Event Details

Join us for a an in-depth look at the exhibition, “Christine Rebet: Sound of Time” in the Pamela Bass-Bookey and Harry Bookey Gallery. Attendees will have the chance to watch the full length of the exhibition films then discuss its context and meanings with an Art Center docent. In her films, Rebet imagines and invents visual forms for forgotten rituals, sacred landscapes, and oral histories. The films put historical fact in tension with objects, ideas, and traditions whose forms are unknown, emphasizing the slippery and enigmatic aspects of human knowledge and history.

Christine Rebet is the 2026 Toni and Tim Urban Artist-in-Residence.

Public guided tours are offered every Saturday from 1 – 2 pm. Free; no registration required.
