The Gallery at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design (PCA&D) opened the exhibit "Pulse and Flow: Art of the Modern Zoetrope" by Eric Dyer on Nov. 12. The exhibit will run through Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022.
Dyer, a Baltimore-based artist, reimagines the zoetrope, a 19th-century optical device. This interactive exhibition features installations by Dyer that are meant to be activated by the viewer. Dyer's innovative art combines photography, sculpture, and technology that is both modern and more than a century old to bring sequential static images and objects into motion. His art plays with scale and perspective, and his work has been widely exhibited, from the Smithsonian National Gallery of Art and the screens of Times Square to the London International Film Festival, Ars Electronica, and the Venice and Cairo Biennales. Dyer, who teaches visual arts and animation at University of Maryland, Baltimore County, has been a Guggenheim Fellow, Sundance New Frontier Artist, Fulbright Fellow, and Creative Capital Artist.
Attendees should note that portions of this exhibition feature strobe lights and fast-moving images.
The gallery welcomes visitors from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The gallery is closed when the PCA&D campus is closed. Masks are required.
