“The Tiveys: Looks, Sounds, Smells Like the Universe”
March 15-April 28
REAL TINSEL
1013 W. Historic Mitchell St.

The Tiveys—Hap, Quinn and Rhys, explore time and the Universe through a multi-disciplinary installation of smells, sounds and visual arts. The show feeds off the work Endless Events, a scroll from the “Origins Project” that maps the Universe’s scale from the smallest possible space-time dimension of energy-matter (1.6 x e-32 mm) to the largest known scale of a discreet region of galaxy clusters (8.8 x e+29 mm). Somewhere near the center lies the scale of our physical body inhabited and defined by human consciousness. As Mr. Spock would surely opine, “Fascinating.” For more information, call 347-683-0197 or visit realtinsel.com.
