Reminder: Katie Hargrave, Meredith Lynn to present ‘Over Look/Under Foot’
(Posted Nov. 3, 2020)
The New Gallery, with support from The Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts and the Department of Art + Design, is pleased to present Over Look/Under Foot, a new exhibition by artists Katie Hargrave and Meredith Lynn, to continue an exciting 2020-2021 exhibition season.
“Over Look/Under Foot is a multimedia exhibition that explores the historic, cultural and environmental impacts of public land,” said Michael Dickins, curator and director of The New Gallery at Austin Peay State University.
“Using tents, vinyl and projected imagery, Hargrave and Lynn investigate what it means to be tent campers and national parks enthusiasts that spend a lot of time in the company of Airstreams, Winnebagos and Jaycos,” Dickins said. “Appreciative of the RV for making a kind of relationship to nature possible, they also grapple with this relationship on lands that the federal government set aside to be preserved as wild.”
The exhibit opens Monday, Nov. 2, at The New Gallery, located in the Art + Design building on the campus of Austin Peay State University, and runs through Dec. 10.
A 360-degree virtual walkthrough will accompany this exhibition for those who wish to view the work from the safety of their homes. The walkthrough can be found on The New Gallery’s webpage and can be accessed via www.apsu.edu/art-design. The virtual walkthrough will be integrated with an ‘artist-led’ gallery tour.
An artist lecture with both Hargrave and Lynn will be held at 6 p.m. Nov. 10 via Zoom. Register here for this free talk.

Hours for The New Gallery are Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. The New Gallery is on weekends and holidays and follows the university’s academic calendar.
To maintain social distance measures, a 15-person limit rule will be in effect.
