Aldrich Openings Rescheduled

RIDGEFIELD — Due to the travel complications brought about by last weekend’s snowstorm, The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art has rescheduled the opening reception for three exhibitions that were to open Sunday.

Openings will now be Sunday, January 30, from 4 to 6 pm.

“Solitude and Focus: Recent Works by MacDowell Colony Fellows in the Visual Arts” features recent work by 13 artists who participated in recent residencies at the Peterborough, N.Y., artists’ colony. The show offers a cross-section of visual arts disciplines, from  photography and painting to animation,  printmaking and installation.

“Alyson Shotz: Light, Sound, Space” is a one-artist presentation of site-specific sculpture by Ms Shotz that includes a shimmering wall of light consisting of 18,000 plastic oval Fresnel lenses measuring 38 feet long by more than 14 feet high.

The third show, “Shannon Plumb: Behind the Curtain,” offers a series of super-8 short films by the artist, ranging from 3 to 8 minutes, each starring the artist dressed as different characters and described as witty self-portraits.

All three shows will remain on view until June 22.

The museum is at 258 Main Street (Route 35) and can be reached at 203-438-4519.
