Quantum physics and art

“Chart #3,’’ by John Anderson, in the group show “Stardust,’’ at Mad River Valley Arts, Waitsfield, Vt., through Oct. 31.

The gallery says:

“The Mad 802 Collective presents “Stardust,’’ an exhibition about The Quantum World. This multimedia installation looks at the behavior of photons, particles and mysterious patterns of quantum phenomena, inspiring us to think about the magic of the quantum fundamental basis to reality. Artists open up to their interpretation of the immaterial while engaging with the scales of the unimaginably tiny to the infinitely large.’’

Artists' homage to trees in a state that is mostly trees

“Uproot III” (charcoal on paper), by Julie Comnick, in the group show RISE: Trees; Our Botanical Giants, at Mad River Valley Arts, Waitsfield, Vt., through April 26.

The gallery says the show “features 20 artists paying homage to the tree in the creative process. Artists salute their relationship with wood materials reclaimed or formally crafted and in doing so push the conversation between man-made and nature into one of collaborative celebration.’’
