Water Unspoken: Video by David Carlson will run April 16 through May 30 at McLean Project for the Arts (MPA). The five videos on exhibit in MPA’s Emerson Gallery are united by their focus on water as both subject matter and vehicle for the process of transcendence.
MPA Exhibitions Director, Nancy Sausser says “the videos are visually arresting while at the same time emotionally calming. David, a long time tai-chi practitioner, uses modern technology to communicate age-old and universal ideas about transcendence and oneness.” Carlson is an art teacher at MPA and Marymount University and resides in Arlington.
Also on exhibit are Vernal Efflorescence: New Works by Jill Parisi and When Looking Down Becomes Up: Encaustic Paintings by Marilyn Banner.
