Cleveland conservatory to host SUNY professor’s Lake Erie art exhibition
“Navigation: Lake Erie Great Lakes,” an exhibition by State University of New York at Fredonia Department of Visual Arts and New Media Professor Tim Frerichs, will open at the Morgan Conservatory in Cleveland on Friday at 6 p.m., with a virtual artist talk and gallery tour.
Frerichs’ mixed media installation includes more than 130 works and a large-scale installation that includes drawings, photographs, paperworks, collected flora and fauna and video. Many of the pieces and images can be viewed at Frerichs’ website.
For the last 25 years, Frerichs has used his artwork to address the impact humans have on the environment. His current work examines human activity as the dominant influence on environmental problems plaguing Lake Erie and the Great Lakes system.
