SHAWNEE – The Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art will open an exhibit of photographs by California artist Rose-Lynn Fisher on October 12. The Fisher exhibit will remain at the Mabee-Gerrer through November 25.
The opening reception for Here and There: The Worlds of Rose-Lynn Fisher will be Friday, October 26 at 7p.m., and the artists will be in attendance. This reception is free and open to the public.
California photographer and mixed media artist Rose-Lynn Fisher explores the thresholds of everyday life by providing portfolios with a unique perspective. Fisher is best known for her decade long project photographing honey bees with a scanned electron microscope which creates a fantasy landscape that blends technology, anatomy and artistic vision.
She has explored such wide ranging topics as the couches left outside Hollywood neighborhoods, a land where Arabs and Jews have lived peacefully together for generations, the olive gardens of Italy, and the fantasy life of her dog, Douglas.
“This is the first retrospective exhibit of her work to include pieces from each of her projects," said Director Dane Pollei. “We are proud to be hosting this wonderful exhibition.”
The Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art is located on the campus of St. Gregory’s University, 1900 W. MacArthur St. in Shawnee. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 1 to 4 p.m. on Sundays. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors age 65 or older, $3 for students and children ages 6 to 17, and free for children age 5 and younger.
This exhibition is funded in part by the Oklahoma Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts, Allied Arts, the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, BancFirst, and Harrison Discount Pharmacy. Because of the CPN sponsorship, CPN members and employees receive free admission to the Museum during the exhibit.
