About the theme
The exhibit asks artists to consider visual weight, tension, and spatial harmony. Balanced works may be symmetrical or contain elements that radiate from a central focal point, creating harmony and stability. Unbalanced works may feel unstable, precarious, or energetic through off-center focal points, clashing colors, or deliberate weight shifts. Examples of artists exploring these ideas include Richard Serra, Malevich, Andy Goldsworthy, Piet Mondrian, Helen Frankenthaler, and others.
Additional opportunities
Artists chosen will also be considered for other Victory Hall programs, including The Art Project JC lobbies and online Artsy.net exhibits throughout the year.
