Posted1/7/2021 2:37 PM On Tuesday, Jan. 12, the Fermilab Art & Lecture Series will present its next virtual "Gallery Talk" on "Imagining Reality," a photographic journey with Fermilab's Steve Geer. The program will begin at 7:30 p.m.
It is free but registration required at events.fnal.gov/art-gallery/. In January 2017, Geer began the project "River Ice," taking photographs of the transformation of the Chicago River. "While it lasts, the floating ice is always in motion and the compositions formed by its broken sheets and irregular polygons are forever changing," Geer stated on his website. "The appearance of the textured surface also changes with the light as clouds come and go and, as the day progresses, the color palette varies from fiery-heat to frigid-cold."
