IN REAL LIFE

September 1-30

What does art look like during a pandemic?

We find ourselves looking at what is being made on a screen more often lately. How does that change our perception of it? Some may find comfort looking at works through the sterility of an electronic screen, while others find this way of seeing lacks something. Pixels on a screen don’t always illustrate the whole of the work - you might miss the depth of the brushstrokes on a painting, the reflection of pigments and sheen as you pass by in reflecting light, the dimensionality of a sculpture or installation in 3-D space. 

Even so, we are fortunate that we even have the ability to view things online during a pandemic. If the screen is all we have access to, we embrace it. The gallery world has pivoted, providing for both an online presence as well as a personal experience. 

This new way of seeing art was already on the rise. It expanded as a social media movement where sharing the experience digitally became PART of the experience. People viewing artwork or performance no longer had to wait until they ran into someone who would describe what they had seen or heard. They sent photos and videos as they spectated, increasing visibility and translating the spectacle into a virtual dialog.

Several months ago we entered a different time. A time where to protect each other and enjoy ourselves we have to keep our distance. A time when the experience might be created for one.

Keystone Art Space is both artist work space and gallery environment. Although we have cancelled our artist-curated shows for 2020, we have decided to hold a group show featuring the many talents of the artists who have their studios here. IN REAL LIFE is our own first experiment in this new way of seeing. One can see the works online via our website and social media, or schedule an appointment to see the show in-person. 

Gallery appointments are in 30 minute blocks and will take place between 10am-4pm Tuesday - Saturday. There is a limit of 4 people per time block. Keystone is following state and county health and safety protocols for sanitizing and will admit only those wearing a face covering.
