On display through January 19, 2025
The Dixon’s latest exhibition featuring Memphis artist, educator, curator, and musician Scott A. Carter explores sculpture, architecture, design, and sound. Carter’s collaged, semi-transparent wall reliefs look at first glance like abstract paintings, but are modular installations that utilize recycled and repurposed scraps or leftovers.
Carter will give a Munch and Learn presentation on December 4th, titled “Perfect in an Empty Room.”
