Artist Talk: "The Collector" by Logan Wood
June 11, 2025 from 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Institute for Human Science and Culture | 73 S. College St. Akron, OH 44325
Experience an eclectic array of findings and creations from local artist Logan Wood! Join Wood for a guided tour of his newly opened installation, The Collector. Through the imagery of horror media, hunting culture, and self-development, this installation represents an invasion of the private space of Wood’s alter ego, someone whose living environment is dominated by his collections.
This free event will include a presentation by Wood on his methods, inspirations, and experiences designing the exhibit, followed by a guided gallery tour. Limited space is available, so please RSVP for the event using the link below.
