A sculpture exhibition engaging the specific characteristics and alinement of site.
The Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture is proud to present a one person exhibition of John Ruppert’s titled LAB: Empirical Evidence: John Ruppert. The exhibition spans Ruppert's recent explorations with installation, sculptural objects, photography, and sound as it relates to the world around us. Influenced by his intense interest in natural phenomena, Ruppert’s overarching investigation focus on the intersection of the natural world and humanity. In a broader sense, he seeks to develop a heightened consciousness of our precarious existence on the planet.
CADVC’s intention is to allow the artist to orchestrate his individual pieces and/or series within our main gallery space to produce a unique and comprehensive installation blurring the lines between art and science.
