Crow Museum of Asian Art presents "[ _____ ] Mirage" closing day
Sunday will be the final day to view "[ _____ ] Mirage" at Crow Museum on the campus of the University of Texas Dallas. Pronounced "blank mirage," the exhibition by SV Randall and Sara Dittrich employs textual iconography as both a visual and conceptual device. By leaving the brackets empty, the work invites viewers to add their own interpretation of what is seen/unseen, real/unreal. The interplay between text and void becomes a mirage in itself, an illusion shaped by perception, context, and interpretation.
