A group exhibition will be on display from Feb. 7-March 6 in the Charles E. Becker Library on the Benedictine University at Springfield campus at 1500 N. Fifth St. An opening reception for the artists will be held Thursday, Feb. 7 from 4:30-6 p.m. The exhibition features the work of several artists that includes Richard Ford, Shirley Harrold, Michael Houser, Marianne Stremsterfer and Jessica Wallace working all forms of media.
The concept behind the exhibition looks at how technology has changed our lives so much that many depend on technology for their work, family communication and daily activities. In a world that screams more – does this dependency create more or less? Do we need more or less?
