OPENING RECEPTION AND ARTISTS TALK: Friday, November 15, 5:30-8pm

VisArts presents "walking with," an exhibition of work by Lily Cox-Richard and Michael Jevon Demps. The art in this exhibition was made in response to, and with materials from, the artists’ walks in Richmond. As part of an ongoing project, the artists and their collaborators confront and honor place through walking, listening and making. Central to walking with is an interactive rock tumbler – an instrument and a time machine – that uses river water, silt and local clay to smooth and polish gravel and riprap.The exhibition grapples with questions of value, pace, attention and care. With urgency and wonder, this show considers what we can carry together, who we walk with and how.
