“More Pink Noise: Works by the Stella Collective” Oct. 25-Jan. 11, 2020 Var West Gallery 423 W. Pierce St.
Var West’s More Pink Noise: Works by the Stella Collective is a group exhibition featuring 11 artists. Rooted in photography, the artists’ individual approaches also incorporate video, installation, fiber, sound and sculpture, exploring and expanding upon the boundaries of each medium. For the past several years, the Stella Collective has been cultivating support among women in the fine art world; its members gather monthly to show and critique new work, develop practices and promote community. As for the “pink noise” part, it’s a metaphor for the dynamics of the collective: a pink noise sonic pattern is a mixture of all the audible frequencies playing simultaneously, where every octave has equal power. For more information, call 414-305-2444 or visit varwestgallery.com.
