On this week’s episode of Out and About, host Jenn Gordon talks with William Butler from the Contemporary Art Center of Peoria about two exhibits currently on display at The Contemporary Art Center. "Home Sweet Home" by Iranian artist Shahrbanoo Hamzeh explores what occurs behind closed doors through melancholic and artful paintings and suggests that our bodies, domestic spaces and home countries function as three parallel homes on different levels. Her exhibit is on display in the Preston Jackson Gallery."Roger Bean & Chuck Flagg" showcases the collaborative work of these artists. From an early age, both Roger and Chuck took an interest in alternative photographic processes. Chuck was attracted to analog processes, like pinhole cameras. Roger worked most often with digital processes and print manipulation, like toning and dye transfers. Roger and Chuck met in 1969 as student and teacher respectively at IVC High School. Over the next 40 years, they developed a great friendship. This effort is their third collaborative exhibition and is on display in Gallery 3R.These exhibits are on display at the Contemporary Art Center now thru February 19.
