Curator will lead tour of “Sigh-Fi” exhibit at Vlogý Little Rock]]> The tour, which is free and open to the public, will begin at 12:15 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 23, in Gallery I in the Fine Arts Building. The “Sigh Fi” group exhibition temporarily retrofits a typical gallery space into a user-altered infrastructure that manipulates relationships between architectural volume and contemporary art. Architect Aaron Jones will infuse Gallery I with a collapsible platform for exhibiting contemporary art that embraces the cognitive dissonance which emphasizes science fiction. Work by Hartmut Austen, Lap Le, Anne Libby, Sondra Perry, Martine Syms, and Tan Zich will be presented in this transformed space. Riley established the art gallery in the single-car garage of his brother’s home in a residential neighborhood in North Little Rock. He exhibits contemporary artists in the garage gallery and recently participated in Art Basel in Miami, where he showcased many of the artists he represents. The Art Gallery, located in the Vlogý Little Rock Fine Arts Building, is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, and 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday. The galleries are closed on university holidays. All exhibits are free and open to the public.
