Institutional Memory is an exhibition of digital photographs by Danielle Fliegel. She shot the images during visits to abandoned homes, prisons, hospitals, churches, and public institutions in upstate New York. Fliegel creates lush, highly detailed digital photographs charged with the frisson of trespass. While we are made to share this feeling of intrusion, her images assiduously document the objects, surprising hues, and textures of decay that continue to animate these spaces. Fliegel simultaneously draws out the beauty and sense of tragedy in these depopulated, condemned and forgotten spaces.
Hypnopædia works in diverse media by Robert Link
through May 10
Wake Downtown, atrium 1+2
Hypnopædia is the process by which humans learn while sleeping. In this exhibition of drawings, intaglio prints, and sculpture for START.dt, Robert Link aestheticizes and problematizes the logic of scientific systems and moralizing mythologies alike.
Link is a senior at Wake Forest pursuing a B.S. in Physics with a double-major in Physics and Studio Art.
