LENS is a multimedia installation by Gary Passanise, one of many local artists who have studio space inside City Museum’s halls.

Passanise says of this installation, “The images in this exhibit are an interactive montage of photo transparencies combined with the iconic views and activity from the fourth-floor windows of City Museum.

“In September of 2024 I attended an artist residency in Southwestern France and exhibited drawings and small sculpture*. The memory of events captured through the lens of photography are merely one aspect of constructing this exhibit. While memory is a significant catalyst for visual art, what remains fluid in the content of this body of work is the continual changes both from the light, time of day and the always evolving vistas and activity from the west side of the Museum.

“The title ‘Lens’ refers specifically to layering the experience of new and unusual vistas during my travels to Barcelona Spain and the consequent train ride documentation to and from the residency in Southwestern France.”
