Upcoming Events
"Today I Wrote Nothing" Art Exhibit
Register HERE
The sun rose.
A barren fig tree.
The family dog passed.
Fell in love, fell out of love.
A funeral for Grandpa.
Courtney got married.
Another winter, another spring.
The fig tree bore fruit.
And the sun rose again.
Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. - Ecclesiastes
"Today I Wrote Nothing" is a one-night art gallery experience that directly confronts the human understanding of time. Using personal photos of every day in the last 10 years of the artist’s life, Brandon Kay creates a kaleidoscopic monolith of time that captures a nostalgia for the past yet challenges the unsettling nature of our mortal finitude. Anchored in the Book of Ecclesiastes, the artist explores whether the best days are ahead or already past.
