Ah! Summer, a time for relaxation, family, friends, lawn and house repair, gardening, and of course, Adventure! An online dictionary states, "An adventure is an exciting or unusual experience. It may also be a bold, risky undertaking, with the outcome uncertain." What if this broad definition of adventure was overlaid with a specific event? Enter L'Avventura, the 1960 groundbreaking film by Michelangelo Antonioni that helped to facilitate a change in the direction of Western filmmaking and the language of art. Artist/curator Antonio Petracca has chosen painting, sculpture, installation/video art from the gallery and invited artists that he feels embody this basic yet complicated theme.
