BYFIELD — The Governor’s Academy is exhibiting Daylight Cravings: Sculptures and Photograms Exploring Light, Memory, and Atmosphere by Justin Kedl in the Peter R. Remis Lobby of the Wilkie Center for the Performing Arts through May 5.
Kedl is an artist and art historian born in Minnesota and raised in Colorado. He holds a bachelor’s degree in sculpture and graphic design from Gordon College and a master’s degree in modern and contemporary art history, theory, and criticism from Azusa Pacific University. His interest in 20th-century modernism informs both his scholarship and his studio practice.
Kedl was one of over 30 artists who contributed to Natura Obscura, an immersive installation at the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Colorado, and he was a young artist-in-residence at the Guldagergaard International Ceramic Research Center in Denmark. His scholarly work has appeared in journals, publications, and museum projects throughout New England.
Kedl’s artwork has been exhibited nationally and internationally. He works in the curatorial department at the Currier Museum of Art in New Hampshire and lives in Massachusetts with his wife and daughter.
An exbibit reception takes place on Friday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The gallery is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and by appointment on Saturday and Sunday. Contact Shanna Fliegel to make an appointment.
