Nebulous: Abstract Works from RAM’s Collection

June 7 – August 15, 2015

Responding to exhibition themes at both Racine Art Museum in downtown Racine and RAM’s Wustum Museum that include aspects of science fiction, Nebulous features work with phenomena that may be floating, transforming, or imprecise – as if somehow moving through another dimension. The purposeful ambiguity of the imagery—with references to things that are known—further encourages contemplation and reinforces the connection to science fiction and fantasy. Drawn primarily from RAM’s collection of works on paper, this exhibition offers contemporary artists producing pieces with a variety of approaches.
