SPECTATORS
Tonio LeFebre
The Davis Art Gallery
University of Denver
August 8 - September 14, 2025
This exhibit is meant to give art patrons the experience of going through the Spectator‘s evolution from the present time (represented by colorful paintings) to the earliest time, with color gradually digressing and eventually ending at the far, central wall, with three large-scale paintings, representing those earliest experiences.
When the patron reaches the central wall, they will be in the perspective of the earliest Spectators. They can then veer outwards to take in the artwork on the walls, gradually progressing to the current time as they near the exit.
Spectators is an invitation to walk, step-by-step, through the spectators’ evolution as experienced in the Piro/Tiwa tradition. May viewers walk in a good way and embrace the journey.
