April 6 Eastside Art Openings

New Amercian Art Union presents a group show "invisible.other" curated by TJ Norris. Artist-curator Norris is known for elegant minimalism and the work reflects that. Especially noteworthy is a video art work by Thomas Koner entitled Peripheriques #2 which graces the showcard. It images an anonymous crowd on the street in which composited layers bring individual faces to the fore, after, they disappear behind subsequent figures. The show includes work by Ted Apel, Daniel Barron, Richard Chartier, Melia Donovan, Leif Elggren, Ty Ennis, Michael Paulus, Susan Robb, Steve Roden, Abi Spring, Laura Vandenburgh. http://www.newamericanartunion.com/ 922 SE Ankeny
