 2014

Fast Forward : Rewind : Play presents a playful and experimental format for an exhibition incorporating artwork, murals, creative exercises, and ideas from Art Center teaching artists, student artists, and youth artists. The Kanter-McCormick Gallery will become a curatorial laboratory for five quick-and-dirty shows proposed by participants involved in the Art Center’s Oakman Clinton School & Studios.
