Stephen Burt is curator of art exhibition at Biddeford's Engine

Stephen Burt, associate professor and chair, UNE Department of Art and Communications, is the curator for the exhibition Past-Present-Future, featuring works by the artists Elinore Hollinshead, Fritz Drury and Rimer Cardillo, which will be on display at the Engine gallery at Engine, 265 Main Street, Biddeford.

Burt writes that "while each of these artists utilize different methods and materials they all find inspiration in nature, a nature seen through the lens of memory, dreams, and portents of an imagined (or feared) future. They create work of substance that speaks not to the style of the moment but to a larger vision in which the history of images is an important part. Each also shares a commitment to instruction that is a testament to a generosity of spirit, sharing their skills and knowledge with new generations of artists."

Opening reception is Nov. 8th, 5-8pm. The exhibition runs through Nov. 30th.
