If you don’t think that’s going to happen any time soon, this might be the next best thing: The inventive artist and musician is featured this fall in a show at the McLean Project for the Arts. The exhibition opens on Thursday, September 10th with a reception and gallery talk from 7 to 9 p.m. and runs through October 24th. Rose will return to the McLean Center on three dates in October to explain and demonstrate the Scriptronics art form he developed. There’s even an opportunity for kids to try their hand at marrying sound and form. More details below.
