“Riverside Silos/Shaping Spaces” Exhibit at ACP

“RIVERSIDE SILOS/SHAPING SPACES”: Photographs by Ricardo Barros and sculpture by Autin Wright will be featured in a dual exhibition on view March 23 through May 4 at the Arts Council of Princeton’s Taplin Gallery. An artist talk is Saturday, March 23 from 2-3 p.m., followed by an opening reception from 3-5 p.m.

The Arts Council of Princeton presents “Riverside Silos/Shaping Spaces,” a dual exhibition by photographer Ricardo Barros and sculptor Autin Wright. This installation addresses volume — the space a substance occupies — in various ways through light, shadow, and form.

“You could say we’re focusing on the same subject, but seeing it through different lenses,” says Princeton resident Barros.

“Or,” Wright adds, “We’re both pursuing a sculptural vision. Mine results in a three-dimensional sculpture. Ricardo works with similar forms to produce a two-dimensional photograph.”

“Riverside Silos/Shaping Spaces” will be on view in the Arts Council’s Taplin Gallery March 23 through May 4.

“We look forward to working again with Ricardo, our friend of many years,” says ACP Artistic Director Maria Evans. “And we’re excited about welcoming Autin to our gallery for the first time.”

An artist talk will be held on Saturday, March 23 from 2-3 p.m., followed by an opening reception from 3-5 p.m.

Also on view in the Lower Level Gallery will be Charles David Viera’s “WILD: Wildlife Paintings and Drawings.”

The Taplin Gallery is at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, 102 Witherspoon Street. Parking is available in the Spring and Hulfish Street Garages and at metered parking spots along Witherspoon Street and Paul Robeson Place.
