Featured Exhibit AT THE SURREY ART GALLERY Experience new art, new ideas, and new media at Surrey’s contemporary art museum. Admission is free. Everyone is welcome. Out of Sight: Eadweard Muybridge & Harold Edgerton Jan 21−Mar 19 Opening Reception: Saturday, Jan 21 | 7:30−9:30pm The photographs of Muybridge and Edgerton were revolutionary in their ability to make time stand still. From stop-motion images of a galloping horse to a detailed splash of milk, the scientific experiments of these two photographic pioneers essentially freeze time to depict the mechanical truth of movement. Brought together, these bodies of work explore ideas about perception and representation, challenging viewers to reconsider what we see in our everyday encounters. Out of Sight is organized and circulated by the Vancouver Art Gallery with the generous support of the Killy Foundation.
