What to do in Oklahoma on Sept. 6, 2012: Take in Last Call for "Fusion," "Mod Lang" at Oklahoma City Museum of Art

Karen LaMonte's (American, b. 1967) 2011 cast glass kimono sculpture "Chado" is featured in the new "Fusion (A New Century of Glass)" exhibit at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.

Today’s featured event:

Check out Last Call festivities from 5 to 9 tonight at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, 415 Couch Drive.

The event is celebrating the final days of the exhibitions “Fusion (A New Century of Glass)” and “projectSCREEN: Mod Lang by Jeremy Blake.” Admission is $5 after 5 pm, and members receive free admission.

Both exhibits close Sunday at the museum.

Organized by the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, “Fusion” features 47 works from the 21st century that embrace the diversity and depth of the human experience. This profound and thought-provoking exhibition includes examples by 20 contemporary artists working nationally and internationally who have engaged the medium of glass as part of their artistic practice. The objects reflect a range of subject matter and style and relate to concerns of the present day. The artists explore themes of social isolationism, paranoia, the passage of time, and also address the impact of technology on humanity and the environment, while exploring the dichotomy of utopian ideals and the realities of modern daily existence.
