- Friday, Jan. 6 through Feb. 26 The Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts will open an exhibit featuring the work of Dean Valadez entitled “Our Plastic Visage and the Rainbow Machine Complex. The Gallery is free and open to the public Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. An open reception will take place on Friday, January 27, from 6:30 to 8 pm. RSVP by calling (262) 781-9520 or e-mail rsvp@wilson-center.com and write “dean” in the subject line. Valadez uses an imagery that feels much like a deconstruction of space and matter. Using acrylic, paper collage, and printing, Valadez creates futuristic, mechanical worlds in his works. Valadez’s earlier work draws inspiration from George Orwell’s book 1984 and focuses on the ways in which technology shapes our experience.
