OLD WESTBURY.- The Amelie A. Wallace Gallery at SUNY College at Old Westbury will present beginning November 8 "Sculptures in Four Dimensions," an exhibit featuring the artwork of Marta Chilindron and Karin Waisman. Their work reflects upon the concept of space and perception, including a fourth dimension: time. Turning that dimension into a central factor, they both create a sense of awareness regarding the mental construction lying beneath the materialization of space. Curated by Ana Tiscornia, a member of the faculty of the College's Visual Arts Department, the exhibition at the Wallace Gallery will run through December 8, 2006. There will be an opening reception held from 4-7 p.m. on November 8. Admission for the gallery is free and the exhibit will be open from Monday-Thursday from 1-5 p.m. and by appointment.
