/ ABOUT THE EXHIBIT /
Redux Contemporary Art Center is proud to present Double Vision, a lecture Series. Lectures will take place on Mondays, March 9th - March 30th. All lectures are free and open to the public and will take place at Redux (136 St. Philip Street).
These events will pair one art related issue against another subject of equal significance from a seemingly unrelated field. Each Lecturer will deliver a 30-minute presentation; the audience will then discuss the possible or impossible relationships between the two.
