Program Coordinator Alex Echevarria included in exhibition at the Berman Museum of Art

Wayfarers
June 4 – September 6, 2015

Wayfarers asks whether the primarily visual act of looking at paintings can also become a multi-sensory experience. Playing off the idea of synesthesia, or a “union of the senses,” the exhibition is a selection of contemporary paintings that together might evoke a breezy, sun-soaked world—the smell of SPF, the sound of Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer” straining from a distant radio or crickets after dark, the taste and texture of salt water taffy, the tickle of a wave around your toes, the start of a sunburn, an innocent sexual tension. Covering a broad spectrum of styles and forms, from the narrative and figurative to the wildly abstract and experimental, the works on view in Wayfarers are by both established and emerging artists, including several for whom the exhibition will be their museum debut.
