The new installation, Transfigurations: Reanimating the Ancient Art of India by artist and experimental filmmaker David Lebrun, is now open. Part of an ambitious series, Lebrun and his creative team traveled the world to study and capture the beauty of iconic artworks through high resolution photography. In this immersive installation, centuries-old sculptures of the Hindu deities Shiva and Vishnu, as well as attendants to Vishnu, are meticulously sequenced and animated bringing each figure to life. A custom sound score written by composer Yuval Ron enhances the experience by creating a calm, contemplative atmosphere. This unique exhibition is currently on view in the Wefald Gallery where it will remain through May of 2023. For more information on this and other Beach Museum of Art exhibitions, please visit beach.k-state.edu.
On Thursday, October 20th, 2022, the museum will hold a Diwali Celebration from 5:00-7:00p.m. to compliment the Transfigurations exhibition. The event, also known as the “Festival of Lights”, is free and open to the public. Please join us for special activities, music, dance and refreshments.
