"Red Scare" is title of exhibit by Canadian artist at University Gallery

Old Dominion University Gallery opened a new exhibition Aug. 17 titled "Red Scare," featuring works by Canadian artist Adrian Göllner. He will give a presentation at noon Friday Aug. 30, in Room 136 of the Diehn Fine and Performing Arts Center.

The gallery, located at 350 W. 21st St. in Norfolk, will host a reception with the artist 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31. The show continues through Sept. 8.

Göllner is widely exhibited throughout Canada, the Netherlands and England, and has won several public-arts commissions. His largely satirical works employ abstract pattern and graphic design techniques that reference the histories of modern art and the Cold War to create a "faux propaganda." He pays particular attention to points where these histories coincide, such as the development of camouflage, the Russian avant-garde and abstract expressionism.

The gallery is open noon to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; noon to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 1-4 p.m. Sunday.
